HARDSHIP! Gospel Singer, Sister Nnenna Goodness Pleads For Financial Help
Veteran gospel singer Sister Nnenna Goodness has emotionally opened up about her struggles with poverty and frustration, seeking help from well-meaning Nigerians.
She broke down in tears in a viral video, stating that she had been enduring severe financial hardship after losing ownership rights of her songs that once made her famous.
Sister Nnenna pleaded with Nigerians to support her, sharing her bank details for assistance.
“When you see me, you will see frustration, rejection, and poverty. As a result of the frustration, we were chased out of the house,” she lamented.
Her revelation sparked widespread reactions, with social media users confirming that her songs remain available on YouTube—though they appear to be under the control of another individual.
Controversy over gospel music monetization
Sister Nnenna’s plea coincides with a growing debate on whether gospel artists should profit from their music. Pastor Femi Lazarus recently stirred controversy by discouraging gospel musicians from excessively monetizing their talents. However, his stance has drawn backlash, particularly after it was revealed that his ministry school charges $150 in fees.
Many critics argue that gospel artists deserve financial rewards for their work, especially as churches and ministries benefit from their music. Sister Nnenna’s situation has reignited discussions on the financial struggles of gospel musicians and the need for fair compensation.
As donations trickle in from compassionate fans, many Nigerians are calling for systemic changes to ensure artists like Sister Nnenna Goodness receive the recognition and financial stability they deserve.
Fuji music legend Saheed Osupa has reignited his feud with street-pop star Portable, declaring in a viral video that the younger artist will “still be dealt with”, but did not mention direct as to who he was referring to. This comes days after Portable publicly apologized for insulting Osupa during a copyright dispute.
The clash began on March 19 when Portable accused Osupa of reporting his song for copyright infringement after it sampled one of Osupa’s lines. Portable lashed out, calling the Fuji icon *”big for nothing,”* but backtracked a day later, pleading for forgiveness in a tearful video.
Despite Portable’s apology, Osupa’s latest remarks suggest the veteran musician hasn’t fully let go of the incident. The 55-year-old Fuji star, known for his sharp lyrics, delivered his message in his signature style—leaving fans speculating whether this feud is truly over.
Neither artist has issued an official statement, but the drama continues to spark reactions online. Will Portable respond, or has he learned his lesson? Only time will tell.

Expressing concern over the situation, Bobrisky revealed that he had not been informed of the reason for his detention. In his Instagram post, he wrote, “Guys, I have just been arrested by immigration in Nigeria. I don’t know what I did o.”
At the time of this report, it remains uncertain whether the arrest took place in Lagos, Abuja, or another part of the country. Additionally, there is no confirmation on whether Bobrisky was apprehended at a specific location or while in transit.
Efforts to reach the Nigerian Immigration Service for an official statement on the matter have so far been unsuccessful. However, the development has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians speculating about the possible reasons behind the arrest.
