Aidejay:I remembered one of our thanks giving service, frank Edward was present and Sammie was ministering in songs"leading praises" he den tried to sing one of frank Edward song, the guy(Edward) pointed at Sammie and told him he will take that , Edward walked straight to him n collect the mic from him. Edward lead only that song n one other n gave back the mic to Sammie. To me o, it's total wrong to perfume other actist song on stage. U make their absence inconsequential n make dem feel bad and they won't or can't be invited since other actist is performing the songs. Its not wise. 4 Likes |

i thought the experience was about experiencing God. who cares who's song an artiste performs that lead people to God? is this guy even saved at all? because to me, he is simply interested in the patterns of this world and how worldly musicians promote themselves and is using it as a yardstick to measure a gospel artiste's performance. dude, this is about GOD not about you or him. so just shush 1 Like |

Yeah.....i agree with you, yet he is popular, I cannot understand why. He used to be an ambassador for Pepsi or Coke, I can't remember exactly. His popularity definitely stems from singing people's songs all the time. naturefellow: 1 Like |

Give gifts means what? Will gifts pay his family's bills? Do you know how many gospel artistes quit their jobs so that they can be totally focused in their gospel career? Or you think an artistes who is gainfully employed eg as a banker, engineer, teacher, etc, would have the time to attend to ministration in different churches when need arises, when he is gainfully employed doing a 9/5 job? Think again. This is why artistes dump gospel and do hip hop music, the few gospel artistes who are still holding on are not even encouraged. LordTosinJ: 2 Likes 1 Share |

MorataFC:it's isn't about wether the song is gospel or secular. Copyright law exists to protect your intellectual property from theft. Secondly some songs aren't copyrighted so you can sing and reproduce them in every and any way you desire. The whole matter hangs on if the original creator protected the material. 1 Like |

Most gospel artistes do business, because if they do a 9/5 job or other job, they will always have problems with their bosses. Where will the capital come from, if after putting in money to produce music, they do free performances? How many bosses can tolerate an on/off employer? Except in countries where people can work in shifts. I just feel bad for this people, talents in churches should be encouraged. LordTosinJ: 2 Likes |

therajah: Either ways its still commercial. Groups/ individuals are sponsoring the event booking and performances at same time promoting their name and business brands. Its business as usual with a spiritual theme. Even at talent shows , the owner of the song is mentioned by the amateur contestants before singing. Professionals are expected to lead by example and not the other way round. Thank you 2 Likes |

alezzy13: How unacceptable? Some of Our artistes/actors/actresses intellectual property owners both religious and non religious are not enjoying the fruit of labour for the fear of been rebuked by self righteous thinking like yours. If more would speak up, more will have the sufficiency and exposure the foreign counterparts enjoys. The other day sinach song ( way maker) was sang by a foreign artiste without credit to her, his own countrymen called him to order. I guess he apologized. Many talented Christian artistes are stranded in Nigeria because it will be accorded a taboo to own right to their gospel songs to God. 1 Like |

MorataFC: I believe the songs in particular asu ekiye is holding claims are available as studio recorded. According to intellectual property law/copyright law, a popular material with different variations as church praise/worship songs, the singers can be grouped as top fans, while the professionals in the business of music whether religious or secular are expected to acknowledge colleagues in order to satisfy the 'right to use' code , which helps to keep all intellectual property owners in business. For me its not about asu ekiye, not about Sammie okposo, its the bigger picture ( the sustainability of Nigeria's music industry). Gospel music or not, Asu ekiye calling out another is a starting point. Thank you 1 Like |

Natifa: He has every right to ask for credit. Funny in developed countries where people work, pay taxes and pass revenue to government, that provides enabling environment to make the phone you used to type 'shush' he need not demand it, it is giving duly and that's how and why things work there but don't work in super religious countries like Nigeria. Intellectual property owners including gospel artistes are children of God who must work to eat too. Their songs / invitations to perform their own songs are their hustle.

AABBIIMM: Jesus paid it all on the cross and he said 'It is finished' So what then are you suffering, decreasing and crucifying as flesh that is bigger than the price he paid on the cross of Calvery? Please meditate on this. We now live by faith in Jesus according to Galatians 3:1-28, let that faith or some will say conscience guide you, dont deceive yourself ( Galatians 6:3) and it is also written repeatedly that faith alone without works is dead (James 2:14-26). This man has laboured( its not easy to write an original song worthy of copyright claims) allow him reap the fruits of his labour. Other people on the forum have said he's fond of it( doing others songs). Calling him to order is not a bad thing, its for future amends and for the good of the industry( Galatians 6:1). They are processionals in the gospel business they should know better as it is written in James 4:17. Peace!! 1 Like |

magicfingers009: So tell me how will you know the song that will bring down the presence of God. Will God tell them to sing another man's song before his presence is felt. And if he start singing midnight crew songs and bringing God's presence down, who will still contact midnight crew for a gig and if midnight crew don't performs at events, who is going to pay for their welfare or do they get things freely because they are gospel musicians. If davido has sang songs belonging to other artists while on stage you people would have bashed him, same also should this be.

The comments in this thread are why people take humility and gentle character for foolishness You spend hours writing a song, some dude goes and uses it to gesticulate all over a huge stage and gets paid in millions You open your mouth to complain, they will be talking Holy Spirit But I'll say it again, Holy Spirit will actually scold you if you use Him as an excuse not to stand up for yourself! God doesn't tell us to lie down and let people march up and down our bodies And Holy Spirit will not FILL your stomach. Don't be a chump! Tell the useless fellow to credit you for your song or give you your share of the proceeds. Is it not how Black Face became a hollowed out shell for over a decade? Because of people trying to excuse nonsense I wonder why only the offended party should be a Christian when the teef didn't have Christianity in mind when he was salivating all over your God-breathed song |

odikomo1:I understand the finished work of Calvary, though I don't claim to know it all as eternity isn't enough for me to comprehend the Redemptive Work sir. Does that mean you shouldn't walk in the light of Redemption? The Corinthians Church with all their giftings in 1Cor 3:3, Paul addressed them as being carnal, he addressed their envying, strifes and divisions. I'm saying again that the purpose of the songs is to edify the body of Christ, irrespective of who sang it, we're talking about worshipping God here lest we make a merchandise of the gospel. Shalom |

BluntBoy: Thanks for the enlightenment, really appreciated. My point though is that Christian music is not really supposed to be like the secular world. It's for the worship and glory of God, not for money primarily. More so, i don't think there's CCLI in Nigeria or that the artist in question copyrighted his song. |
Re: Asu Ekiye Calls Out Gospel Artistes At The Experience by glowingflame7: 6:42pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
Timoleon: Songs are to be copyrighted before you can start talking of infringement. Performance for financial gain is different from the context I mentioned. Also Christian music should be more of public domain not copyright. The great musicians are not wailing about copyright. It is unknown musicians like those in the thread that wail about copyright as if it is tuface and blackface songs. |
Re: Asu Ekiye Calls Out Gospel Artistes At The Experience by odikomo1(m): 9:45pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
AABBIIMM: Thank you. Indeed no one really knows all( 1 Corinthians 8:2, Eccles 8:16-17), and Eccles 9:11 all mentioned how the human mind is limited in understanding the things of this world and spirit realm. Hence we are expected to tread with caution( proverbs 12:18) You are right, i support that sometimes it may seem as merchandise of the gospel but lets be real that someone is getting invited and paid in that concert, money is a reality and necessity to support self and the Gospel. James said what good is our faith and spirituality if someone is sent away for demanding a physical( carnal) need( money, food, shelter etc)especially when they deserve to be attended to( James 2:14-17) In this case, the man (asu ekiye) is asking for his right to feed from his harvest. In James 2:18, James emphasised that show me faith and I will show u a living faith by deeds and not faith alone that is dead. Even Isaiah 29:13-14 warns to beware of self righteous teachings not from God but made by man to rob another. Almost all disciples were gainfully employed, trading among themselves. In this present times some people are genuinely working for the Lord no doubt, while others are smart using selected man-made rules refined from the bible to extort, deceive and outsmart others in the name of worshiping God. Like I left you with James 4:17 earlier. This is a call for religious persons/ artistes to examine themselves, be truthful to one another, careful not to shortchange others in the Lord's name. God supported trading among his children, whether product or skilled service but he condemned cheating in His name( Leviticus 25:17). I have a cousin who got fired for she was unable to recover the debts owed by her pastor, who bought items from her company through her with his spiritual father influence. With this call, I hope everyone will truly learn a lesson. Asu ekiye feels cheated out of his rights and source of food in God's name. Those who are involved should please come forward and clear their name. Simple. I rest my case! 1 Like |

odikomo1: Right to eat from his harvest indeed. If that's how Chris Tomlin, Don Moen, Kirk Franklin are hoarding their songs and behaving like worldlings, definitely it will not be blessed or used by God. If that was how Charles Finney and Fanny Crosby were harassing others to eat harvest, their songs will have died before them. You cannot serve God and money. Simple. |
