“Why will you sing that kind of thing? Can kids sing it?” Catholic Priest questions gospel singer Chinyere Udoma over lyrics of her latest song

A Catholic Priest has criticised gospel singer Chinyere Udoma for the lyrics of her latest song. The priest questioned why Chinyere used certain words in her song. He went on to ask her if children can sing the song. He wrote: “Dear Chinyere Udoma, I love you so much Ma’am. Please oo, that ur song ‘IHE DI GI MMA’, are you going to sing it in Church? Kids fit sing am?”  He added: “But wait, on a serious note, why you go sing that thing na. Why those words na?”  In the song in question, Udoma sang: “My flesh wants me to f*rnicate.  My flesh wants me to m@s+urbate. My flesh wants me to engage in h0mosxuality. My flesh wants me to steal. But I don’t want to do what my flesh wants. Heaven is important to me. I don’t want to do what my flesh wants. God hold me.” The priests post criticising the song has sparked mixed reactions. Some pointed out that even the bible did not mince words when naming certain sins and children read those parts of the bible. So, they questioned why the priest should try to police the words used by Udoma in her song. However, others agreed that Udoma could have passed her message across without being explicit.   The post “Why will you sing that kind of thing?
