Nigerian singer, Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua, better known professionally as Seyi Shay has revealed why she stopped attending her former church.
According to the singer, she stopped attending her church because a church leader proposed that the congregation stop singing new-age gospel songs and revert to old-school Christian songs and hymns that “are direct scripture.”
Seyi Shay said she could not fathom why people like the church leader would be happy singing songs that were written by “Slave owners” and passed down through generations while touring African ancestors.
In a post via her Instagram story, she urged Christians to research old-school Christian songs and hymns before singing them, stressing that ignorance is not godly.

She wrote, “One leader like that at my former church said something like, ‘we need to stop singing all these new age gospel songs in praise and worship and go back to singing hymns and only songs that are direct scripture…’
“Guess what, I stopped going to that church. Period.
“Because I don’t know how or why you would feel blessed and happy by singing some of the songs that slave owners wrote and forced them to sing and pass down through generations while bearing and torturing your ancestors. Makes no sense. Do your research! Ignorance is not Godly!”
