I Got Yam, Chicken as Payment for Performances – Gospel singer Tim Godfrey.
Nigerian gospel singer Tim Godfrey has lamented the poor treatment of gospel artistes in Nigeria, revealing he once received bars of yam and a live chicken as payment for his performances.
In a viral video on Thursday, Godfrey expressed frustration over the unfair treatment of gospel singers, saying returning to Nigeria became difficult because event organisers and audiences often undervalue their efforts.
He said, “Coming to Nigeria became difficult because of how artists are being treated so badly. All of those stories of ‘why are they charging,’ ‘why are they collecting money,’ ‘why are they doing this,’ it got me so mad. I have collected two bars of yam as honorarium. I have collected a full, alive, living, walking, breathing chicken as honorarium. And that is what I’m going to use to pay school fees, pay house rent, buy property… No! That is so unfair.”
