It was yet another stressful day for Nigerians as they struggle through the lingering hardship rocking the country.
While many people went about their usual business, an X user named Shola was less concerned with the hunger, there was something else bothering him, and he could no longer hold it.
He immediately took to his handle and threw open his question to the public.
He asked, “why are Nigerian male gospel singers marrying women from other countries? Our church girls too are red flag?”
Shola’s question as funny as it sounds sparked huge debate on social media with numerous views flooding the platform.
Indeed, what Shola noticed is not far from the truth, because many male gospel singers in Nigeria are in fact married to women from other countries.
