Most of These Afrobeats Musicians Are Just Singing R¥bbish That is Negatively Influencing Our Youth — Pastor Paul Enenche

Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has criticised Afrobeats, arguing that many songs in the genre lack meaningful content and are negatively influencing young people.

Speaking during the church’s Mid-year Worship Concert, Enenche announced a Youth Fire Night scheduled for September 25 and encouraged gospel artistes, including Prinx Emmanuel, to make themselves available as part of efforts to inspire youths through faith-based music.

“It is better to have music that is saying something that youth is hearing than the garbage that worldly musicians sing,” he said.

Enenche went on to criticise the content and lifestyle he believes many Afrobeats artistes promote, saying, “Most of those Afrobeats are just saying rubbish. Smoking Indian h+mp while they are singing and influencing the youths in negative ways.”

According to him, providing young people with better alternatives through gospel music can help steer them away from harmful influences.

“By the time you have this positive replacement for such garbage, then your life can not follow such a direction,” he said.

He added that he hopes more energetic gospel songs will carry deeper messages that will “be very word-loaded to disciple you, show you steps to take, how to stay away from negative friends, how to make the right decisions and so on.”
