Nigerian LGBT activist Bisi Alimi has sparked controversy by criticizing gospel singer Moses Bliss and his record label signee, Neeja, over a new video. In the video, Neeja is seen kneeling before Moses Bliss, who offers prayers while seated in a vehicle.
Alimi took to his Instagram story to denounce the act, labeling it as "pure stupidity and idolatry." This condemnation ignited a range of reactions on social media. Some defended the gesture as honoring a man who communicates with God directly, while others questioned the double standards in criticizing religious actions.
Meanwhile, one commenter pointed out the perceived contradiction of a gay rights activist commenting on matters of morality, and another raised doubts about Moses Bliss's role as either a pastor or gospel artist.
One emphasized the spiritual significance of the gesture, suggesting that it acknowledges the divine anointing upon Moses Bliss. Alimi's critique has ignited a debate about religious practices and the boundaries of idolatry within the Nigerian music industry.
