Nigerian comedian and reality TV personality DeeOne has criticized gospel singer Yinka Alaseyori following her public apology over comments she made regarding the country’s security situation.
The controversy began after Alaseyori, during a live prayer session, addressed the growing concerns surrounding insecurity in Nigeria. Speaking on the recent abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State, she stated that the government was making efforts to tackle security challenges and encouraged Nigerians to pray for President Bola Tinubu and security operatives.
Her remarks sparked widespread reactions online, prompting the gospel singer to issue a public apology in a video released on Wednesday.
Reacting to the apology, DeeOne expressed disappointment, arguing that Alaseyori should not have retracted her statement. According to him, the singer spoke under spiritual inspiration and should have remained confident in her message.
He further suggested that public criticism influenced her decision to apologize, accusing her of allowing societal pressure to override her convictions.
“Pressure made you apologize. You have to displease God to please men,” DeeOne said while reacting to the development.
“Mrs Yinka Alaseyori, first of all, I want to thank you and thank God for your ministry. God has used you a lot but what you did today, please don’t ever try it again. There’s a way that seemeth right to man but the end is destruction. You were in the spirit when you were saying those things that you were saying that people should pray. I want to believe that it was God that was speaking through you, but you lost an opportunity to evangelise the world.
“I can bet 100% that you did not seek the face of God before you made that apology video. Na pressure makes you go do that thing (apology), you apologize because people were dragging you. Maybe you are looking at it that they no go call you again for events or people would not like you. The Bible says I would look up to the hills, from where my help comes from. No be all of us wey dey drag go feed you. If you’re in doubt, you would have to go back to God on your knees and ask God. You’re a minister of God and not just an entertainer.
“Is what you said wrong? ‘No, but pressure made you apologize. You have to displease God to please men, and there would be spiritual repercussions. I hope you know that. Please don’t ever under any circumstances do that again. I don’t know who advised you but whoever advised you did not give you good advice. Under no circumstance should you try this again. I’m sure that the host of heaven will be so disappointed but God is a forgiven father.
” I’m not trying to hail anybody here but you see people like Testimony Jaga, they remind some of us of how the disciples dey follow Jesus. Jesus is not gentle oo, He is rugged.
