Tope Alabi criticises fellow singer for calling God 'Oniduro mi' (My Guarantor) in her song

Renowned gospel singer, Tope Alabi has come under heavy censure for criticising the song of a fellow gospel artist, Adeyinka Alaseyori.

 

Tope Alabi, while ministering at a vigil in the early hours of June 12, criticized a term Alaseyori used in hailing God.

 

In the popular song titled Arojinle (Oni Duro Mi Ese O), Alaseyori referred to God as “Oniduro” which means ‘Guarantor’ in English language.

 

However, Tope Alabi faulted the word and publicly criticized the song and the singer, saying that the Holy Spirit did not approve of the term “Oniduro” being used to describe God.

 

She explained that when she tried singing the song, the Holy Spirit cautioned her, adding that God is not her guarantor but much more than that.

 

Watch the video of her speaking below; 

Why is Tope Alabi criticizing another person’s song this way in public?

If I’m correct, ‘Onídùró mi’ translates to ‘my guarantor’, how is it wrong to tag Jesus as your guarantor?

Reacting to this, many Nigerians took to social media to lambast the veteran singer as some accused her of being envious of how popular the song has become.

 

However, some, like media personality, Morayo Brown defended her, saying no one is above mistake.

Tope Alabi might start telling this gospel singers to submit the names they want to call God in their songs to her for approval because I don’t understand this bitterness she’s on about what someone else chose to call God ..
She messed up on this one

Tope Alabi must think she’s the only one that has the direct line to God.

Allow people praise God the way they want to, you don’t know their encounters.

Talmbout “Emi Mimo sowipe”

There’s really no need to discard the song like that, it smells like envy!

Tope Alabi is already well-known. What does it benefit her to pull other Gospel artists down? The Gospel music industry had not turn devolved into competition. Sigh ☹️💔

Arrant nonsense
Hebrews 7:22 (KJV) By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
And another word for surety is guarantor which Means oniduro in Yoruba pic.twitter.com/mAMazrA0qZ

Tope Alabi publicly condemned Yinka Alaseyori’s Onídùró mi song but God changed the criticism to free PR.

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

🙌🙌🙌

Only God can reject the names we call Him & not any humans even no pastor can’t.

Like now, Jesus is my surest padi.

Who are you to say someone shouldn’t call God the names he/she wants.

Tope Alabi is not God’s PA, mama should rest.

Tope Alabi has called way so many different names in her songs and we’ve gladly sang along with her ..
Why is it a problem for her another gospel singer called GOD a certain name ???
What does Olorun gban gban mean??
She can’t tuck in her jealousy and it’s so not Christlike.
