LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)-Nigerian Gospel singer Sola Allyson, has responded to critics after enduring severe backlash over the absence of the name ‘Jesus’ in her songs.
The ‘Eji Owuro’ crooner faced online bullying, following Dr Panam Percy Paul’s trending testimony of rejecting £24 million in 1995, to preserve the name of ‘Jesus’ in his songs.
In a lengthy post on X, Allyson, clapped back at critics telling them that she was a child of light and would promote the gospel in the same vein as her relationship with God.
In a series of rhetorical questions, she weighed the strength of their self esteem and true human nature, wondering why for years, she was a target for bullying by unkind people.

Allyson, emphasized that she did not have to serve God like the older generation to be deemed righteous, stating that bullying others did not promote the true worship of God. She also asked that she be left alone to walk her spiritual journey.
She wrote,
“Why are you people this callous and unkind? If this is what you are with your own Jesus, I don’t want to be identified with you lots! Can you see why really true souls who have found themselves distant themselves from you?
“Or is it that you are desperately looking for an addition of light-souls in your dark space and you must bully them into joining you??? Or you have low self esteem and you don’t feel enough without me? Because, kò yé mi.
“Or the Jesus presented to you is that who has low self esteem and looks for validation. Can’t you see that you have failed already? All these years? Why must I be like your fathers and mothers before you see what I am? Did I ask to be a part of you?
“Am I not walking my own journey and getting ahead in it? I don’t want to be a part of dark souls who outwardly present “Jesus”! This act says dark and callous!
“This is bullying! The Jesus I know Would NEVER do this! Anyone who does anything like this only calls The Name and not of The Name! I don’t want to be a part of you bullies and manipulators! Leave me to be and face your fellow vain, shallow and liar souls!”
