UK’s Pastor Tobi makes a case for Afrobeats, stirs mixed reactions

Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting that UK-based Nigerian clergyman, Tobi Adegboyega, has responded to those calling for his head over his bold support for the afrobeat genre and its stakeholders.

The flamboyant man of God said this during a recent church appearance where he addressed thousands of young people.

According to Adegboyega, he only recently started listening to the genre. It is commendable that young Nigerians have made something of themselves despite the odds against them.
