In a bid to ginger worshippers at the service, the hype man started his performance with Naira Marley’s popular ‘Ayebo Ayeba’ line on his hit song Giddem.
The hypeman during his performance also spoke about God as the worshipper cheered him on before handing the mic to another colleague on stage.
Solomon Buchi, others react to video
While some Nigerians kicked against it, others argue it doesn’t matter and that it brings glory to God. Popular Christian writer, Solomon Buchi was among those who reacted to the video on the page it was shared.
“Hype man in church?” I miss when church was just calm hymns and simplicity. What is happening in churches?” Solomon wrote in the comment section.

The Christian writer further expressed displeasure in a series of posts via his official X handle. He wrote:
“Praise and worship sessions in church should not be a cleaner version of nightclubs. There was a time people of the world emulated Christians, now we emulate the world, because we no longer prioritize sanctification and consecration. Young Christians want to have hype men in check, dress like church baddies, have sex before marriage and cohabit and keep talking.”
