  1. Hey! I don’t understand the kinda nomination you did here! Pls you guyz should go nominate those who really deserve to be voted. Those whose songz can heal. Likes of Sinach, Frank Edwards, Chris Morgan, Cris Emerald, etc. Not those guys who sing gospel songz like other secular artiste in the world! Pls take no offence about my post! Jst try to embrase d truth rather! Thanks
