The performance of Nigerian artist Oludipe David, popularly known as Spyro, at the Harvesters International Gospel Centers Christmas carol service in Lagos State on Sunday has stirred mixed reactions among attendees and online audiences.
As obtained by PUNCH METRO, the event flyer, the church invited celebrities such as Daniel Effiong, Bisola Ayeola, Dorathy Bachor, Sharon Ooja, Uzor Arukwe, Adeh Gbolahan, and Kenneth Ophopho for the event.
