A fresh debate has emerged within Nigeria’s Christian community following comments by former vice president Yemi Osinbajo on the concept of prosperity gospel.
Speaking during a church discussion, Osinbajo dismissed the doctrine, stating that there was "no such thing as prosperity gospel" and insisting that "there is only the gospel of Jesus Christ."
His opinion quickly gained attention across religious and social media spaces.
The comments drew a public response from gospel artist Testimony Jaga, who challenged Osinbajo’s position in a video that has since circulated widely online.
In the clip, the singer echoed Osinbajo’s phrasing while disputing his conclusion, arguing that the issue required deeper theological and practical consideration.

Jaga went further by questioning Osinbajo’s moral authority to define church doctrine, linking his criticism to the former vice president’s time in public office.
He pointed out broader issues on leadership, accountability, and social responsibility, urging Osinbajo to demonstrate tangible contributions to poverty alleviation and education.
"With due respect, sir, I want to challenge you openly… show Nigerians what you did when you were vice president.
"When they asked you to resign as a good Christian, did you resign?
"Show us how many poor people you have helped… show us one school that you built," he said.
The exchange has fuelled wider discussion within religious and public circles, with many debating the place of wealth teachings in Christianity and how faith should intersect with leadership, governance, and social impact.
