1. Apostle Professor Opoku Onyina is the immediate past chairman of my church, Church of Pentecost, having served in that capacity for 10 years (2008-2018). He is a Pastor, lecturer, and engaged with several boards and other duties.
2. During his chairmanship tenure, he preached 8,800 sermons with an average of 800 recorded messages per year. He wrote 18 books and 32 research academic articles. Very busy man right?
3. Well, let me shock you more. During this busy period of Apostle, he still was able to compose 162 distinct songs which are used by Church of Pentecost even to date. This is someone who does not tout himself as a gospel artiste. Call him a "part-time" gospel artiste!
Counsellor Daniel Fenyi, why all this lengthy background? I know you're asking yourself, right?
4. Look, Patience Nyarkoh, the "obi nyane me" hitmaker has started what looks like a beef in the gospel space. To her, Joe Mettle only samples Methodist and Pentecost Hymns and is overrated.
5. The fact is, Joe Mettle's contemporary and youthful brand connects more with the youths who naturally are hyper hence any artiste they support will naturally be hyped.
6. In 2017, Joe Mettle won the VGMA Artiste of the Year Award. In the category were E.L, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, MzVee and Medikal. In that year, in my opinion, apart from EL, Mettle was the least deserving but, hey, by God's favour, he bagged it.
