Viral Moment Captures Attendee Confusion at NSPPD Prayer Conference
A lady who attended the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) prayer conference in Lagos has sparked widespread discussion online after sharing a video capturing the moment a DJ played a song by the popular Nigerian duo P-Square. The incident, which occurred during the spiritual gathering organized by Pastor Jerry Eze of Streams of Joy International Church, left many attendees visibly confused and questioning the appropriateness of the music selection.
DJ's Song Choice Creates Stir Among Conference Participants
In a TikTok video posted by user @looseweightwithbenytar, the lady documented the unexpected moment when the DJ played Bunieya Enu by P-Square. The song, which contains both spiritual and secular elements in its lyrics, created a mixed reaction among the congregation. Many attendees appeared uncertain about whether the track qualified as gospel music, given its incorporation of worldly themes alongside religious references.
The video caption clearly expressed the poster's bewilderment: "The moment GenZ DJ played bulie ya by Psquare at NSPPD prayer conference and everybody fess confuse. Don’t tell me it’s gospel music cos the other lyrics of the song were secular lines." In subsequent comments, the lady emphasized that she did not find the situation amusing, highlighting the disconnect between the event's spiritual purpose and the musical selection.

Some users defended the DJ's selection, arguing that the song's uplifting message about praising God made it appropriate for the setting. @Parfait & Juice Parlour noted: "Nothing Really do the Song, e tire me say you weh be Igbo dy shock like you don’t know what bunie ya is n what enu is. How is lift God up worldly n we ThankGod worldly?… D dj no been plan to play the other lyrics nau."

Previous reports have included attendees sharing their preparation strategies for the event and others discussing conflicts within the community. The conference, led by Pastor Jerry Eze, continues to generate significant engagement both in person and across digital platforms, demonstrating its impact on Nigeria's religious and social landscape.
