Why I won’t monetise my YouTube page – Nathaniel Bassey
by Ganiyu Mubarak · The Eagle OnlineNigerian gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey, has again explained why he would not monetise the official YouTube channel for his popular event: “Hallelujah Challenge.”
Bassey said this on Thursday when he raised the alarm over scammers who have been creating fake YouTube pages to exploit worshippers.
The prayer initiative, which was launched by the cleric in 2017, is held twice a year.
He explained that the impostors “criminally clone” his official channel, hijacking the live stream to divert viewers and generate revenue.
He said: “There are people who join Hallelujah Challenge from fake pages on YouTube.
“Let me tell you why.
“Because of my personal concentration of not monetising ‘Hallelujah Challenge’, some criminals, crooks, and scams clone and pick the feed from our page to air it just to make money.
