Seasoned actor, Yemi Sodimu, has reminded critics of star gospel actress, Tope Alabi, that using traditional nuances in songs is not new.
He seems not to see anything grave in her singing ‘aboru aboye’ song in a recent performance.
Many have accused Alabi of delving into the traditional religion setting while others said she did not have regard for the traditionalists.
Yet, others said she had not done anything wrong as a creative and Christian.
Aboru aboye is a greeting parlance in Ifa religion.
But on a programme on Yes FM, Ibadan, Sodimu, who is also a veteran broadcaster, recalled some other instances traditional verses have been used especially in celebrating God in the church.
