If you have this statistics and you are inviting the two artistes for a show , how much will you pay each of them ?
Elizabeth Tekeh is a big name in CAMEROON and has been around for a long time .
Mercy is Global and has great impact everywhere . The numbers and Statistics are there . She can be paid this amount anywhere she goes .
Dear Cameroonians , everything is not always disrespect, crowed that Mercy can pull and tickets that she can sell , Elizabeth might not be able .
Show organizers do not do charity , they are out for money and they pay according to the population you can gather .
Everything is not disrespect, no one will pay you much money just because you are a Cameroonian, they’ll pay you huge cus of your value . If we keep seeking for pity and favours we might never get there .
These two are great Gospel ministers but their impact and value is different.We must always accept reality and work towards growing .
Waiting for those who will say ZAMANI is degrading his own .
