For Afro pop singer and songwriter, Chidinma Ekeli, it is time to retrace her steps and find her calling in God’s vineyard.
Having ruled the music scene for years with secular songs, Chidinma says she wasted too many years singing songs that don’t glorify the body of Christ.
Many people who have been following her career were surprised at her decision to quit doing secular music, an industry where she held sway for many years.
As one of the female Nigerian singers who rocked the airwaves with popular songs such as Fall in Love, Kedike, Jankoliko, among others, Chidinma confirmed that she has now become a minister of Christ and would love to be addressed as such.
She also deleted all pictures and videos of her previous secular songs from her Instagram page.
Her profile on the social media platform now reads: “I am an end-time soldier. My message is Jesus.”
Chidinma is now signed to Eezee Concepts, the label that is home to gospel star, Mercy Chinwo and under the label, she has released a new single titled “Jehova Overdo.”
She rose to prominence in 2010 after she won the Project Fame West Africa as a 19-year-old and later released her debut single, ‘Jankoliko’ featuring veteran star, Sound Sultan.
Chidinma was later signed to iLLBliss and Clarence Peters’ record label, Capital Hill/Goretti Company and became a West African sensation with the single, ‘Kedike.’
