Popular Nigerian musician and songwriter, Chidinma Ekile, has shared the reason behind her decision to stop singing secular music.
Chidinma, who left secular music to return to her roots, gospel, in 2021, made the announcement in a video on her YouTube page on Wednesday, April 3rd.
According to the “Kedike” crooner, despite her success, she felt empty after winning Project Fame in 2010. She stated that the emptiness caused her to reconnect with her source (God).
“I was looking for my fulfillment, but I didn’t find it until I reconnected with my source,” she said.
Popular Nigerian gospel singer and songwriter, Chidinma Ekile, has said that her decision to be born again was ordained by God.
Keep in mind that a few days ago, Chidinma Ekile left secular music to become a gospel artist, a decision that shocked most of her fans and followers.
When asked what drew her into making gospel music, the “Kedike singer” replied that her conversion is ordained by God.
She said ;
“Well, it has been ordained. It was actually a prophecy, so I was going to get here anyway. Though there was a time I wasn’t sure eventually I knew I was going to get there and what’s the better time than now?”
The beautiful screen diva also urged her fans to expect the move of God in her music career and also her songs.
”Fans should expect the move of God. Yes, I’m going to do the music but most importantly, I’m here because of God. So, expect the move of God and expect to be blessed.”
“The journey so far has been quite challenging. I’ve had to go through a whole lot of submission, prayer, and spending time with God. Prior to that, we all know how it has been before, and as I said, it is God who ordained that I’ll be a minister of the Gospel and this is just the right time for me to step into it.
“So, the journey has kind of prepared me for this season, for this particular time. So, I’m here to do God’s work”
