ppogba:


You are very correct.
Have you noticed that even in churches these days, what we have are gospel dealers instead of gospel leaders. It it an era of monetising your gift irrespective of whether souls are won through your ministration or not.

Buchi and Rosemary were not yet born when these Legends have been making music.

Show me a scripture or scriptures that says God is pampering us, 80% of gospel artists in Nigeria have swerved and mammon has been enthroned in their heart, they keep singing about car, house, money, to them that is goodness of God. I call them gospel entertainers. I watched a gospel music video of Kirk Franklin, he said the lion and the lamb will bow down to the goat. God forbid him. We all know what the Lion and the Lamb symbolises (Our Lord Jesus Christ) , the goat symbolises Satan.

Not really, I am doing research on Igbo Gospel songs, especially those done in the 70's, 80's and early 90's.
Plus, I am an avid fan of Bro. Israel Anyanele, I've been researching about his musical journey.

jclassiq:
It's a good list.

I must confess i wouldn't have recognized most of these people if i hadn't lived in the south west for such a long time.

Most of the artistes here are just Yoruba artistes and people that operate within Lagos and i understand.

Let me help you with some great ones from the south eastern part of Nigeria:

Caveat: I don't have much info about most of these guys current status.

Here goes:
1. Felix Ndukwe (my all time favorite)
2. Evangelist Mba Abarogu
3. Brother Israel Anyanele (Agape love band)
4. Brother Chidi Johnson (he sang "Nnam Abraham" )
5. Brother Elias Chikwe (he sounded very much like Obi Igwe)
6. Sister Rosemary Chukwu
7. Sister Patience Ogbonna
8. Famous Nkwa group ( kpọọ ya Chukwu n'ogaza)
9. Brother Cornelius Benjamin.
10.Sister oluchukwu okeke (neé okpalakunne)
11.Bro Paul nwokocha.
12.Chika okpala
13.Helen nkume
14 Obi Obidigbo
15. Luke ezeji
16. Ifeanyi ibeabuchi
17.Patty obasi -- dead
18.Obi Igwe -- dead
19.Okwara ezema -- dead (so sad)

Omo.. i love remembering these guys cos it's cathartic for me.

But let me stop here Sha.

kernniejay:

You are right. Also of worthy mention are
Evang Adebayo Adegboyega (There is no one like mother to me etc.)
Evang Adelakun (Amona tete ma bo)
*Gbenga Adewusi (Hello Olodumare)

That Amona song is evergreen. In demand always.

Annahh:
they don't care about witnessing to people, what they care about is honorarium, invite them to your church and they bill you.

The gospel industry in Nigeria is still active, churning out new talents everyday. Na you no just dey interested.

wiseone28:

Here are the lyrics of the song. Show me any part there that glorifies Satan .

Even when I fall your hand
You still dey hold my hand
Lover of my soul, You nor dey break my heart
I'll sing about your mercy
I'll sing about your grace
Na u dey burst my brain
Every night and day
Daddy wey dey pamper
Daddy wey Dey bless
Forever you're my father
Na u dey give me rest
When I look around
I see your faithfulness
I'll bow down on my knees
Cos na u wey be the best

1
Oghenetega
You, you're re Alpha and omega
Your goodness and mercy dey follow me up
Like say I be new convert
Who can battle with the Lord na
Not even May weather
Lord Jesus
On the cross of calvary you nor fall our hands
Because your mind dey
You dey burst our brain on a daily base
But na your head Naim d blood come out from
God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob
You made all things beautiful in your time with no makeup
You collect those things that be not
As though they were
Na so you take tell Lazarus to wake up
I nor come here to come Caparisone because this one nor be bobo
You say cast your bread upon the living waters
And when I do so when I come see am na jumbo
But sometimes we dey loose guard Like lord Lugard
But u still dey surprise Ronaldo how u take dey show us Mercy
Because the path of the Just is like a shinning light
That shines brighter and brighter unto a perfect day
We always step into prepared blessings
If God put u on, No man fit switch u off
So Who art thou o great mountain
Wetin dey worry you
Who you be where God dey
God is more real, more real than madrid
I say God is more real, more real than than Madrid
If God hand dey your on top ur matter
Be rest assured say you go occupy space
Baba we nor come here to do anything
We're just grateful
We're grateful for amazing grace


2.
You u fully load me with benefits
Everyday of my life I dey collect back to back wotowoto
I stand amazed in your presence
Knowing that you can do far beyond what I can think nor imagine
Amazing God you always come thru for me
You're my refuge and my fortress
Without you this life is worthless, God of the hills and the valleys
God of the Men and the papis, I say God of the hills and the valleys
God of the Men and the papis
All sufficiency, With you there's no emergency
I say with you there's no emergency
You forgive my sins and grant me amnesty
You, u forgive my sins and grant me amnesty
Na you, na you run am for me
You're a father and a friend, I call you my own bestie
I say you're a father and a friend, I call you my own bestie
Papa nor be lie I come lie for this platform
I go talk am as e be
This life nor go make sense
This life nor go make sense without you honestly
This life nor go make sense without you honestly
Na you dey pamper
Na you dey love
Na you dey set Compass without maths set
Na u dey pamper
Na u dey love
When dem put bolt dey waka dey go
U know say for u to catch up
U no need to put bolt u waka on top water
When dem don put bolt dey merchandise
You u know say you for you to sail thru
You no need to book bolt
You waka on top water and you catch up
Who reach u, heaven and earth dey adore you
Men dey bow before u, the 24 elders when dem bow na glory naim dem dey talk
because dem dey see different versions of u
See different versions of your doings
Me I for nor dey this platform dey talk like this
If nor be you when dey pamper
If nor be you when dey show mercy, if nor be you when dey show love
If nor be you wey dey front movement for me
If nor be you wey dey carry me
If nor be you when dey anchor me
If nor be you when dey open doors for me
If nor be you dey speak on my behalf when men dey back bite me
You be everything wey I get
Say out of my belly shall flow rivers of living water like Niger delta
Since I know you, I nor dey run kitikiti, I nor dey run katakata
I nor dey run helter skelter
You're my refuge and fortress, na you be my perfect shelter
Who reach you for this constituency
You're called the monarch of the universe
That is why you're not a local government chairman
Monarch of the universe naim dem dey call you
That is why you're not a local government chairman
You pick us from the miry clay, Set us high above the stage
When Men say there's a casting down
We nor need to gym to say there's a lifting up
When Men say there's a casting down
We, we nor need to gym to say there's a lifting up
God of capital, God of hallelujah, God of wonders
My men from South South call u osalugbua
Some of them look life finish call you Tamuno
Some say u be eledumare
Some from the east say Chineke bi nighwe
Some dey call you ikukuoma nonya
Hausa man look you call you Sariki Salama
Na u be Sariki Salama
Mai nayi daka soni haka
Wetin I do wen be say u love me like this
If nor be for you popsi me I nor know where me for dey
My aim for this life na to project you, because you deserve to be known
Dem nor know how Sleepless nights jam us but u came thru for us
You became our intro, You became our spokeman
You became the one
This life for nor really make sense without u senior
Senior u sent your only begotten son make e come, make e come anchor for us
Lord Jesus me I can't take your place
Your place na your place
Everything wen man be na God naim make am
I say Anything wen man be na God make am
Men dey travel go Dubai just to go seek for pleasure
But you there's no where to go
You're your own environment
That's is why you created everybody to bring you pleasure


And I will like you to show me the video or link to where Kirk Franklin said the lamb will bow for the goat

Goldmynemaniac:

Does being born in nearer times make them less legendary?

I daresay Messi is better than most football legends before him, yet, he was born just yesterday.

He is dead.
