All of you coming here to make people believe gospel music is dead in Nigeria.. you have failed.. gospel music is growing everyday and more talented people are springing up. Don't come here and make it look as if secular music is like gospel music.
No way

We don't need to sacrifice for fame.

Thank you sir
Re: Nigerian Old Time Popular Gospel Artists: What They Are Now Up To by jclassiq(m): 6:13pm On Nov 07, 2022
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.

I don't know if that's Gordon's but wow! I'm surprised you are asking this.

Gordon's that actually started as a gospel singer before delving into comedy.

His first song is "today today my level don change..."

Check YouTube you might find it.

Those days men sang songs that glorified God and edified the people, most gospel artist in Nigeria these days are now competing with the world artists, dressing worldly, singing songs that don't edify, one sang daddy wey dey pamper as if God is his houseboy always ready to pamper him, whereas the bible tells us that we are soldiers of Christ, they barely know Christ, releasing pure junks. Then the contemporary gospel artists in America, at the point it's only God that will help them, those ones are competing to win Grammy, God will raise Psalmists after the order of David. Even now when we sing ancient hymns the songs still have power in them.

That's the only line you want to use to discredit that song?, Besides, how is it not scriptural to call God a Father that pampers? Balance is the hallmark of maturity. To emphasize a point, you don't have to nullify another

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.

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.
