Gospel music is my life not career –Hephzibah

Fast-rising gospel artiste, Kayode Akinrele, popularly called Hephzibah, in a chat with Saturday Beats, said that he has found fulfilment in his calling as a minister of God through his songs. The singer emphasized that he doesn’t consider gospel music a career; rather it is simply a pursuit of his life’s purpose.
He said, “Gospel music is not a career to me; it is my priority life purpose and I cannot leave it for anything else. That is also the reason I pursue it with so much zeal. It is not about the rewards I would get from it, rather, it is more about the number of lives that I am able to draw to Christ through my music.”

Why Blackface wasn’t involved in my show –Faze

All roads led to Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja  on February 23 for Faze’s birthday bash and concert tagged Faze and Friends. Every A-list entertainer made their way to Abuja to support the iconic singer who had not staged a concert in a while.

Some Men found me too confident to woo–Sola Salako-Ajulo

Sola Salako-Ajulo is a human rights activist and the president/founder of Consumer Advocacy Foundation of Nigeria. She tells Ademola Olonilua about her life, work and family
You once stated that your platform, Consumer Advocacy Foundation of Nigeria, started because you dislike being cheated. Have you always been like that?
I think I got that trait from my mother because she was more like an activist. She was the kind of person that would stand up and defend people who had no voice. I have always had that trait as a kid. I would stand up and speak up for people. When I was young, I was tagged, ITK which means I Too Know, because I always had an opinion. If you were taking advantage of somebody, I always pointed it out that it was not fair. The concept of fairness is something that I grew up with; it did not just start as an adult. I guess that over time, I was able to grow it into something that could be socially constructive and not just beneficial to the few people I meet.
