Lovers and enthusiasts of gospel music on the mainland are getting ready for the fast-approaching bountiful praise concert ‘Kikida’ hosted by seasoned praise and worship leader, Shade Oshoba.
The much-anticipated praise concert which is set to hold on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at the Lagos Airport Hotel will feature other gospel music personalities including; Pastor Kunle Ajayi, Dami and Bukky Bekes, St. Raphael Oyetunji Ayorinde, Beejay Sax, Odunayo Aboderin and Foluke Omodara among others.
While explaining the essence behind the praise concert ‘Kikida’, Shade Oshoba categorically said that it was birthed out of the passion to praise God in an unusual way.
She said; “Kikida Concert is my debut music concert. I have waited this long to hear God give me directions on how to go about my first concert and I can say Kikida was born out of the passion to praise God in an unusual way because he had also, one way or the other, been good to humanity in different ways. You may not have had all the money in the world but you have life, good health, peace of mind and many other benefits that other people crave for. So, giving God bountiful praise is a way to say thank you.
“I was inspired to have a concert where people will not just come sing, dance and be ministered in their spirit soul and body but will also be inspired, refreshed and be empowered in my own little way. So, I decided to go into the street and online and identify creative entrepreneurs and aspiring music ministers and entrepreneurs whose skills can be better shaped for more productive results through training and empowerment,” Shade added.
