Nigeria’s gospel singer and songwriter, Lilian Nneka Nneji, has stated that Nigerians can look forward to her new set of songs this October which talk about confidence that Nigerians will overcome every hurdle and every enemy on their paths.
Nneji, also a worship leader from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) stated these in an interview adding that the songs also assured every believer that “God is taking us to a place of victory.”
The gospel minister, who released her first album in 2011, noted that the journey had not been easy for her but God has been faithful to her family and calling.
She said, “The journey has still not been easy I must say. You know as a mother, wife, pastor’s wife, sister, CEO and etc; juggling all of these in-between makes it more challenging as I still need to take care of everything and then do the music ministry at the same time. It is a whole lot but I must confess that God has helped me thus far. I’m standing today because God showed me mercy and gave me grace as in enough grace to run everything at the same time.
“Time and Finance have been a major challenge for me. I have several unreleased songs due to the fact that I have not been able to create time in the midst of my tight schedules and then finance to do a very quality production; music production runs into millions these days but I know God will help me.”
When asked what messages the church and Nigerians needed to hear particularly at the present times, she said, “The country is going through tough times and there’s so much pressure on people leading many to depression and it’s like, Nigerians needs songs that will encourage them to wait on God and the songs of Praises and Thanksgiving to God; after all only the living can feed.
“The major problem of Nigerian leaders is that they have allowed the spirit of greed to overshadow them and they feel they don’t need God in running the government of Nigeria, I will advise them to have the fear of God in their hearts and to go back to God for counsel on how to rule this nation Nigeria, I must say with my little experience abroad I can say Nigeria is extremely blessed.”
Speaking on her next big project, she said, “Nigerians should expect a praise medley this October, it’s going to be a great blessing to many. I’m also working on so many other songs which will be released soon as well.
“Like I said it’s a medley comprising of four (4) different songs, it’s in English, Yoruba and igbo, the songs are simply telling how good God is to us regardless what we are passing through as a nation and also assuring us that everything troubling us as a nation will be crushed by the Almighty God and then in the end God is taking us to a place of victory. It’s a song that will really really bless us that I can tell.
“Nigerians should keep trusting God, he definitely has great plans for us. Nigeria belongs to God and he won’t abandon us now that we need him the most. We can’t even afford not to trust God now that there are wars going on everywhere. In God alone we would trust.”
