Has your husband ever complained that you were
not giving him adequate attention because of your career?
Honestly, no. He has never done that. I
believe that in this life, God usually reserves a particular woman for a
particular man and a man for a particular woman. I couldn’t have married a
better man than my husband.
God blessed us with five lovely children.
And you still look this youthful after five
kids?
Don’t let my husband hear that o!
(laughter). People usually scream when I say that I have five children. But
remember that I’m Ada Jesus. So, it’s still part of God’s hands upon me.
How would you rate your career so far?
The encouragement supersedes the challenges. So, I would say
so far so good.
Who is your role model in the industry?
I have about three role models in the industry. They include
my mentor, Sister Vision Nwankwo; Sister Rosemary Chukwu and Evangelist Amaka
Okwuoha. They are all popular gospel artistes.
As an up-comer, how prepared are you to
contend with the challenges of being a celebrity?
I am aware of such challenges. But like
I always say, they are not enough to make me kill my God-given talents. I
believe the Biblical saying that with God all things are possible. The one who
blessed me with the talent will always equip me with the needed grace for
sustenance. I have heard that some artistes resort to juju (charms) and other sources of
earthly powers for protection and to ward off temptations and the likes. But I
don’t need juju for
protection or anything. In God, there is everything, for those that believe.
There have been complaints that some gospel
artistes are using subtle means to inject indecency, nudity and pornography
into their music videos. What is your reaction?
You will never see such in my works. It is ungodly and
condemnable to use God-given talent to deceive and mislead people. But such
people should remember that evil doers will never go unpunished. However, you
must also note that not all gospel artistes are into music for evangelistic intent.
Many of them have neither the talent nor divine call to sing. Some people do gospel music as a means of survival, just as it obtains in other genres. For
such people, you will never see any originality in their works. They only copy
other people’s works. And when you watch their lifestyles, you will shudder.
Gospel musicians should be like ministers of God – evangelists – and they must
do everything to the glory of God. Everything about their career and lifestyles
should be descent.
Have you been receiving romantic advances from
men; I mean, have they ever tried to take advantage of you as a result of your
tender looks?
If they have ever nursed such evil idea, I don’t know and I
don’t care to know. I only know that the way you comport yourself, as a woman,
married or not, determines how men will approach you. And as an artiste,
although you can’t do without your fans, comportment also applies. The way you
dress is the way you would be addressed. I’m married and the married should be
faithful to their matrimonial home.
The End
