Internationally acclaimed Nigerian gospel minister Ada Ehi, popularly known for chart topping hit songs “Only You”, “I Testify” will be coming to Uganda for the first time before the end of the year, her management has confirmed.
During an interview with UG Christian News, Ada’s management official, Steve Phronesis said that her concert has been set for 16th September 2017.
They are yet to confirm the length of her visit and venue to this website at a later date.
Many Christians find Ada’s style of music ministry unique, something that has enabled her make huge impact beyond the boarders of Nigeria.
“Only You”, “I Testify” are a few of several songs to her name that have become worship anthems in many Uganda Churches today, further crossing into the main-stream industry.
In Nigeria, her influence in the industry grew stronger when a woman suffering from a terminal condition, said she was restrained from committing suicide after hearing one of Ada’s songs.
Ada recently unveiled her latest music video ‘Jesus’, which is today reported to have surpasses a one million mark.
“It has been watched over 1.2 million times on video sharing platform within a month of its release.” The video director, Marvin Keyz told Nigeria’s press last week.
Ada, who has a B.Sc in Chemical and Polymer Engineering from Lagos State University, while narrating her story behind hit single ‘Only You Jesus. told Selah African: “A few years back my husband and I went through one of the most difficult times of our lives. “Men” sought to make themselves God…”
“They tried to humiliate and make an innocent man guilty not because he was but because they could! But for Jesus, we could have been broken and disgraced…. We turned to the only one we had, Jesus!”
“This isn’t just a song I sang, it is a song from my spirit… it is my answer! With Jesus, I have no plan B because every time I call upon him, he answers. And He did, He took the shame and pain away and gave Glory, More Grace and Fame, for how can we bow before the king of kings and bow to the whims of men, No Way!!! Indeed We Stand Tall before All Men.” She said.
Ada, signed to LoveWorld Records, was announced to have been in Uganda with Sinach last year, but she was unable to make it due to unavailable circumstance as Christ Embassy Ministries announced during the worship night at Namboole National Stadium on the 14th of October, 2016.
She is married with two children.
