My Talent Got Me Into Gospel Music – Tosin Bee
Talented gospel artiste, Tosin Bee, has opened up on how his journey into gospel music and ministry started, with emphasis on the fact that he has encountered many challenges so far on the journey.
In a recent interview he granted, Tosin revealed that he didn’t intend to be a gospel artiste, adding that the natural talent in him for gospel music was just too much for him to look away from gospel music.
In his words: “As I grow, I realise my calling or purpose is to use the singing gift that I have as an instrument of worship to God, and also for the kingdom agenda of Gospel propagation.”
“Definitely my drive for excellence, most importantly, because our God is a God of excellence, always doing good, so anything I present to him must be good.”
“Well, having the right environment for growth in my field was a problem, also financial challenges. Moving from a familiar terrain (Ilorin) to an unfamiliar terrain (lagos).”
“I’ll call it a fusion of tungba/alujo music (African percussive music known among the Yorubas in Nigeria) and contemporary gospel. I have a strong background in both genres of music so I merged them and created a style unique to me.”
“Well, I try to be friendly with everybody, but there are boundaries that I have put in place to avoid moves that can mess up the ministry God has given me.”
“I have a number of songs I am dropping soon as part of an EP, it has collaborations with some of the gospel artistes, Like Prinx Emmanuel, Mr. M and Miracle, Adeyinka Alaseyori, Neon Adejo and many more.
“That will be ‘I have to tell the world’. The song talks about been vocal about God’s goodness. Sharing the testimony of God’s goodness to the world.”
“In all you do fear God and keep his commandments, and always strive for excellence.”
“I have done the ‘Praise Unlimited Tour 2023’, we had a really good turnout in every city we went to, and the people loved the African music, they really want us back.
“We are gearing up for TESTIMONY TOUR 2024, we will be going to the US, UK and CANADA, we have a long list of cities we are going to like Atlanta, New Jersey, Maryland, Chicago, Wisconsin, London, Newyork, Scarborough, Harrogate, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Toronto, Calgary, Winnipeg and Regina” – he concluded.
Our MPCA grandfinale will come up on the 20th of June 2024 at wocdif, along ringeoad, osogbo, osun state, Nigeria.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
