Music transformed my life – Ese Mairo

Ese Mairo

Nigerian gospel musician Mairo Ese says music has transformed his life from poverty to fame.

Ese said in Lagos on Monday that most of his childhood dreams did not come true until he started singing.

The Lagos-based singer started professional music in 2008 and attributed his recent fame to grace and patience.

“I am privileged to have come from a family where we didn’t have all the good things of life around.

“But that gave my siblings and I a good understanding of being patient while you work hard towards your goal.

“Today, I make bold to say God’s grace has been sufficient all through my walk with him’’ he said.

The “Nani Gi’’ crowner added that his music was a reflection of his life and relationship with God.

“I live a life of worship everyday not minding the situation I find myself.

“It has helped to lay all my worries at the feet of God since that is the only thing a child of God can do instead of worrying about his or her troubles,’’ he said.

He urged upcoming gospel musicians to be persistent and remain focused to learn from mentors.

Ese, who recently released his single “Nani Gi’’ as a follow-up to his hit single “Ole Hallelujah’’, is steadily invited by music lovers to perform in concerts both home and abroad.

Mairo’s passion is worship and his underlying objective is to “lift up the name of Yahweh and bring people closer to their Creator’’.

He has released various songs beginning with “We Praise You’’ in 2005, “I Need You’’, “Gbagaun-gbagaun’’, “Iye Iye’’ and “You are the Reason’’ in 2014.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’. The Minister said by asking the US to refrain from selling warplanes and other military equipment to Nigeria based on a faulty premise, the Congressman has demonstrated a poor understanding of global security issues. ”Insecurity anywhere i

Gabon have also named Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong despite the player being left out of November’s World Cup qualifier in Mali. Ndong was in the capital city Libreville but failed to turn up for international duty ahead of the Mali game last month, forcing the Gabonese Football Federation [Fegafoot] to send him back to England. But a remorseful Ndong, who held clear-the-air talks with Fegafoot has been included in a 23-man Panthers squad. Other names to make the final party include Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina, Bruno Ecuélé Manga of Cardiff City and China-based striker Malick Evouna. Gabon coach José Antonio Camacho included three do
