Nigerian gospel singer and songwriter Chidinma Ekile, known by the stage name Chidinma, has teamed up with Ivorian act KS Bloom on the song “Blessings Follow Me”.

The song is a track off her latest album, “Psalm 16”.

Chidinma Ekile who recently transitioned from secular to gospel music has recounted how she got convinced to embark on the switch.

Opening up on the transition, Chidinma Ekile, she disclosed that she went on a retreat for 3 months, prayed and fasted on a mountain top to hear from God.

According to her, she took a break from social media and everything, just to be with God alone.

“The whole journey wasn’t easy, while on the retreat, it was a lot of work, at some point, I was tired and wanted to run away, it was overwhelming…The spiritual exercise made me know it was time because I didn’t want to do it without God.

“I didn’t have a phone with me that period, I will go up to the mountain top praying and in one of those times I got tired and started hearing voices and the one that was clear to me at the time was the one that told me to jump of the cliff in the middle of the night, I moved closer and closer to the cliff, I thought I was going to jump but there was something holding me back….I already stretched out my arms to jump, but I then felt a barricade which naturally wasn’t there…these were some of the encounters that made me know it was time.”

Chidinma is the founder of NMA care foundation, a non governmental organization set-up to cater for visually impaired children.

Other gospel songs released by her includes: Chukwu Oma, Ko S’Oba Bire, Jesus The Son of God, This Love, Jehovah Overdo, Lion and The Lamb.
