Star gospel singer, has spoken on a film she is producing, titled ‘The Weight’.
She is playing the lead character in the film which, she said, was inspired by the Holy Spirit.
She said in an interview: “I am producing and acting (in the movie). I played the role of a lady called Wuraola. On the inspiration behind the movie, whatever a child of God does must be inspired by the Holy Spirit. I felt God wanted me to shoot a Christian movie to win more souls to Christ because souls are perishing due to lack of knowledge. When God started giving me stories, I realised that it was a move for me to shoot a movie. The story is inspired by the Holy Spirit. He wants everbody to drop all their loads, so that he would give them rest.”
“Acting can never be my full-time career. It is just going to be once in a while. Music is my main career and that is the only thing I can do full time. Shooting a movie can’t stop my ministration. My music career is till Jesus comes.
“It was not stressful at all. As a matter of fact, it was awesome gathering music ministers together because they made up my cast. All they do is singing but I got to see them in another light.”

On her annual praise concert, she said, “So many things are going to be different about the ‘Praise the Almighty’ concert. This is the ninth year of praising God tirelessly and with full hearts of gratitude. I’m sure that for all that would attend, their lives would never remain the same.
“My husband and I don’t organise the concert to gain anything, other than for people to be blessed. It is a way of giving back to God; to thank Him for all that He has done. That is why it is free. My gain is that I praise God every year.
