Amaka
Okwuoha, best known as Chioma Jesus, is one of the true ambassadors of proper
Nigerian gospel music. Her music and lyrics are not only well known in this
country but in many African states as well.
Amaka
was born in the poor district of Lagos but the absence of wealth didn’t deter
her from developing her talent. At the age of 9, she was already singing in her
local church choir. Her Pastor encouraged her to develop her talent and helped
in enrolling her in the College of Music.
The
first song released by this music legend was written in Yoruba although
she had been learning English which would increase her opportunities. She came
into prominence after being nominated for a category in the Delta Yadah Award
in 2010. She did not win then, but she did win both in 2011 and
2012. Delta Yadah is an annual concert which takes place in Asaba, Delta
State. It features seasoned, anointed and professional gospel music ministers
who are proudly some of Nigeria’s finest.
Her
most popular song is “Praise” released in 2011 which made it to the top of the
Nigerian gospel charts. Amaka has collaborated with other Gospel Artistes like
Samsong and several others. Come and be blessed as she minsters life at the Achievers' International Conference.
