Meaning “Father/God in heaven” in Igbo, this soul-stirring track blends heartfelt worship with contemporary soundscapes, offering a profound expression of gratitude and reverence to God.

Inspired by Psalm 113:3, “From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised,” “Obinigwe” reflects AkuGod’s personal journey of faith and his calling to inspire through music. With his soulful vocals and rich melodies, the song creates an atmosphere of hope and spiritual connection, perfect for personal devotion, church services, and gospel playlists. AkuGod shares, “Obinigwe is a testimony of God’s grace in my life, a sound that connects spirit to Spirit, and an anthem of hope for all.”

Hailing from Imo State, raised in a Christian home in Kano, and a graduate of Imo State University with a Master’s in Business Administration and Creative Arts from the University of South Wales, UK, AkuGod brings a unique voice to the Nigerian gospel scene. From his early days forming MEC Rhymes in secondary school to his evolving artistry, he combines deep spirituality with creative storytelling. The single has sparked early excitement, with thousands of streams on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Boomplay within hours, and fans on X praising its “anointed melody” and “uplifting spirit.”
