Nigerian singer Chidinma Ekile, who recently turned gospel artist, has revealed that she was born blind but miraculously gained her sight afterwards.
In a YouTube video, the artist discussed her early years and how her parents did everything possible to get her to see, but to no avail.
Eventually, her mother, a prayer warrior, began fasting and praying for her, and after some time, Chidinma started to see. The singer’s mother had made a deal with God to give her back to Him if He could help her solve the problem.
“I was born blind actually, I didn’t open my eyes at all, and that became a challenge, my parents tried all that they could to get me to see, all proved abortive.
“We had to resort to God, here is my mum, being a prayer warrior; she just started praying all of a sudden, started fasting from nowhere. These were things my parents were never used to but they had to because of the situation. And eventually, I started to see.
“I remember that my mum, according to her, had promised to give me back to God, if God could help her solve that problem. Without my knowledge, my mum made a deal with God.”
Chidinma, who is popularly known for her hit song “Kedike,” recently announced her decision to switch to gospel music and has released her first gospel single titled “Jehovah Overdo.”
