Excerpts below:
You used to do sound track of movies?
Why did you stop?
I didn’t stop because it is secular. I
don’t always have the time to watch the movies before I do the sound
track. I just discovered that I was being given all kinds of movies. I
would just be told the title and a little synopsis of the movie and I
would do the sound track. Then when I do the sound track, it would be
different from what the movie is talking about. I have now told
producers that I have to watch the movie before I do the sound track.
What it means is that I would be forced to reduce the number of movies I
compose the sound track. My sound track should not be different from
what I preach for. I can’t compose sound track for movies that the major
story line is on herbalists. I can’t praise herbalists. I will be a
rebellious child.
Your husband has been supportive; he is even your manager…
He is no longer my manager. I have a new
manager. He is the marketer now. He is my boyfriend and the father of my
children. He is the small boy in the house that must eat first even if
no other person has eaten.
But most men don’t want their wives to be in the spotlight, how come he supports you like this?
I just thank God for his life. You can
imagine, when we go for programmes, I would be given a seat in the front
row while my husband would be given a seat at the back. Imagine! I
would always tell him to come and sit in front so I can go to the back
but he would never agree. He would ask me if he was Tope Alabi. God has
been guiding us. How would I have managed without a husband like this?
Where did you meet him?
I met him in the studio. He was a studio
rat. He worked anywhere in the studio. He never went out of the studio.
He was such a tiny man when we met. But see him now, I have packaged
him. He has also packaged me as well. I am more beautiful now. We met 19
years ago. We got married five years after.
The issue you had with the late Pastor Ajanaku,
did you ever make up before he died?
On that issue, I would rather say no
comment. When God is working in your life, anything can happen along the
line. The Israelites faced turbulence and eventually got out of it. We
need people who are spirit-filled to just fold their arms and watch what
God will do.
Some people say you are happy he is no more…
God doesn’t like anybody who rejoices
over a friend or enemy’s death. I cannot be an enemy of what God
created. I can only be an enemy of God’s enemy. If you don’t like God,
certainly, I will not like you. But I still say no comment on that
issue.
Does it mean you will not tell us what really caused the problem between you two?
No comment. I just want people to say
what they want to say. You are free. Your heart is not in my heart.
People can speculate. People can feel whatever they want to feel.
But we learnt he anointed another singer as his spiritual child and it got you so upset…
I wasn’t there. I don’t know. So if I
wasn’t there, how would I now ‘put mouth’ in something I don’t know
about? I can’t say what I don’t know.
But did you feel bad that they said he had replaced you, even if you weren’t there, you must have heard it?
I cannot feel bad. I didn’t feel bad. I
can bring somebody today and I decide to bring that person up. Anybody
is free to do whatever he/she feels like doing.
We learnt you also stopped attending his church…
Actually, I was never a member of his
church but people don’t know this. I am just a woman who loves to help
ministries. I go to the church and I give money, not small money. I can
work for six months and I take my tithe to him just to bless his
ministry. I do that in other ministries. I can minister in churches
without collecting money. I know what I have passed through. I know
where I am coming from. I want to bless God and thank Him. The first day
I ministered in his church, he gave me money but I didn’t collect it. I
never collected money from him in my life, but I have donated millions
to his church and so many other churches. I have so many people living
in my house that I don’t even know their parents; and I just help them. I
pay their fees. My husband helps the widows, we donate to orphanages.
We just want to help.
