If you grew up in a Christian household, we’re certain you heard these songs more times than you cared to. These songs were an essential part of your Sunday morning worship sessions or Saturday morning cleaning rituals.
1. Igwe – Midnight Crew
We’re sure you danced to this song during choreography sef.
2. Chinwe Ike – Resonance
This song was so fresh and different when it was released. A bop.
3. Every album Tope Alabi ever released
If you had a Yoruba mum, we’re sure you listened to Tope Alabi songs all the time. Even if you don’t remember all her songs, you definitely know this one.
4. Every Sola Allyson album ever released
Ife Bi Eji Owuro isn’t particularly a “Christian” song, but it still counts.
5. Gbanari ikpe chukwu – Bro Israel Anyanele
6. Trading my sorrows – Women Of Faith
Did you really grow up in a Christian household if you didn’t trade your sorrows? If you dig deep into your brain, we’re sure you can still remember the choreography you did to this song. “Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord”
7. Shackles – Mary Mary
Between children’s church teachers and primary school music teachers, we don’t know who was more determined to get those shackles off our feet so we could dance.

“Many, many, many, people, listened to a lot of Ayefele songs. And you were one of them.
9. Nkem Ka Nma – Paul Nwokocha
