Nigerian Women in Clergy President cum Prophetic Minstrel, Prophetess Nonnie Roberson has stated that a lot of humanitarian crisis can be solved just with the fusion of religion and entertainment.
Speaking with journalists on the sideline of the recent 1MillionManWalk against Cancer put together by the wife of Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Zainab S Bagudu, through her foundation, Medicaid Cancer Foundation in collaboration with the Nigerian Women in Clergy, the Prophetess avowed that a symbiotic relationship between religion and entertainment must always be maintained, stating that a lot of humanitarian crisis in the country can easily be tackled if the two are effectively used.
Responding to why she chose to become a musician almost at the peak of her religious career, she said, ” Both entertainment and religion are similar vehicles for expression. Sensitization against certain things, such as this campaign against Cancer will achieve better result with the fusion of the two. I can’t see any man or woman of God achieving the best result in his or her calling without the marriage of the two. That’s why we have choirs in churches.
Many learn and get inspired more through entertainment. I’m into music today because I want to reach out to more people that God wants me to touch for him. Through my latest single, many lives have been saved. I tell you, we have not started just yet. When God asks you to do certain things, you can’t just resist. It’s like when Samuel was called. I didn’t know what God wanted until I dropped the song. God has performed his work through the song, I must say.”
