#TheExperienceReport: The mainstream discovers Tope Alabi again

The breakout star of yesterday’s event (okay, apart from Travis Greene that has won the hearts of everyone across the Nigerian church)? Tope Alabi. Of course those who have been Pentecostals a long time know that she is a matron of worship – and far and beyond ‘Ore ti o common’. But she has been... Read More

#TheExperienceReport: Forget o, Yemi Osinbajo is still very popular

At least among Christians. When his name was mentioned yesterday and his face (and that of his utterly ravishing wife) came on the screens, the whole venue was electrified. And it wasn’t just popularity, it was genuine warmth. I asked my companion, a critic of this administration: “But you believe the government is failing, and... Read More

#TheExperienceReport: What Nigerian acts can learn from the foreign acts

When veteran worshippers, Don Moen, Donnie McClurkin, Cece Winans came up to lead worship yesterday, they understood a crucial need: we were here to worship, together. We wanted to sing, we wanted to dance, we wanted to be part of a collective spiritual experience. It wasn’t really a concert – the way that Tim Godfrey’s... Read More

#TheExperienceReport: Cow-dung at Gate C & 4 other things that should have been done better

All in the spirit of improvement, because we know the one thing Pastor Paul Adefarasin is passionate about is excellence. A few things were a letdown, and once we have finished binding and casting the demons that causes such gaps, would be great to see measures to ensure we do much better in the next... Read More

#TheExperienceReport: Wait, no Catholics allowed?

Something niggles the mind from The Experience yesterday. If you pay close attention to the ministry and vision of Pastor Paul Adefarasin, you know it’s centered on a unified inter-denominational church, that comes together for worship, to influence the culture and to hack Nigeria’s leadership. So yesterday on stage, he did make the point, by... Read More

#TheExperienceReport: Pastor Paul’s message yesterday? Christians have to join politics – but we have questions

You know we love Pastor Paul Adefarasin. And if we didn’t love him before, the annual gift of The Experience completely sealed it. But let’s unpack his message at the event yesterday – it was remarkable for its disciplined focus on Christians influencing the world, and leaving the safety of spiritual spaces. Pastor Paul said...

#TheExperienceReport: We have a simple question for female fans of Micah Stampley

We have a simple question for all these young women of God who scream like a thousand groupies when (the remarkable) Micah Stampley steps on stage to worship God. Are you shouting for God, or are you shouting for this irrevocably fine young man? Answer with the fear of God.

#TheExperienceReport: The miracle of the Midnight Crew

The guys at the Midnight Crew are a modern miracle to be honest, and not just by their energetic heaven-must-come-down performances each year at The Experience, where they have become a must-get. It’s because of the way the group has evolved. Each of them has built a solo career: Pat, Odun, Micheal and Gbenga. Yet... Read More

#CelebAtChurch: Yemi Osinbajo, Don Jazzy, Toke Makinwa and others were at The Experience yesterday

It just ended. With the closing performance by the incredible Tope Alabi, and closing prayers by Reverend Victor Adeyemi. And what a glorious 12 hours! The Tafawa Balewa Square was full to capacity, so choked we were truly afraid someone was going to faint from the humidity and the standing-square-only crowd. Then there were the... Read More

The Church Blog: But why is Nathaniel Bassey not ministering at The Experience?

It suddenly hit us: Nathaniel Bassey is not ministering at The Experience. You know how you mind plays and writes in the names of people you just naturally expect when they are actually not mentioned. So, missing this year are Sonnie Badu and Bassey. We’re a bit sad. Bassey has become almost iconography for the... Read More

The Church Blog: Forget OLIC, Mavin Concert and everything, The Experience is ACTUALLY Nigeria’s BIGGEST music event

Church events get no respect – and they should. No, really. Plenty of the organic buzz goes to plenty other concerts as the biggest Nigeria has seen. Centuries ago, it was Rhythm Unplugged. These days its OLIC, or the Mavin Concert, over whatever it is Wizkid is doing at the end of the month that... Read More
