Nigerian gospel artist AkuGod has released a powerful new single titled “Obinigwe”, a soul-lifting track that blends heartfelt worship with rich, contemporary soundscapes. The song, whose title means ” “Father/God in heaven” in Igbo, is a deep expression of gratitude and reverence to God, reflecting the artist’s journey, faith, and calling.
Born Stephen Ejike Oriaku, AkuGod hails from Imo State but was born in Kano and raised in a Christian home as one of five siblings. From a young age, he has been a passionate lover of God and a firm believer in using music as a channel to inspire, uplift, and heal.
“Obinigwe is more than just a song. It’s a reflection of my personal relationship with God — a testimony of His grace and greatness in my life,” said AkuGod. “It’s a sound that connects spirit to Spirit, and I hope it becomes an anthem of hope for many.”
AkuGod’s journey into music began during his early teens in secondary school, where he formed a group called MEC Rhymes with friends Marcus and Christopher. Over the years, his musical influences evolved, but one thing remained constant — his love for soulful, inspiring music that speaks to the heart and spirit.
A graduate of Imo State University, Owerri and a Master degree holder in business administration and creative arts (University Of South Wales) United Kingdom – AkuGodcontinues to grow as a unique voice in the Nigerian gospel scene, combining his deep-rooted spirituality with creative storytelling and melodic excellence. His message is clear: to be a new breed, a role model, and an inspiration to many through his music.
