POPULAR OGUN CHRISTIAN GOSPEL/JUJU ARTISTE, ALAYO MELODY SINGER, SET TO STAGE 3rd ANNUAL RAMADAN LECTURE


This may sound very antithetical. A Christian Gospel/ Juju artiste organizing Muslim Ramadan Lecture? But that is the reality popular Ogun State based Gospel/Juju artiste, Akinola Ayoola Michael better known as Alayo Melody Singer is set to achieve in Abeokuta. And wait for this: it is not going to be his first time of single-handedly organizing Ramadan Lecture for Muslim populace in the Rock City as 2016 edition would be the 3rd in his annual Ramadan Lecture series.

According to a very reliable piece of information reaching Saheed Ojubanire Online, the theme for this year’s edition is: “Unity In Religion Peace of The Nation” on which lectures would be delivered by two respected Islamic clerics in the persons of Sheikh Abdul Lateef Ademoye Yar Sataar as Spiritual Father and Lecturer 1 and Sheikh Jamiu Tiamiyu (Iyanuolorun) as Guest Lecturer 2, at Alayo Chamber, Lafiagi Elega, Abeokuta, on July 4th, starting by 3pm prompt.

Meanwhile, the event is not going to be about just lectures as top Islamic artistes are also lined up to entertain attendees at regular intervals and that include: Dr. Abdul-Kabir Bukola Alayande (Ere Asalatu), the winner of Face of Islamic Music, Male, at IMAN Awards 2016, Alhaji Saheed (Omotayenfe Atipoto), Alhaji Ismaheel Aderemi TK (Alfa Mi Ni) whose chat bursting album “Khedemo” got a nomination for Islamic Music Album of the Year at IMAN Awards 2016, Hajia Jemila (Omo Sheu), Alhaji Jamiu Jamaika (Adaradenu), Hajia Saidat (Osioyemi), Seun Papa and Omo Alhaja.

And if what happened at the 2015 edition of the annual Ramadan Lecture series is anything to go by, there would also be provisions for everyone attending the lecture to break their fast on the bill of thier Christian host of the Celestial denomination. And that goes to show that Alayo Melody Singer who is fond of infusing Islamic lyrics into his melodious songs when he is on stage to satisfy his teeming Muslim fans is not just an artiste but a musical Ambassador of peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians in his environment.
