Multiple award-winning gospel artist and songwriter, Sinach has become the first African and arguably the first black person to rank at number one on the Christian Songwriters’ category of the USA Billboard, for her song ‘Way Maker’.

 

 

The songwriter, according to the data released in May, has dominated the chart for the past seven weeks. globally, various versions of the song have been streamed over 250 million times life-to-date on YouTube. On Spotify, top versions of the song now account for over 54 million streams life-to-date.

 

“In short Sinach has accumulated the most points out of any other Christian market songwriter for the past seven weeks.  My analysis is that the large number of recorded versions of the song Waymaker are adding up to this accomplishment and acknowledgment.  The other songwriters on this list have dozens of different songs recorded by other artists that are comprising their “points total,” said Les Moir,  A&R Ambassador at Integrity Music Europe.

 

At 148 million views, the original video of ‘Way Maker’ is currently the third most-streamed song in the world on YouTube. She was rated by Pulse.ng as the Female Artist of the Decade, Female Gospel Artist of the Decade and also listed in the top 10 Artist of the Decade.

 

Since the song was released on 30 December 2015, ‘Way Maker’ has been covered by a number of globally acclaimed Christian music artists such as Michael W. Smith, Leeland; Christafari; Passion Worship Bank; Maranda Curtis; and Bethel Music to mention a few.

 

Two covers of ‘Way Maker’ by Michael W. Smith and Leeland are featured in the top 10 Hot Christian Songs chart. According to Billboard, this is the first time in the history of the Hot Christian songs that two versions of the same song have resided simultaneously in the top 10. Leeland’s version is currently ninth on the chart, while Michael W. Smith’s version is in third position.

 

Speaking on the ranking, Osinachi Joseph also known as Sinach, said, “It’s truly exciting to know from Nigeria, we are reaching far and dominating in the West. It basically chronicles what God can do when you yield to Him. Just thinking of it is really humbling and to know it’s a song of hope, faith in God, and trusting in Him that has brought us thus far. I’m sure you’ve seen the videos of ‘Way Maker’ being sung in many hospitals, car parks, garages – everywhere this period! God has used it to strengthen many around the world, not to give up, but believe that He is the rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. So I’m truly happy, excited, and glad Jesus is glorified once more.”

 

A senior worship leader at Loveworld Incorporated, Sinach has an overflowing catalogue of 9 studio albums with a very special Worship EP in the works. Her unrecorded songs but written, are in thousands.

 

While ‘Way Maker’ is her first song to gain global critical acclaim and peak on the Billboard, she says her being in the limelight was always a given so long as Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, President of Loveworld Incorporated was organising record breaking programs going back into the 90s.

 

Prior to ‘Way Maker’, songs like ‘Holy, Are you Lord’, ‘Stand Amazed’, ‘Simply Devoted’, ‘Rejoice’, and many more had become an anthem in many Christian gatherings around the world.

 

“Way Maker’s rise and rise has been truly phenomenal and divine and it has consolidated a new pedestal for me,” she said.

 

The song was inspired by her unwavering faith in God and the Knowledge that He is who He says he is.

 

She recently released ‘All Things Are Ready’ and was featured in a worship single by Ada Ehi titled, ‘Fix My Eyes on You’.

 

“Firstly, you have to be a Christian; born again really. Also, study the Word of God and go to Church, and have a genuine fellowship with God. You sing the word of God, and if you are not full of it, how would you be inspired to write? If you don’t fellowship with Him, how would He inspire your songs to minister to His people?” she said.

“Already, 2,000 refugees from Cameroon have arrived Banki, a border town with Cameroon. We’re discussing with the Nigerian Refugee Commission and Nigerian

The problem of Nigeria is failure of the political class and very F00LISH CITIZENS

Our Politicians fan the usual tribal card during Election and it always work and they get elected into office . Nigeria political structure is the true reflection of the F00LISH CITIZENS who elect such people and get manipulated by tribal cards of this politicians

The political federal power is firmly in the hand of Northern Politician yet their people are ignored and suffer the most when they get into power only a few inner circle benefit

Igbos kill fellow igbos
Hausa kill fellow hausas
Yoruba kill and mine the skulls of Fellow Yoruba's
Anambra community fighting and killing Each other over land

Same with Niger Delta people killing each other


Will all this change in Biafara? Oduduwa ? Arewa ? Niger delta Republican ? Middle Belt Republic ?
Will igbos stop killing Igbos ?
Yoruba stop killing Yoruba's ?
Hausa stop killing Hausas ?
Niger Deltans stop killing Niger Deltans ?

Nothing will change only a new set of tribal warlords will emerge to get a shot at power , wealth and the circle continue


I strongly believe in a Strong Nigeria but i have no hope of a better Nigeria because only God can cure us of our STUP1DITY we are as bad as the Politician we elect into office purely based on tribal card

dulux07:
A better Nigeria is a Nigeria free from its present mentality and greed. An average Nigerian is egoistic and greedy, not different from the politicians, hence we keep changing leaders but same results, even the young leaders, the desmond elliot, shina peller, yaya bello....what impact have they

dulux07:
The problem with Nigeria isn't the leaders but the people, i.e their mentality. A typical example is the poster above me.

Alaska90:
Which fact are you talking about?

That the present Oba of Lagos who is a direct descendant of Oba Ologunkutere (1780 - 1806) who is a child of an Ijesha man ( osun state)

So Lagos state is your tribe land right?

babaolofin:
When did Oba says Lagos is not Oodua Land? The present Oba of Lagos merely spoke of the the throne. No King of Lagos has ever said that . The land of Lagos belongs to the Idejos who are the grandchildren of OluIwa. This is known to the Aworis. There is a little difference between the Ibos and Binis.

Throwback:
Above is the classic case of what I have opined several times.

Bode George and his group are protesting against fellow Lagos politicians, but a typical clansman with victim mentality has made the protest a matter of "Igbo envy".

Must these clowns find relevance in every matter that does not concern them, while posing as the victim of the matter?

Please, what is the correlation between the topic and the insecurities of the Igbos?

The clown who is talking about envy might even be a gala hawker who daily retires to his 1room in Ajegunle.

Staphylococcus:


Money first!

The case of Biafra would be like Sudan. The whole world thought North Sudan was the problem. After break-up, South Sudan became a war zone

Nigeria got her wings crippled because of corruption......


Nigeria is sick!!

Ayekotoo:
So only Igbo actors are the nollywood actors? Do you even know how nollywood came about? Etomi Adesua is not nollywood actress but biniwood according to your logic?

gwafaeziokwu:
They ran to establish Yoruba wood thinking it's by muscle, today they all want to be part of the Nollywood success story. We will not discriminate against them afterall the field is big enough for all players. What we do not want is revisionism and lies. Give honour to whom honour is due simple.

LegendHero:
This is rubbish!

So Yoruba movies that has been in existence since the days of Ogunde doesn't count? When did the Igbo started telling Igbo stories?

You guys are boring me with all these roforofo talks!

Taye4j:
Ayirada, lol. I'm sure you are one of those people who would read the headline without reading the body. How you went to school is still a mystery.
I'm sure you were placed on probation.

Kindly go back and read - make sure you also understand. Then come back and say something sensible.

LegendHero:
Most of the movies are English produced. so what the bleep are you talking about?

Taye4j:
Why don't you write your own history? Everybody knows anything that does not favour you guys is deemed fake by the Lagos - Ibadan news.

Thank God it's not a Yoruba man that wrote the history of Nollywoood. If you don't like it, kindly find the nearest power line and hug it, better still if you are in Lagos, kindly look for the Lagoon and ..................jump.

LegendHero:
This is the list of the 50 highest grossing Nollywood movies of all time.

Can you clearly see the Yorubas still dominate?

Fame of Mr. Ibru you say? Is Ramsey Noah not famous? Is Desmond Elliot not famous? Is Olu Jacob not famous?

Fame is relative, we are talking about the entrepreneurial aspect of Nollywood and Yorubas are clearly modifying Nolywood and making it more viable. It’s about innovation and the Yorubas clearly understood the game.
