‘I Never Said I Was Going To Commit Suicide,’ Busola Oke Clears Air by Omihanifa(op): 8:25am On Feb 27
Nigerian gospel singer Busola Oke, also known as Eleyele, has responded to reports claiming she considered taking her own life.

Tribune online reports that the gospel singer broke down in tears during a live Instagram session where she spoke about her struggles in the music industry.

During a conversation on the Talk To B Podcast, she clarified that her recent live video was driven by frustration and emotional stress, not an intention to harm herself.

“No, I never said I was going to commit suicide. So, I think it was a misconception, a misinterpretation. I was on live, actually, I was really frustrated, more frustrated. I just felt like, I was feeling like, I was feeling really strange.

Oke said she felt lonely and exhausted at the time, which pushed her to go live and seek reassurance from friends and followers.

“I was feeling very lonely, as if I had nobody. There was nobody around me. I was just feeling exhausted. So, I just went to live.”

She explained that the session was meant to connect with people who cared about her, not to reveal her struggles publicly.

“And I said, I was saying, is there anybody out there that cares about me? I just want to see people that loves me. And I started talking to my friends. They started reaching out. I said, please share this video and tag. Just show me you love me. I’m here.
[/b]
These people started talking to me. I’m so glad they’re here for you and all that. They started sharing the video. And all of a sudden, I don’t know what, somebody said. I never planned to expose myself. I’ve always been someone that doesn’t like to talk.”

She also shared that she has faced personal challenges since 2020 but chose to remain silent to avoid public sympathy.

[b]“Someone that doesn’t like to expose herself. I’ve been going through days. I’ve been going through so much since 2020.”
[/b]
According to her, she prefers natural relationships and does not want to be treated as an object of pity or charity.

[b]“I’ve kept quiet for so long. Because I don’t want, I don’t like people treating me as a pity party. I want people to be natural around me. I don’t like people treating me as a subject of a charity or something. That’s why I don’t want to go out. I don’t want to tell people my story. So, that was why I kept quiet for this long.” She said.

As in, pretend to be in need, try contacting those you feel are doing better, then you start hearing excuses, so many people are going through a lot

If you are a true gospel singer and you are going through life challenges which is normal, your best bet is to call on the God you are worshiping and praising through your songs.

Unless you don’t know or believe or trust The God you are singing about.

All these social media tears, talks and cries is telling us another thing.

May God make it easy for us all..

Relationship with God doesn't mean she shouldn't need money or improve her financial life.

Na God go pay house rent and feed her ??

They singing for business sake, and many of them got the momentum as a choir, almost all of them involved in amorous relationships even more than worldly singers.


Tope Alabi, Omije Ojumi, Lanre Teriba are enough for people to think twice about these gospel singers!

Let's talk about reality ..

Singing for business sake or not are u not going to eat and pay rent??

Only if she has another job but if not then why can't she rely on her talent to eat and fee?
Re: ‘I Never Said I Was Going To Commit Suicide,’ Busola Oke Clears Air by Osanoghodua1: 9:58am On Feb 27
Someone singing for God and not for fame shouldn't be bothered about popularity. Don't imitate others. Just stay with God that's enough.

That's not what I replied, go back to comment I replied and stop shifting argument.

The guy said, he doesn't even know if gospel singers singing for God or business, if they singing for God, it is supposed to be manifesting in their personal life.

Meanwhile, back to your questions....when they were at top, in which hundred of millions of naira, entering accounts. What did they do to diversify their business for them to have things to fall back on, when they fade out?

Many of them, they will go for expensive house rent, big cars, sleeping with different women, expensive clothes.


This is not only happening to artists, also actors and others celebrities.

You don't know the power/ability of God that's why you wrote this.

However having a solid relationship with God doesn't exempt you from trials but God no dey disappoint last last.

Well put. You captured everything.

It's solely business. They have talent to sing and write good lyrics which are melodious Nothing like God factor. Churches invite them to concert to draw crowds, not to inspire.

Religion is truly the opium of the masses.
