Faith Over Fame: Gaise Baba Speaks
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Nigerian music scene is vibrant, loud, and ever-expanding. But not many people see the silent tug-of-war going on behind the spotlight, the struggle for purpose, depth, and originality. That’s where gospel artiste Akinade Ibuoye, better known as Gaise Baba, steps in with a refreshing perspective.

In a recent interview on Channels TV’s The Morning Brief, Gaise Baba opened up about music, faith, personal alignment, and why the industry  especially gospel music  is still “struggling for newness.”

The Music Industry Is Still Finding Its Feet

While Nigerian music, especially Afrobeats, is now playing on the world stage, Gaise Baba believes the industry is still evolving. It’s not yet where it should be in terms of spiritual depth and intentional creativity. He says:

“The music industry is still struggling for newness.”

This might sound surprising coming from someone who has made waves with songs like No Turning Back, but for Gaise, music isn’t just about rhythm or virality it’s about impact.

‘No Turning Back’ — A Song of Surrender

Gaise Baba’s viral track No Turning Back didn’t just drop from the sky. It came from a place of deep surrender and internal processing. He describes the night of November 11–12, 2022, as a turning point — an outward affirmation of a long journey in his “inner place.”

According to him, what happened that night was more than just music. It was spiritual alignment, and it was proof that his songs weren’t just sounds; they were seeds, seeds of faith, seeds of conviction, and seeds of transformation.

When Paths Cross on Purpose: Nathaniel Bassey

One of the most remarkable moments in Gaise Baba’s journey was his encounter with fellow gospel minister, Nathaniel Bassey. For many, it might seem like coincidence. For him, it was a divine connection.

“For our path to have aligned at that moment — it was not random,” he said.

These moments matter in gospel ministry. Unlike the secular scene that thrives on noise and trends, gospel music depends heavily on spiritual timing and divine collaborations. When two carriers of fire meet, the result is never ordinary.

It’s Not the Sound, It’s the Depth

When asked about the style of his music and how people often try to box gospel artistes into genres, Gaise Baba was quick to correct the narrative.

“It is not the genre; depth is depth.”

This simple but powerful statement is a reminder that it’s not about whether a gospel song sounds like a pop song, a reggae tune, or a worship chant. What matters is the message, the conviction, and the power it carries. Gospel music isn’t about form, it’s about essence.

So, Where Is Gospel Music Headed?

Gaise Baba’s honesty shines a spotlight on an important question, where exactly is gospel music in Nigeria going?

Yes, we have stars. Yes, we have concerts. Yes, we trend on TikTok. But do we have depth across the board? Are we creating room for spiritual growth, not just music consumption?

It’s time to ask ourselves hard questions:

  • Are we feeding people’s spirits, or just entertaining them?
  • Are our songs born in prayer rooms or PR rooms?
  • Are we building a legacy of gospel truth or just looking for trends?

A Message to Gospel Creatives

Gaise Baba’s story is a gentle wake-up call. We need more sincerity, more soul, and more surrender in gospel music. It’s not just about chasing hits — it’s about changing hearts.

To every gospel artiste, worship leader, or spiritual creative out there: don’t lose your voice trying to sound like everyone else. The industry may be struggling for newness, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Go deep. Stay true. Let your sound carry substance.

Final Thoughts: Seeds in the Spirit

Gaise Baba reminded us that real impact doesn’t start with studio time. It starts with spiritual alignment. Music is not just for the ears, it’s for the heart, and for those who are willing to listen deeply, the Nigerian gospel scene still has much to say.

And as Gaise Baba would say: “No Turning Back.”
