I am a child of God – Efya

Ghanaian musician Efya Nokturnal openly declared her identity as a child of God in a recent interview with Berla Mundi on TV3’s The Day Show.

Despite being known as a secular artist, she highlighted that it does not prevent her from also being a gospel artiste. Efya further mentioned that she holds the record for being the most featured female artiste in the country.

During the interview, Efya shared her experience of being questioned about collaborating with a gospel artiste. She expressed her frustration, saying, “I did a song with the gospel artist, and they came at me and her, asking why she would collaborate with a secular artist like me. This is what I’m talking about. What’s that about? Can I not do gospel music? Are we serious? I am a Child of God. What are you saying? I have the power in me. I went to Bible School. You can’t Bible more than me.”

Efya emphasised that Ghanaians often associate the term “secular” with being devilish and advised people to stop labelling it as such. She expressed her disappointment that people tend to focus on the negative aspects rather than recognizing the achievements she has made in the music industry.

Efya highlighted that she holds the distinction of being the first female artist to break a record and has received numerous awards, yet people overlook these accomplishments. She urged Ghanaians to shift their attention towards positive opinions.
