Nostalgic Sunday: Among the Nigerian gospel recordings that emerged in the early 2000s was Gbenga Adenuga’s “Awimayehun,” released in 2001. This live performance at the Conference Centre of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, captures the musician delivering the Yoruba worship song accompanied by a full band and backing vocalists. . “Awimayehun” appeared on Eledumare Vol. 3 (2001), a gospel music project credited to Dehumo Bickersteth, featuring Gbenga Adenuga alongside other gospel performers. . Rooted in the message of Isaiah 55:10–11, “Awimayehun” speaks of God’s faithfulness and the certainty of His word. Its Yoruba title describes the One whose spoken word never fails. . Adenuga’s connection to Obafemi Awolowo University goes beyond this performance. In a July 2015 interview with The Nation, he recalled growing up within the university community, where singing was an important part of his family life. He also spoke about Songs of Solomon, a concert series he organised on campus, reflecting on how those experiences contributed to his development as a professional musician. . That connection gives this performance at Ile-Ife an additional layer of history, offering a look at an earlier chapter of Adenuga’s gospel music career through its live instrumentation, vocal harmonies and extended worship arrangements. .
