Chidinma Ekile, one of Nigeria’s most talented
pop stars took music to another level when she
featured her mum, Mrs Martha Ekile, in a new
song dedicated to her. The song ‘Martha’ had
the mum doing the intro while Chidinma picked
it up from there.

However the petite singer couldn’t hide her
excitement over the whole thing as she took to
her Instagram page to express her feelings: “The
song ‘Martha’ is dedicated to my mother, Mrs
Martha Ekile. I decided to show my fans a
different side to Chidinma, a side never revealed
to so many, a side I will forever remain grateful
and indebted to Father Lord for his
miraculous interventions and guidance in my
life,” she wrote.
“I was conceived and certified totally blind at
birth. For fifteen nights this woman held me in
her hands and wept uncontrollably, with my
father calling on God to bless the newly born,
Chidinma with sight. On the sixteenth day I
opened my eyes and they have been opened ever
since.
I was born a very fragile baby with some health
conditions. Her prayers took it all away. Life is
such a wonderful and colourful piece of art and
it must feel like hell not to envision God’s
creation” she added.
