Minister Igwe ready with 'This Is Not English' album

Nigerian gospel artiste based in Ghana, Minister Igwe, is set to launch his maiden eighth –track album, This is Not English, on Saturday, May 17, at the National Theatre.

Musicians who will be supporting the album launch include Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Francis Amo, Max Praise, Akesse Bempong, Naa Mercy among others.

Songs on the album recorded by Francis Kweku Osei is made up of four praise songs, three worship ones and an Afro pop song.  Some of the songs are  Mighty God, Ife, Mose O logo, God Dey Bless Me and This Is Not English.

According to Minister Igwe, real name, Olatunbosun Simeon Sehun Igwe, he decided to title the album This Is Not English because certain things cannot be explained by human beings.

“It is not normal for Joseph who was a prisoner to become a president, Jesus feeding a congregation with five loaves of bread and two fish is abnormal. 

“ These and other wonders of God made me call my album, This Is Not English because He cannot be understood in plain English language,” Minister Igwe told Showbiz in an interview last Monday.

Minister Igwe who spent most of his life in Nigeria but moved to Ghana about five years ago said he chose to ply his trade here because he believes his music will be accepted here more than in Nigeria.

He explained that although Nigeria has a bigger market, he was not very bothered with the material gains but rather  to make the word of God attractive to Ghanaians.

Minister Igwe said he was grateful to Bernard Nelson Eshun of Revival Ministry for the support he has given him throughout his music career.

The album explores the many blessings God has in store for his children on a rendition of the most popular God Dey Bless by Cwesi Oteng. On Ife, Minister Igwe talks about the unconditional love of God that does not discriminate irrespective of one’s sins.
