Nigerian singer, Chidozie Godsfavour Ugochinyere, popularly known as Fave, has raised an alarm over an alleged directive for artistes not to organise shows in Nigeria during the Islamic Ramadan period.
The Baby Riddim crooner lamented that her plan of organising a show in Nigeria on her birthday March 13, was encountering setbacks as it falls on the Ramadan period, which music concerts are now allegedly prohibited in the period.
On her X handle, she wrote, “So I was tryna do a show in Nigeria on my birthday this year but they’re telling me shows aren’t allowed during Ramadan? I’m a little confused.”
In another post, the singer revealed that promoters have been rejecting her proposed show back-to-back because it falls on the Ramadan.
She argued that Ramadan shouldn’t be affecting her or her business, stressing that she is a Christian and never heard about Ramadan practices until her late teens.
She wrote, “I started this year wanting to do my first show in Nigeria on my birthday as an independent artiste and back to back, promoters kept sending word to my team saying the same thing.
“I grew up in the south and never heard of Ramadan practices till I was in my late teens. I respect all religions. But I’m Christian and I really want to do this on my birthday so if you’re reading this and are open to organize, I’d be so happy.”
