Nigerian gospel singer Chidinma Ekile has opened up about a deeply personal spiritual journey marked by solitude, fasting, and prayer.
The former Project Fame winner revealed that she spent 40 days in isolation, seeking divine direction and undergoing intense spiritual experiences. She described the period as one of emotional upheaval, fervent prayer, and profound internal struggle.
Chidinma disclosed that she spent her nights outdoors, expressing herself to God through music and prayer. She characterised the experience as intensely personal and noted that it brought an unprecedented awareness of God’s presence.
During her time on the mountain, the singer recounted a particularly harrowing episode in which she felt spiritually vulnerable and was confronted by a dark force.
She described standing at the edge of a cliff, urged by a compelling voice to jump. However, she said an invisible force intervened and blocked her path, ultimately preventing what could have been a fatal act.
“It was more like I was in a theatre and God performed surgery on me and He shredded me. I have seen it all, and material things don’t move me anymore.
“The enemy came to me to take me out of there before my time. The devil took me to the top of a cliff at night where everywhere was dark. And right there, He asked me to jump. The voice was so strong.
“When I was about to jump, I noticed that I was barricaded and It was impossible to jump. Something was just there,” she said.
Chidinma’s testimony has since stirred reactions among her followers, many of whom praised her candour and spiritual resilience.
