Dele Blacko Set to Uplift Souls with Upcoming EP Ojumo Ire

Published

on

Veteran gospel juju maestro Dele Ajayi, popularly known as Dele Blacko, is gearing up to release his much-anticipated EP Ojumo Ire — a project that promises to be a soulful blend of rhythm, faith, and celebration. The new body of work will feature collaborations with renowned Nigerian gospel powerhouses Dare Melody and Segun Ajidara, marking yet another milestone in Blacko’s illustrious 35-year career.

Born in Iyin Ekiti, Ekiti State and raised in Lagos, Blacko’s journey into music was shaped early in life. Coming from a family of six, he discovered his calling in the church, leading choirs and producing music from as young as 14. His influences read like a hall of fame of African music legends — from King Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey to Fela Kuti and Haruna Ishola.

“Music is a natural gift from God to me,” Blacko says. “Growing up in church taught me discipline and the power of music to touch hearts. That’s why I’ve stayed true to my calling.”

After years of living and working in Canada, where he further expanded his craft, Blacko made the decision to return to Nigeria, a move he describes as divinely inspired. “There’s no place like home. My genre has a wider audience here, and I believe God’s purpose for me abroad was fulfilled. Since returning, I’ve been more active musically and spiritually.”

As choirmaster of the popular Celestial Church (KOK Parish) and an active performer, Blacko has mastered the art of balancing ministry and a demanding music career. His discography includes the 7-track album Blackomania and the 10-track project Hymnal According to Dele Blacko, both of which have been praised for their depth and spiritual resonance.

Now, with Ojumo Ire, Blacko aims to deliver an uplifting experience that blends the rich textures of juju with gospel’s soul-stirring power. The EP’s visuals are already in motion, with location shoots recently wrapped for one of the standout tracks.

“I want to put out music that will still reign long after I’m gone,” Blacko reflects. “My greatest joy is seeing people smile, dance, and feel blessed through my songs.”

From sharing the stage with King Sunny Ade to leading worship that unites congregations, Dele Blacko continues to bridge the sacred and the celebratory. With Ojumo Ire on the horizon, gospel juju lovers can expect nothing short of a masterpiece that uplifts, inspires, and gets the feet moving.

The Senator representing Delta North senatorial district at the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has confirmed the viral medical reports in which his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, tested positive for cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, morphine, opiates and other hard drugs.

Naija News recalls that the medical report issued by Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja and signed by its Managing Director/Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Adekunle Adesina, revealed that the movie star has been battling severe substance abuse and has been undergoing a detoxification program  from September 9 to October 15, 2025.

The medical report stated that the hospital’s psychological emergency unit was called to Nwoko’s residence on September 23, when Regina had reportedly not slept for 48 hours and was visibly aggressive.

The report emphasized that Regina presented with verbal aggression, anger, agitation, and incongruent affect, with her mood described as “elated and evasive.”

The hospital also outlined several challenges encountered during the detox process, stressing that the thespian had made little progress in substance withdrawal because she “still has access to psychoactive substances, hence frustrating the process.”

However, the medical facility, in a statement via its Instagram page, said the leaked document did not emanate from them, as they are committed to ensuring medical confidentiality.

Ned Nwoko, in a statement issued on Saturday, pointed out that the medical facility did not deny authorizing the leaked document but only clarified that it did not publish the document.

Nwoko stated that Regina Daniels’ recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind, stressing that she is vulnerable and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain.

The statement added that Senator Nwoko is genuinely and deeply concerned for Regina Daniels to recover, be safe and present in the lives of her children.
