Nigerian Gospel Artiste, Nathaniel Bassey Invited To Trump’s Inaugural Event (50454 Views)

Islie: 9:04am On Jan 05

Renowned Nigerian gospel minister and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey, has been invited to minister at the U.S. Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

The non-political and faith-based event will be hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner ahead of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance’s swearing-in ceremony.

The prayer breakfast, to be held at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom, will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Dr. Alveda King and Pastor Mario Bramnick.

Confirming his participation on Instagram, Bassey stated, “Let’s raise a sound in America. See you on January 20, 2025.”

Bassey, celebrated for his music and ministry, is also known for the Hallelujah Challenge, an online worship movement.

In 2024, the Mayor of Albany, New York, honored him by declaring October 6 as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day.”

The event emphasizes prayer and worship as a spiritual for the U.S. government and presidency.

Trump really knows how to get Nigerians attention grin

Modified:
I've been getting mentions on this particular post. My post is not to say anything less of Nathaniel Bassey or the Christian religion but to address the folks on nairaland that wouldn't see anything beyond the fact that someone from their religion is on the list of musician to perform at the Trump inaugural ceremony. I love his music and I'm a good Christian whose love for God has no boundaries.

Aside being a good gospel musician, Nathaniel Bassey holds a high respect in the US and a green card to his status.

The US recognize and reward talents. Nathaniel Bassey has got that. The Grammy recognize all categories of music. If Nathaniel Bassey was nominated and invited to Grammy, the same Nigerians would roast him alive for selling his soul. Being religious for Nigerians is always one-sided and Trump knows how to play that card rightly (not like he cares about Nigeria)

I really wish him well and congratulations to him 🎉

Not surprised.

This guy and sinach are the two best Nigerian gospel artists.

Others are trash.

Wow that's good for him. The scripture says that a man's gift will make way for him and bring him before kings and not mere men. This scripture is being fulfilled in his life

Congratulations to our own brother, Nathan. I'm happy Trump is wise enough to invite a man and not all these female singers that make noises and call them songs.
