Gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey began his online praise and prayer programme, Hallelujah Challenge, on Monday, February 10, and the turnout was massive.
Many worshippers trooped to the social media pages of the Ebenezer hitmaker to praise and worship God. The participants also had numerous expectations mentioned in the comments section of the singer’s social media pages.
Over 479,000 people joined the Hallelujah Challenge on YouTube, and about 300,000 individuals participated on Facebook and Instagram, which caused a buzz online.
Nathaniel Bassey’s Hallelujah Challenge
The Hallelujah Challenge began in 2017 and the turnout has increased yearly. Several pastors and gospel singers have also graced the programme including Apostle Joshua Selman, Pastor Jerry Eze, Apostle Victoria Orenze, Joe Praise, Eben, and Lilian Nneji, among others.
Though Nathaniel Bassey has received criticisms over the programme, it has not deterred him. This edition will end on March 1, 2025, and it is expected that more people will join in the coming days. Aside from being a gospel singer, Bassey is also a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
