Veteran music producer and executive ID Cabasa has urged Christian creatives to confidently pursue careers in the secular music industry, dismissing the widely held belief that it is “ungodly” as a misleading narrative designed to discourage believers from participating. In a recent post on his X handle, Cabasa emphasized that while sin and carnality exist in the industry, they do not define the entire space. He stressed that the earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord, not the devil, and that Christians should not be deterred by fear or false teachings.
Cabasa, known for his work with Coded Tunes, argued that the claim that the devil owns the secular music space is a deliberate lie used to limit the influence of Christian talent. He pointed out that the real problem is not the presence of evil, but the lack of enough “light” to counter it. “Their evil cannot trump your light,” he reassured Christian artists, urging them to step into the space with purpose and faith. His message resonates with many creatives who have struggled with balancing their spiritual convictions and professional ambitions in a competitive industry.
The music producer’s call comes at a time when Nigerian Christian artists are increasingly making waves in mainstream music, blending faith-based messages with popular sounds. Cabasa’s words aim to empower believers to take ownership of their creative talents without guilt or hesitation. He believes that Christian creatives have a unique responsibility to bring positive influence and spiritual depth to the secular space, rather than avoiding it altogether.
Meanwhile, in a separate story, a Nigerian woman has sparked online discussions after sharing her experience with a former NYSC roommate. She revealed that their friendship ended abruptly after their service year, with all attempts at communication ignored. “So, my roommate during NYSC stopped talking to me immediately our service year ended. Even when I wished her a happy birthday, she never acknowledged it, so I stopped reaching out. I just accepted that whatever we had ended with service,” she wrote. The situation took an unexpected turn when the former roommate recently reached out, requesting to stay at her family home for wedding preparations. “Yesterday, she texted me on WhatsApp saying she’s coming to my hometown to get material for her wedding asoebi and asked if she could spend the night at our family house. Omo, up till now, I never reply. She dey craze,” she added, highlighting issues of boundaries and trust in post-service relationships.
Cabasa’s message continues to inspire Christian creatives to see the secular music industry not as a battlefield to avoid, but as a platform to shine their light and influence culture for good.
