Ahead of the �Africa Worships Concert,� headline artiste Sonnie Badu, has confidently declared that he would fill the stadium.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The General Telegraph Entertainment Desk in Accra, the UK-based gospel artiste said Africa has huge potentials, so there is the need to believe in ourselves.
Although some may see it as ambitious to host close to 50,000 people at a concert at the Accra Sports Stadium, Sonnie believes he would achieve this feat since with God �All things are possible.�
�With every concert we have targets, and by God�s Grace we have been able to meet a lot of targets so hopefully this one too we are going to meet our target,� he told the General Telegraph.
�It would be the first time in history that an African will single-handedly fill the stadium. I want the whole world to know that the best is still from Africa. So we don�t need too much of the international artistes to come over to fill the stadium but we can do it ourselves,� he added.
Explaining the concert further, Sonnie Badu said this year�s concept will be unique since a selected number of African comedians, including Ghana�s Funny Face, will minister the Word of God through comedy.
�We are expecting over 30,000 people, not just that we have comedians coming on board, a lot of worshippers so it is going to be fun,� he revealed.
Touching on the criteria for selecting other Ghanaian gospel artistes on his programme, this is what Sonnie had to say: �We do a survey to find out which Ghanaian artistes are doing very well and which the people would love to see on stage and based on the results we pick them up.�
This year�s �Africa Worships Concert with Sonnie Badu� will also feature international artiste Ron Kenoly, with SP Kofi Sarpong, Kwesi Oteng, OJ, Ohema Mercy, Joe Mettle, Eugene Zutah and Ella Duncan Williams being the supporting artistes.
According to Sonnie Badu, the year�s event is going to be �a once in a lifetime event that you can�t easily forget� so everyone should grab their tickets.
It is a yearly concept that we have been holding, dubbed �Africa Worships with Sonnie Badu� and this year we moved from London to Africa, and we chose to start from Ghana at the Accra Sports Stadium. The concert aims at bringing the whole of Africa together and all who desire to worship God like David did in prayer, praise, worship and thanksgiving.
