Dunsin Oyekan Set for Live Recording Concert in Lagos, Featuring Victoria Orenze and John WildsNigerian gospel powerhouse, Dunsin Oyekan, widely known as The Eagle,is set to host a highly anticipated live recording concert in Lagos this September.
The worship gathering, which will feature fellow ministers Victoria Orenze and John Wilds, is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 at Trinity Towers, Oniru Road, Maroko, Lagos Doors open at 4 pm, with the event kicking off at 5 pm.Born in Ilorin, Nigeria, Oyekan’s passion for music and worship took root at the young age of 10 when he began learning to play the guitar under the guidance of his father, himself a worship leader.
Although he pursued Industrial Chemistry at the University of Ilorin, Oyekan’s life took a remarkable turn in 2014 when he embraced full-time ministry, following what he describes as a divine calling.For over two decades, Dunsin Oyekan has been a key voice in African gospel music, writing deeply spiritual songs and leading thousands in worship experiences that emphasize reverence, intimacy with God, and transformative encounters.
His music, marked by a prophetic depth and lyrical richness, seeks to draw people closer to Jesus Christ in profound and lasting ways.Oyekan has released seven impactful albums, including Code Red, Kingdom Now, The Gospel of the Kingdom, The Glory Experience – Songs of Zion, The Birth of Revival, The Great Commission, and Generation Intimacy.
Each album carries a unique spiritual message, with songs such as More Than a Song, Worship Your Maker, Here With Us,and BABA gaining wide acclaim across nations.In addition to his recorded works, Oyekan is known for hosting signature worship gatherings such as Upper Room a monthly intimate worship experience, and large-scale revival meetings like Code Red and The Outpouring These events have become conduits for divine encounters, uniting believers in an atmosphere charged with prayer and prophetic worship.One of the unique aspects of Oyekan’s ministry is his use of the word “Asher” a symbolic expression he often declares during worship.
For him, it represents an overflow of God’s anointing, blessings, and abundance, setting the tone for the supernatural atmosphere in his gatherings.Despite personal trials, Oyekan’s commitment to his calling has only deepened. Following the painful loss of his wife, Adedoyin Oyekan, in 2019, he has openly shared how he turned grief into a greater devotion to God, channeling pain into worship.
Similarly, after surviving a serious car accident with his team on the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway in 2022, he publicly described the experience as nothing short of a miracle.Oyekan’s ministry is also distinguished by his philosophy of service Unlike many in the industry, he does not charge fees for his ministry engagements, citing divine instruction that charging would “cause the well to dry up.”
This principle has further underscored his authenticity and commitment to serving God’s people without compromise.As anticipation builds for the upcoming live recording, gospel music lovers across Nigeria and beyond are eager to witness another move of God through the ministry of Dunsin Oyekan.
With the powerful combination of Victoria Orenze’s passionate worship and John Wilds’ global voice, the event promises to be a historic night of revival, intimacy, and spiritual overflow in Lagos.
