A popular Nigerian gospel singer, Aduke Ajayi, aka Aduke Gold, has passed away, the news of her death was shared on social media by one of her colleagues, Esther Igbekele in a report monitored on PMNews.
"A general has fallen. RIP," Igbekele wrote in a tribute to honor the deceased on Tuesday.
This, unfortunately, is coming a few months after the demise of another wave-making gospel star, Morenikeji Adeleke, aka Egbin Orun.
Aduke Gold, in her lifetime, was a fast-rising gospel singer who had made a name for herself in the highly competitive industry.
She gained notoriety and a huge fan base as result of her heartfelt songs and dedication to her gift.
"Nitori 0go," which translates to "Because of Glory," is Aduke Gold's breakout single and is part of her well-liked eight-track album.
The song went viral on social media. Aduke Gold has revealed her early hardships on Instagram in an inspirational journey.
She talked about how hardships, including her early days of selling slippers, yam, and fried fish, influenced her music career.
Aduke Gold disclosed that at a period when kerosene was in short supply, she had learnt to cook using firewood and had once packed fish heads at a frozen foods store.
She also talked about her own struggles, which included losing her parents when she was four years old and suffering from extreme vertigo.
Aduke's musical career was matched by her equally remarkable academic accomplishments.
With the help of a scholarship from Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele, the Lagos State Commissioner for Youths and Sports at the time, she graduated from Lagos State University with a degree in history and international relations.
Aduke also possessed multiple certifications in Special Education, Aquaculture, Cake Decorating, Cooking and Decorating, Music Rudiment, Business, and Piano, in addition to a master's degree in Child Psychology and a diploma in Montessori education from the UK.
Her passion went beyond music; she was especially interested in dealing with kids who had unique difficulties, such as dyslexia, autism, and cerebral palsy.
