Excitement is brewing as Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade, is set to grace the stage at the highly anticipated Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) opening ceremony.

The singer announced this on her official Twitter account on January 11, 2023, referring to it as a “dream come true.”

The 2023 AFCON competition, which will be held in Cote d’Ivoire, begins on Saturday, January 13, 2024.

Yemi Alade revealed that she has always wanted to perform in front of a large audience in a football stadium while stressing the importance of prayer.

Yemi Alade wrote:

“I can’t buttress the importance of prayer and speaking into existence your heart desires. Since 2016, I have desired to perform at the stadium for football ceremonies surrounded by 100’s of dancers and millions of people.

A lot of calls came in almost every year when football championship preparations were made, but none was favourable. I never said this, but at some point I started feeling like my team was chasing them away , but something told me to let them do their job.

7 years after, I’m performing at AFCON. It’s indeed and honour, a dream come true and it’s just the beginning!!God bless my team and most especially Jehovah ;the captain of my ship that never fails.

Keep praying & working towards your goal. NA WHO STOP E DEY STOP FOR!! Na mouth wey dey open dey chop!!!”

Yemi Alade stated that the pressure to get married gets quite intense towards the end of the year but she has mastered how to respond.
