The story behind Odun Nlo Sopin is not just about music—it is a testimony of obedience, sacrifice, and uncommon grace. Long before the album became a household name in gospel music, C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan followed a spiritual pattern that defined all their releases: total dependence on God.

As was the custom of the choir, preparation for any recording did not begin in the studio but on the mountain. The women would retreat into fasting, prayer, and waiting on God to receive divine direction before fixing any recording date with their producer. When the time came to record Odun Nlo Sopin in 1979, there was no special arrangement, publicity plan, or unusual procedure. It was approached with the same humility and prayerful spirit that characterized every other project.

Yet, Odun Nlo Sopin turned out to be extraordinary.

The album is a prayer song that earnestly seeks God’s supernatural protection over the lives of those who listen to it. By the grace of God, this prayer has continually found expression in countless testimonies from within Nigeria and across the world. Many have returned with stories of divine preservation, deliverance, and safety after listening to the song. It is this unmistakable hand of God that has made Odun Nlo Sopin stand out among the choir’s over twenty-four releases.

When the song was recorded, the choir had no idea they were making history. They never imagined that decades later, Odun Nlo Sopin would still remain relevant, powerful, and deeply cherished across generations. Of the fifteen women who recorded the album in 1979, only five—including their leader, Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin—are still alive today. Their survival alone stands as a testament to God’s preserving grace.

Perhaps the enduring power of Odun Nlo Sopin can be traced to the heart with which it was created. These women were not driven by financial gain or fame. At the time, gospel music was purely ministry, fueled by personal sacrifice. They served God wholeheartedly, even with their own resources, trusting Him for everything. It is believed that God honored this sincerity by placing His divine seal upon the album, transforming it into a global brand that continues to bless lives from generation to generation.

A remarkable example of this selflessness occurred on October 15, 1980, when the choir’s producer informed them that their first royalty from Odun Nlo Sopin—about ₦50,000 at the time—was ready for collection. Rather than keep the money, the choir instructed the producer to use it to purchase musical instruments for the group. This single decision later enabled the choir to acquire a Davoli musical instrument, a Toyota Coaster bus, and a pickup van for transporting their equipment.

Odun Nlo Sopin is a collection of seven powerful prayer tracks that has worked wonders and continues to do so. Truly, this album is a manifestation of great grace.

Glory be to God. Hallelujah!
