The story of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan’s recordings is a remarkable testimony of vision, faith, and resilience in the gospel music industry. It all began in 1976, when the leadership of the choir, guided by the Holy Spirit, felt a divine call to start recording their music. This decision was presented to the C.A.C. Church Council, which gave its approval, clearing the way for the choir to embark on a journey that would make history in Nigeria’s gospel music scene.

The choir leadership reached out to several music marketers of the time, but only Ibukun Orisun-Iye Records Label was willing to take a chance. This was a bold move because, until then, no all-female gospel choir in Nigeria had ever recorded an album. Despite the odds, faith and determination prevailed.

In April 1977, the choir stepped into DECCA West Africa’s studio to record their maiden album, “Halleluyah Ale.” This marked the beginning of a legacy that would span over two dozen albums, including beloved titles like Mo Nwoju Olorun, Kaye Koyo, Odun Nlo Sopin, and Odun Yi Atura. All of these albums were produced under Ibukun Orisun-Iye Records, demonstrating a fruitful partnership built on trust and shared vision.

It is important to appreciate the technological context of the time. In 1977, music was primarily distributed via vinyl records, round, flat discs that stored sound in an analog format. These records were played on turntables or record players, and the quality of the platter and groove directly affected sound clarity and fidelity. Every one of the choir’s first 25 albums was recorded on vinyl at DECCA West Africa, capturing the richness of their voices and the depth of their ministry in a format that was revolutionary for female gospel artists of the era.

As technology evolved, so did the choir’s approach to recording and distribution. Vinyl records gave way to audio cassettes, which were later replaced by compact discs (CDs and DVDs). In more recent years, the choir embraced digital downloads and streaming platforms, ensuring that their music reaches audiences worldwide. This willingness to adapt to changing technology has preserved the choir’s relevance and allowed their ministry to impact generations far beyond their original geographic reach.

The journey of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan’s recordings is more than just about music—it is a story of visionary leadership, faith, and foresight. Since 1977, the choir has navigated the ever-changing music industry, evolving with technology without compromising their message or spiritual integrity. Their work stands as a testament to what is possible when divine calling meets dedicated execution.

All albums and videos of the choir are available online for purchase or streaming, ensuring that this legacy continues to inspire listeners around the globe. You can explore more about the choir and their works on their official website: C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan

Legends Reunited: What The Remaining C.A.C. Good Women Choir Are Up To

Introduction

Even after decades of ministry, the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan continues to find ways to glorify God and inspire believers through gospel music. One notable example of their recent collaboration is the video production of “Oluwa Bori,” which took place in November 2019.

This project was not just another recording; it was a labor of love and a tribute to the choir’s beloved leader, Mama D.A. Fasoyin. The timing of the video was intentional—planned to be ready in honor of her 80th birthday on the 1st of March 2020. For the choir, this was an opportunity to celebrate not only Mama Fasoyin’s milestone but also the enduring impact of her ministry and the choir’s rich musical legacy.

When the video was finally unveiled on her birthday, it was a moment of great joy and thanksgiving. The surviving members of the choir, who had faithfully upheld the ministry through the years, came together to participate in the production. Their presence was a testament to their unwavering dedication and the deep bond that unites them through decades of shared worship and service.

Beyond the excitement of its release, the “Oluwa Bori” video carries a greater spiritual purpose. It is intended to touch the hearts of everyone who watches it, drawing them closer to God through the power of song. Each note, harmony, and lyric reflects the choir’s commitment to glorifying God and ministering to the lives of others, just as they have done since the choir’s founding.

This collaboration also highlights the resilience and faithfulness of the surviving members. Despite challenges over the years—including the natural decline in numbers due to age—they continue to honor their calling. The video project demonstrates that even a small group, united by purpose and passion, can make a powerful impact when they dedicate their gifts to God.

In essence, the “Oluwa Bori” video is more than just a production; it is a celebration of faith, legacy, and the enduring spirit of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan. It stands as a reminder that God’s work continues through those who are faithful, no matter the circumstances. For every viewer, the message is clear: God’s glory can be experienced, celebrated, and shared through music, and the choir remains a living example of this truth.

Mama Fasoyin: From Choir To The Screen

Mama Fasoyin: From Choir To The Screen

Introduction

Many people know Mama D.A. Fasoyin as a revered gospel singer, choir leader, and matriarch of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan. However, beyond her powerful voice and enduring music ministry lies another lesser-known gift—acting. Long before she became a gospel music icon, Mama Fasoyin had already discovered her love for drama.

Growing up in her native town of Oyo, Mama D.A. Fasoyin was actively involved in both singing and acting through the St. Michael’s Anglican Church Choir and Drama Group. From a young age, she participated in church plays, musical dramas, and stage presentations that combined storytelling with spiritual lessons. Although singing eventually took center stage in her life, acting remained a passion quietly nurtured over the years.

Even at the age of 86, and despite her demanding ministerial schedule, Mama Fasoyin continues to make time for her second love. She has featured in several Christian movies, playing both major and supporting roles with grace, depth, and conviction. Her performances are marked by realism and spiritual insight, reflecting her long walk with God and deep understanding of human struggles.

One of her most recent movie appearances is in the Christian film “Man Overboard,” written by Tope Ogundipe and directed by Austine Awulonu. The movie tells a sobering story of an adulterous pastor whose pride, ego, and refusal to seek help eventually destroy his family and ministry. It also exposes the deceptive façade maintained by both the pastor and his wife, who pretend to the outside world that all is well while their home quietly falls apart.

In the film, Mama D.A. Fasoyin plays the role of the pastor’s wife’s mother—a wise and concerned parent who consistently counsels her daughter to seek God’s intervention in her troubled marriage. Unfortunately, the daughter ignores this godly advice and resorts to self-help solutions that ultimately backfire. The pastor’s continued unrepentant behavior and refusal to accept correction lead to tragic consequences, including the loss of his last child and the collapse of his ministry.

“Man Overboard” is more than just a movie; it is a mirror reflecting challenges facing some pastors and church leaders today. Through her role, Mama Fasoyin once again ministers—this time through drama—calling attention to the dangers of pride, secrecy, and spiritual negligence.

So yes, it is absolutely true: Mama D.A. Fasoyin is not only a gospel music legend but also a gifted actress, using every available platform to preach truth, encourage repentance, and point hearts back to God.

Odun Nlo Sopin as a song which takes it source from Psalms 91 should not have been limited only to Yoruba tribe alone.

This is the main reason Berachah Music on the 28th August 2020 put together Odun Nlo Sopin WAZOBIA to extend the divine supernatural covering blessings to all by translating it into the three major languages in Nigeria that is, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.

Odun Nlo Sopin: A Gospel Milestone Story

Odun Nlo Sopin: A Gospel Milestone Story

Introduction

The story behind Odun Nlo Sopin is not just about music—it is a testimony of obedience, sacrifice, and uncommon grace. “Disclaimer: As an Affiliate Associate, i earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you”  https://amzn.to/4fBoPja The book by Pastor Adeboye titled “Uncommon Greatness” is a perfect message that resonate with “Odun Nlo Sopin”. 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.

“Disclaimer: As an Affiliate Associate, i earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you” https://amzn.to/4v9YQUN  The book by Pastor Adeboye titled “Holiness” is relevant and corroborate with “Odun Nlo Sopin” concept. 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.

“Disclaimer: As an Affiliate Associate, i earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you” https://amzn.to/4dZ6AD6  The book by Pastor Olukoya titled “Divine Re-positioning” This is excellent and it relate with “Odun Nlo Sopin’s” concept.

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.

“Disclaimer: As an Affiliate Associate, i earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you” https://amzn.to/4nMNGTk  The book by Pastor Adeboye titled “Make The Right Choice” supported some of the decisions taken by the Choir in their early Ministry.

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.

“Disclaimer: As an Affiliate Associate, i earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you” https://amzn.to/4uuR7ka  The book by Pastor Adeboye titled “You Can Possess Your Possession” is apt here.

Glory be to God. Hallelujah!

A Glimpse into the Powerful Ministrations of C.A.C. Good Women Choir

Introduction

The ministry of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir, Ibadan, led by the revered Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin, is a powerful testimony of gospel music in action. Over the years, the choir has faithfully answered numerous invitations from churches and Christian gatherings across Nigeria, carrying the message of Christ through song with humility, consistency, and spiritual depth.

From the early days of their evangelical ministry, the choir demonstrated a strong commitment to outreach. They traveled extensively, ministering in the Northern regions of Nigeria as well as almost every state in the Western part of the country. These journeys were not merely musical tours; they were evangelical missions. Through indigenous gospel songs rich in Scripture and cultural expression, the choir preached salvation, hope, and encouragement to diverse audiences, often in settings where the gospel needed gentle yet powerful proclamation.

Over the decades, the choir has ministered at many notable church programs and Christian events. Their ministrations have graced platforms such as the Holy Ghost Congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at Redemption City, Mega Praise gatherings, and services at C.A.C. Canaan Land, Garage Olode, Ile-Ife. They have also ministered at First Baptist Church, Ikeja, and several parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, including House of His Glory (Area 3, Province 2, Off Allen Avenue, Ikeja), Dominion Cathedral, Gowon Estate, and King Court Parish, Ikeja.

Beyond church auditoriums, the choir’s voice has echoed through public and media platforms. Their participation in the Lagos Television Christmas Fair, as well as Christmas Carol events organized by Lagos State, Ogun State, and Oyo State, brought indigenous gospel music to a broader audience. They also ministered at The Sword of the Spirit Ministries in Ibadan and Christ Disciples Faith Ministries in Sango-Ota, among many others. Each ministration carried the same spiritual focus—glorifying God and touching lives through song.

A particularly memorable moment in the choir’s ministry occurred in 2015, when Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin honored an invitation to collaborate at a Christmas Carol event with the Healing Streams of God Choir of Daystar Christian Centre, Lagos. This historic collaboration marked a beautiful convergence of generations and styles. Three classic tracks from the C.A.C. Good Women Choir repertoire—“Odun Yi Atura,” “Odun Nlo Sopin,” and “Mo Nwoju Oluwa”—were selected for the performance.

The Healing Streams of God Choir, numbering over three hundred voices and supported by a full orchestra and traditional drummers, delivered a world-class rendition of these timeless songs. The performance was a powerful fusion of the old and the new, blending indigenous gospel heritage with contemporary classical expression. It stood as a reminder that inspired music transcends time, culture, and generation.

Above all, these ministrations reflect the enduring relevance of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir’s calling. Through decades of faithful service, their songs have continued to unite believers, inspire worship, and glorify God. Truly, their journey affirms that when gospel music is rooted in truth and sincerity, it remains forever impactful. Glory be to God.

The Birth of a Legacy: How C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan ‘Seed’ Came to Be

The Birth of a Legacy: How C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan ‘Seed’ Came to Be

Introduction

The story behind the formation of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed” is one rooted in legacy, continuity, and a deep desire to preserve a divinely inspired ministry. It is a story that reflects both the realities of time and the faith that refuses to allow a God-given vision to fade away.

At its inception, the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan was a large and vibrant group, boasting a membership of about 150 women. United by a shared passion for gospel music and evangelism, the choir flourished and became a powerful instrument through which God touched lives across Nigeria. However, as the years passed, unavoidable changes began to occur. The creation of new states from the old Oyo State led to relocation and separation of members, reducing the choir’s strength to about 70.

With the passage of time came even greater challenges. Age took its toll, and death claimed some faithful members who had labored tirelessly in the ministry. Gradually, the once-large choir dwindled to about 10 members. By January 2024, only five surviving members remained—faithful witnesses to decades of sacrifice, worship, and service, all to the glory of God.

Faced with this reality, the leadership of the choir recognized an urgent need to act. The question was no longer whether the choir had a glorious past—it clearly did—but whether its legacy would continue into the future. Preserving the spiritual heritage, sound, and message of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir became an imperative responsibility.

In response to this need, the leadership made a heartfelt appeal during one of the choir’s Annual Conventions. The call was directed specifically to the children of choir members who were present at the convention—young men and women who carried the heritage of faith and music within them. Those with a passion for gospel music were encouraged to step forward and become part of the choir, not merely as singers, but as carriers of a legacy.

Although the response to this appeal was not overwhelming, it was significant. A few of the choir members’ children expressed their willingness to join and continue the work. This small but meaningful response marked the beginning of what is now known as the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed.” Just like a seed planted in faith, it represented hope, continuity, and the promise of growth.

As time went on, the structure of the choir evolved further. To support the ongoing ministrations of Mama D.A. Fasoyin, some professional session musicians and backup singers were incorporated into the group. These individuals now serve as musical support during church ministrations and other Christian engagements, ensuring that the message of the gospel continues to be delivered with excellence and spiritual sensitivity.

The formation of the “Seed” is a powerful reminder that God’s work does not end with one generation. Even when numbers are few, purpose remains strong. The C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan “Seed” stands as a testimony that legacy, when nurtured with faith and vision, will always find a way to grow and flourish.

A Decade of Silence: The Story Behind C.A.C. Good Women Choir’s 10-Year Break

A Decade of Silence: The Story Behind C.A.C. Good Women Choir’s 10-Year Break

Introduction

Even the most faithful ministries sometimes face seasons of pause, and the story of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan is a testament to God’s timing and faithfulness. From 1995 to 2005, the choir experienced a temporary break, not because of waning passion or loss of vision, but due to a divine season of rest and restoration.

In 1995, Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin, the revered leader of the choir, was advised by her doctor to take a leave of absence. This recommendation came as she underwent medical therapy, and it became necessary for her to step back and focus entirely on her health. While this period required her personal attention, it did not mean the choir’s mission had ended.

During this time, the choir continued to meet regularly in their choir hall. They maintained their schedule of rehearsals and prayers, nurturing the spiritual unity and dedication that had always defined them. The only adjustments were that the choir temporarily paused church ministrations and studio recordings. Even in this quiet season, their commitment to God and music remained unwavering.

God’s timing, as always, was perfect. By 2003, after divine intervention and restoration of health, Mrs. Fasoyin began compiling songs at home. This effort marked the beginning of a powerful new chapter in her ministry and eventually led to the recording of her first solo album, “Ogo Ikehin,” in 2004. This album did more than just showcase her musical talent—it publicly signaled her return to active ministry and reminded all of the enduring anointing on her life.

The release of “Ogo Ikehin” not only marked Mrs. Fasoyin’s return but also reignited the collective ministry of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir. Choir members, who had remained spiritually connected during the break, were reunited and once again joined hands to bring glory to God. This reunion became a catalyst for preserving the choir’s rich musical heritage, as they began producing videos for their earlier albums.

Starting with “Odun Nlo Sopin” and later “Odun Yi Atura,” the choir reintroduced their most beloved songs to a new generation of listeners. These projects showcased the timeless quality of their music, combining traditional gospel sounds with an authenticity that had always distinguished the choir. Through this renewed ministry, the choir not only preserved its legacy but also expanded its reach, inspiring countless believers and uplifting hearts through worship.

Looking back, the 10-year pause was not a period of loss, but a season of preparation. It allowed healing, reflection, and divine orchestration of a comeback that strengthened the choir’s impact. Today, the story of this break serves as a powerful reminder: God’s work is never hindered by temporary pauses. When the timing is right, He restores, rejuvenates, and elevates His servants to fulfill their divine calling.

Truly, the ministry of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir stands as a testament to perseverance, faith, and God’s miraculous intervention. Their reunion and continued work are living proof of God’s faithfulness, and we give glory to Him for every song, every album, and every life touched through this anointed choir.
