The Chief Executive Officer, Surprise Pub and Cafe, Matthew Evbakor Oshodin, has penciled down a notable Nigerian gospel artiste, Deaconess Palmer Omoruyi for an award in his forthcoming Legendary Concert in Benin City.

Giving the reason for the award, he said that Nigeria has a lot of unsung heroes whose praises are usually sung when they passed on to the great beyond.

He said that this should not be encouraged as a country that believes in the development of its people and encourage creativity among its teeming youths.

Oshodin said this while speaking on his forthcoming Palmer Omoruyi Legendary Concert event in the state.

He said on his own, he has chosen to right the wrongs in his time and sets a benchmark for others in the hospitality business to follow.

He said in doing that, he has decided to honour a gospel artiste, Deaconess Palmer Omoruyi, a woman who has broken the celling in her career as a gospel artiste.

He said, honouring her, is a way of letting her know that she is very much valued by the people of the state.

He said, the gospel artiste who has carved a niche for herself in the music industry, has also created jobs for other Nigerians by extension, as there are other persons working under her, which has further reduced the level of unemployment in the state.

Oshodin said the honour to be done to the Edo State born gospel artiste, is to spur other women to look inwards and find out what they are good at with the view of developing them for the well being of humanity.

“Last time, we honoured Mr. Wilson Ehigiator also known as Ekobeghian and the state deputy governor, Philip Shaibu was present in person but this time around, we decided to go for a woman, Palmer Omoruyi.

“Our women are blessed with abundant of talents. The only problem confronting them is that, they have not been able to discover themselves.

“To those who have discovered themselves and are making waves in our society in their various fields of endeavours, they have not been singled out for honour for their ingenuity.

“To me, I believe that we are not been fare to them at all. I believe that they should be appreciated and the best time to do it, is when they are alive and not when they are dead.

” I have taken it upon myself as the Chief Executive Officer of Surprise Pub and Cafe, to honour one of our own while she is still alive.

“I have dedicated a day for her tagged” Palmer Omoruyi Legendary Concert”. This is just to honour her. She will come, sing some of her hits songs and the award will be given to her.

“I believe this will encourage other women to discover themselves and be useful to themselves and the society at large”, Oshodin said.

Celebrity barman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has explained that long-standing U.S. visa issues prevented him from attending singer Davido’s white wedding in Miami, Florida.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Okechukwu said he woke up with “mixed feelings,” describing his joy for the couple alongside the disappointment of missing the event.

Sharing a throwback video from Davido’s traditional wedding in Lagos in 2024, he wrote: “Woke up this morning with mixed feelings. I’m happy, and I’m still sad at the same time. Sometimes, God has a way of making you understand that you are powerless regardless of all you may think you have.”

Addressing criticism over his absence, the nightlife entrepreneur said it gave him “multiple reasons and proofs to apply again” for a U.S. visa.

He also appealed directly to the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, saying: “#usinnigeria do it for me this time. You can clearly see how disappointed and hurt the world is to see me absent at my best friend’s wedding… Well, delay is never denial, CP is still hopeful.”

Despite not being there in person, Okechukwu said his wife and family attended to represent him. “The largest part of me, which is my family, my beautiful, elegant, expensive, eloquent and sophisticated wife #_deangels, is there to share in this luxury blissful experience. So I’m there in body and spirit,” he said, while wishing Davido and his wife Chioma “an amazing wedlock.”

He revealed plans to reapply for a visa next week, adding: “#usinnigeria I’m in again next week. Please give me access to the greatest country in the world. This pain is really paining.”

Earlier in January, Cubana Chief Priest disclosed on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds that errors made on his first U.S. visa application, filled out by someone else when he was younger, had persisted in the immigration system, repeatedly leading to denials.

“Some mistakes were coming up during interviews… Anytime I came, it kept popping up,” he explained, adding that Davido often tells him about life in America, an experience he still hopes to enjoy soon
