Popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi, clocks 51 today. The social media timelines of the singer has been flooded with birthday messages.
Celebrating his wife, Soji Alabi in a loving message shared on his Instagram account described Tope, as his best friend.

Joining the fray of well-wishers, Adeynka Alaseyori a.k.a Oniduro applauded Alabi for making it possible for other gospel artistes to dream.
She wrote via her Instagram account, “Thank you for breaking limits and boundaries. Thank you for making it possible for most of us to dream. Thanks for holding on strong. Thank you for being all that God has called you to be. A very happy birthday to you ma’am. The best of your days have just begun ma. Congratulations momma.”(sic)
TheNewsGuru recalls that In June 2021, a video made rounds on social media which showed ace gospel singer, Tope Alabi, condemning a popular Christian song, Oniduro Mi, which was sung by iconic singers, Tolu Adelegan; and Adeyinka Alaseyori, at different times.
In the Yoruba language, Oniduro Mi simply means guarantor. The song praises God as a guarantor and one who never forsakes His own.
While commenting on the song, Alabi said that God was more than a guarantor to her. The singer further said that there was a time she wanted to sing the song but the Holy Spirit warned her against doing so.
The issue sparked a huge argument on the Nigerian social media space especially Twitter with some online commenters bashing Alabi.
However, in the midst of the ruckus, Alaseyori, one of the singers of the song, subdued the situation.
Alaseyori, whose version of the ‘Oniduro Mi’ song seems more known amongst Christians , kept mum until a video surfaced online where she described Tope Alabi as her mother.
“Let Jesus take the wheel. Mummy Tope Alabi is our mother. She’s a mother to me and so many others and by virtue, we have been blessed by her ministrations. Please, let us worship and celebrate God. Let Jesus be at the centre of it,” she said.
