Born into a polygamous home but raised up in a different backgrounds, Destiny Chiamaka Uga, a.k.a, Zion, is a typical example of someone who is committed to realising her dream in life despite her background. In this interview with OPEOLUWANI AKINTAYO, Zion talks about how she fought so hard to keep her dream alive as well as how she met her husband.<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/p>\n

What was growing up like for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m from a polygamous home and we\u2019re eight in number from my mother\u2019s side. And polygamous home being what it is, it affected us financially.<\/p>\n

Most of us couldn\u2019t go to school, because we allowed our younger ones go to school because our parents weren\u2019t so rich.<\/p>\n

So I ended up living with my aunties in different homes. And that\u2019s why I have different characters because I lived with different people and I can adapt to different situations. Like my first aunty that I lived with, she trained me into a reserved person so I grew up a private person.<\/p>\n

You said you grew up to become an introvert, why did you choose music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It all started when I was still with the first family I lived with. They were Catholics and I used to go to Church with them.<\/p>\n

I became a lay reader and later joined the choir because I love singing, a trait I inherited from my mum. And whenever I sang in the Church, people usually loved it and would encourage me, telling me that I should take it to a higher level.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022Zion<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So, whenever there was a big programme in Church, I\u2019d be invited to sing and that\u2019s how everything started. Inside of me, I was convinced that I was destined to sing and touch lives with my songs.<\/p>\n

When I was in my early twenties, I joined the Zoe Ministry. I started attending the Church\u2019s programmes that included crusades and conventions where I\u2019d be asked to sing.<\/p>\n

On this particular day I\u2019d never forget, we travelled for a convention at Ogwashi Ukwu. And during the service, the pastor just singled me out from the crowd and asked me to come to the altar. When I got to him, he told me that he had a message for me.<\/p>\n

That I\u2019m called to sing and that I should go ahead and train myself in music so that I could start ministering. At that moment, I felt the anointing strongly on me.<\/p>\n

And what did you do about the prophesy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was sad because I had nobody, who amongst my different relations who understood my calling. I was scared because I didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n

After a while, I came to Lagos on my own and stayed with a friend because I didn\u2019t want to stay with my step brothers. But I visited them from time to time.<\/p>\n

Soon I joined the movie industry and was often given Waka pass roles. I did couple of movie like Karisika, Assignment, Child Of Destiny and others but it wasn\u2019t paying off.<\/p>\n

I left the industry and was advised to join a dance group which I did. We were taught different cultural dances and we would entertain at occasions.<\/p>\n

So, hy are you coming out now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because I think it\u2019s time. God has been patient with me. And since I\u2019m matured enough, I realised I couldn\u2019t sit and do nothing about my calling.<\/p>\n

Do you have an album?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, I do. I titled the album using my stage name, Zion. I\u2019m through with the audio and I\u2019m working on the video. I have five promotional tracks like Zion, I Know Who I Am, Mo Ti Seun Rere, Ome Wo Mu Mma, Jehovah and Instrumental.<\/p>\n

When is the album dropping ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopefully, it will drop next month by the grace of God.<\/p>\n

Are you doing anything to train yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, I\u2019ve enrolled in a music school. I had to register in a music school because I just don\u2019t want to be a singer but a musician. I want to know everything that relates to music, I want to write my songs, play the instruments and teach music.<\/p>\n

How did you meet your husband?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the dancing group, I got a job with a telecommunication company as a Sales Representative. When I joined the company, I was trained for one months. I met my husband while travelling to Enugu by air. I sat next to him in the plane and we got talking.<\/p>\n

He asked for my number but I didn\u2019t oblige him. When our plane landed and I waited to be picked by my sister, he came right behind me to collect my number.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, he went behind me again to see my family and disclosed to them his intention.<\/p>\n

Initially, I never wanted to settle down because I wanted to achieve something substantial for myself before going into marriage.<\/p>\n

But he mounted pressure on me to marry him. I never met a man like him, he was so stubborn about what he wanted. On many occasions, I\u2019d quarrel with him to see if he\u2019d leave me alone but it only got worse.<\/p>\n

He became more persistent. To show how serious he was, he went to see my family without my knowing and with the connivance of my sister.<\/p>\n

One day, my sister invited me over to her place and started giving me Bible quotations.<\/p>\n

She lied that she dreamt that a man had asked for my hand in marriage but I refused. She told me how the whole family was angry and disowned me for refusing. By this time, my family members were already in love with him, not for his money but for the way he portrayed himself to them.<\/p>\n

Well, I finally accepted his proposal.<\/p>\n

Were you a born-again when both of you met?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes I was newly born again. I was still a growing Christian and was being careful. So I told God that if he\u2019s truly my husband, nothing should stop it. It took a while for me to be convinced because there were days he\u2019d call me and I\u2019d shout on him to stop calling me.<\/p>\n

But one day, I woke up in the morning and I had that feeling of conviction to go ahead with it. And immediately I made that decision, he called from his base in Germany and said he dreamt that we wedded and that he\u2019s not going to stop until he marries me. And at the end of the day, everything went well.<\/p>\n

So are you planning to join him in Germany soon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. In fact, I\u2019d have joined him long ago but the thought of starting life afresh in another country bothered me so much that I really want to take my time to work on my calling before going over.<\/p>\n

Are you not scared that things might go wrong with you here and him over there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not scared because I trust him. He\u2019s taught me to trust and to believe that everything will be fine. We talk on phone and he comes home too.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve decided to start music fully do you have any challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thank God for blessing me with the most wonderful man on earth. He\u2019s been very supportive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I was scared because I didn\u2019t know what to do. After a while, I came to Lagos on my own and stayed with a friend because I didn\u2019t want to stay with my step brothers. But I visited them from time to time. Soon I joined the movie industry and was often given Waka pass roles. I did couple of movie like Karisika, Assignment, Child Of Destiny and others but it wasn\u2019t paying off. I left the industry and was advised to join a dance group which I did. We were taught different cultural dances and we would entertain at occasions. So, hy are you coming out now? Because I think it\u2019s time. God has been patient with me. And since I\u2019m matured enough, I realised I couldn\u2019t sit and do nothing about my calling. Do you have an album? Yes, I do. I titled the album using my stage name, Zion. I\u2019m through with the audio and I\u2019m working on the video. I have five promotional tracks like Zion, I Know Who I Am, Mo Ti Seun Rere, Ome Wo Mu Mma, Jehovah and Instrumental. When is the album dropping ? Hopefully, it will drop next month by the grace of God. Are you doing anything to train yourself? Yes, I\u2019ve enrolled in a music school. I had to register in a music school because I just don\u2019t want to be a singer but a musician. I want to know everything that relates to music, I want to write my songs, play the instruments and teach music. How did you meet your husband? After the dancing group, I got a job with a telecommunication company as a Sales Representative. When I joined the company, I was trained for one months. I met my husband while travelling to Enugu by air. I sat next to him in the plane and we got talking. He asked for my number but I didn\u2019t oblige him. When our plane landed and I waited to be picked by my sister, he came right behind me to collect my number. Thereafter, he went behind me again to see my family and disclosed to them his intention. Initially, I never wanted to settle down because I wanted to achieve something substantial for myself before going into marriage. But he mounted pressure on me to marry him. I never met a man like him, he was so stubborn about what he wanted. On many occasions, I\u2019d quarrel with him to see if he\u2019d leave me alone but it only got worse. He became more persistent. To show how serious he was, he went to see my family without my knowing and with the connivance of my sister. One day, my sister invited me over to her place and started giving me Bible quotations. She lied that she dreamt that a man had asked for my hand in marriage but I refused. She told me how the whole family was angry and disowned me for refusing. By this time, my family members were already in love with him, not for his money but for the way he portrayed himself to them. Well, I finally accepted his proposal. Were you a born-again when both of you met? Yes I was newly born again. I was still a growing Christian and was being careful. So I told God that if he\u2019s truly my husband, nothing should stop it. It took a while for me to be convinced because there were days he\u2019d call me and I\u2019d shout on him to stop calling me. But one day, I woke up in the morning and I had that feeling of conviction to go ahead with it. And immediately I made that decision, he called from his base in Germany and said he dreamt that we wedded and that he\u2019s not going to stop until he marries me. And at the end of the day, everything went well. So are you planning to join him in Germany soon? Yes. In fact, I\u2019d have joined him long ago but the thought of starting life afresh in another country bothered me so much that I really want to take my time to work on my calling before going over. Are you not scared that things might go wrong with you here and him over there? I\u2019m not scared because I trust him. He\u2019s taught me to trust and to believe that everything will be fine. We talk on phone and he comes home too. Now that you\u2019ve decided to start music fully do you have any challenges? I thank God for blessing me with the most wonderful man on earth. He\u2019s been very supportive. Comments are moderated.
