14-year-old gospel artiste, Daniel Monday Akpan who goes by the stage name, Great Daniel has revealed how he was slapped four times for speaking in tongues on stage by an executive of his former record label, EeZee Concept. Great Daniel had recently announced his separation from the record label on his Facebook page without disclosing the reason.
However, in an exclusive interview with VANGUARD, the Akwa-Ibom-born singer disclosed that unfair treatment from the record label led him to part ways with them.
He said, “I went for a programme at Abia state, I spoke in tongues while on stage, and when we got to our hotel room, he [vice-president of the record label] was asking me why I spoke in tongues on stage. He shouted at me. I was trying to explain to him that it was not my fault, I was led by the Holy Spirit, the next thing, he gave me the first slap, the second slap, the third slap, the fourth slap, and I started crying because my parents weren’t with me, they were in Lagos state. I didn’t have anyone, so I came back to Lagos state.”
He also revealed that as a result of the fallout, the record label who had been sponsoring his education, cut him off from school and instead employed a home lesson teacher who taught him only three subjects out of nine he takes in school. He said, “It was my first term in SS2, I dropped out from school, and I stayed at home for four months while my classmates were at school studying. They [record label] just stopped me from going to school, saying they will be bringing a home lesson teacher to take me at home because of security reasons.” Daniel added he believed that God is going to take him places, especially now that he is about to embark on an independent music journey.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS I SAW THAT MADE GOD RAISE JERRY EZE FROM IGBO LAND, THE EAST OF NIGERIA
(1) Because, before Jerry Eze rose to limelight, many young ministers in the east of Nigeria were selling their souls to Satan for money and fame…
Someone told them that without sleeping with pythons and fornicating with queen of the coast, that, they will never have crowd and money in ministry and we watched in helplessness how many vibrant guys were hijacked…
But the emergence of Jerry Eze in the scene is a beacon of hope for all those who vowed never to bow to Baal…
The younger ministers have now seen that If God can raise Jerry Eze without the use of juju and without packaging of miracles, then, they will wait for their own time…
(2) Many were running to rich and happening cities and town, so that they will attract oil workers and captains of industries as their members…
But the rising of Jerry Eze from Umuahia is a statement from God to the young ministers that it is not about where you are…
Just carry His burden… He will compel the world to carry His message in your mouth…
That once you have paid the price, that God can still make you a figure to represent Him in global capacity in the fullness of time…
You don’t know how many young men who were genuinely called by God who ran to mami water and took charms to enhance their ministry…
God used him to tell the followers of Jezebel to shut up… that one can still command the miraclulous without knowing the road to native doctors shrine…
How can someone see the Hand of God upon this man and still want to go down to Egypt for help?…
Any young man still patronising Juju to grow ministry must have really vowed to spend eternity in outer darkness…
Friends, in every generation, God raises some men because of some men… and it makes Satan angry seeing those men rising in righteousness and purity…
If you understand this, you will pray for this man with all your heart… so that God will sustain him in this journey…
My wife and I, from far away Belgium, we pray for him and even before now, it has been my duty to compel everyone around me to pray for him…
Not because he is the only man of God doing greatly from the east of Nigeria, but because, his rising is very strategic in the story that would be told about young ministers from my tribe in the near future…
Before now, once people hear about a preacher from the east of Nigeria, they will remember over 20 different young preachers from my tribe that have duped them with prophecies etc…
But right now, once you hear about ministers from my Igbo land, my tribe, people will remember: WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST…
In place of shame, glory has taken over our story! Hallelujah!
To me, that’s how God chose to answer prayer from the lips of many remnants crying to Him to save us from that shame and change our story…
He is certainly not the most anointed man from my tribe, neither is he the only genuine man of God there…
Genuine Men and women dey in Aba, Umuahia, Onitsha, Awka, Ebonyi, Enugu etc that spits fire from the womb of righteousness and purity…
But his rising is very important and because of that, it will be a sin for people like us not to pray for him…
In few days, it will be his birthday…
Please, keep keeping him in your prayers… And none of us shall miss our own share of the rewards of intercession…
