Gospel music minister Pastor Nathaniel Bassey has shared a personal account of his longstanding relationship with fellow gospel minister Victoria Orenze, revealing how they lived together, prayed, travelled and ministered together before she began ministering independently.
Speaking while celebrating Victoria Orenze, Bassey recalled their years of closeness, explaining that she lived with him and his two sisters at his former residence at Number 34, 2 Rashe Street. According to him, they shared the same bed for approximately three to four years. “When I was living at Number 34, 2 Rashe Street, I had one bed, I had two sisters. She was the third sister, so we slept on the same bed for about three, four years,” he said.
Victoria Orenze Prayed and Fasted for 40 Days in His House
Bassey also revealed that his home was where Victoria Orenze undertook a 40-day prayer and fasting exercise without food or water. He further recalled that they played music together, with Orenze playing the violin as part of the band. They also travelled together for ministrations. He explained that her journey into ministering independently began from his house.
“It was in my house she prayed and fasted for 40 days, no food, no water. And she used to play the violin with me on the band; we travelled together. And she began ministering on her own from my house,” Bassey recounted.
“I Can Write a Book”
Reflecting on the many experiences they shared, the gospel minister said their history together was extensive enough to fill a book.
“So we have stories. I can write a book,” he said. Bassey then encouraged the congregation to celebrate Victoria Orenze, describing her as someone who does not tolerate nonsense and jokingly warning the audience that she could speak candidly if given the microphone.
He urged everyone to give her a warm reception and celebrate her ministry. His remarks offered a glimpse into the personal history and shared experiences behind the relationship between the two gospel music ministers, highlighting the years of fellowship, prayer, music and ministry they shared.
