Watch Tim Godfrey, Travis Greene, Kenny Blaq, Tope Alabi thrill at #TheExperience 13!
On Friday, hundreds of thousands converged as the 13th edition of the annual The Experience concert held at the Tafawa Balewa Square, in the heart of Lagos Island.
It was an overwhelming experience, Christians from all over Nigeria coming together for a massive night of praise and worship as top gospel music artistes performed at the 13th edition of The Experience.
Missed it? You can watch live recordings here. We’ve also compiled the highlights of the night. Check them out:
Pastor Paul Adefarasin demanding good leadership in Nigeria
Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the convener of The Experience event, did what pastors rarely do in this part of the world: call out politicians for their lackluster leadership.

Although a lot of politicians were seated in the audience, including the Lagos State governorship candidates for the 2019 elections Jimi Agabaje and Babajide Sanwo-olu, the pastor, introduced to the stage by his wife, Ifeanyi Adefarasin, asked that Nigerians demand better leadership from their leader. He dropped lines like: “We value thieves instead of prosecuting them,” “When you go to the polling booths, vote for your values.”
Tim Godfrey, Chioma Jesus, Timi Dakolo, Tope Alabi, Ada, Nathaniel Bassey, and Kenny Blaq were among the performers at the annual praise and worship concert organised by House on the Rock.
Watch some of the performances.

Tope Alabi is another level of celestial realm…. Like the words she uses to describe God be like both of them do closed door meeting #TheExperience13

Tope Alabi's lyrics are so deep – like bottomless-deep. Such inspiration.
She said we dare not even say 2 God "may the crown live long on the King" cos we don't know when he got that crown or what the crown looks like. Just think of God's unsearchable greatness!#TheExperience13

I like Tim Godfrey's style. He picks the easiest Nigerian christian songs and adds a lot of guitar riffs and drum solos and voila! concert don set.#TheExperience13

TIMI DAKOLO

If I become President, the first thing I'm doing is to change that boring, bland National anthem and replaced it with Timi Dakolo's Great Nation .

This Timi Dakolo song at #TheExperience13 is giving me hope that our dry bone can rise again
