From July 18, Nigerians would have the opportunity to listen to bible verses from the book of Mathew to Revelation in Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Efik, Ibibio, Gbagi, Gwari, Fulani, Igala and Idoma languages.
Other languages that are in the audio bible include Tiv, Bini, Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Igbira, Ogoni and Okrika.
Veteran actor Ejike Asiegbu in a statement congratulated Prophet Ogudu. This God’s servant is someone I have known for over a decade now and I know his penchant for doing things that will promote not only God’s work but enrich humanity. This audio bible in 18 Nigerian languages will be promoted by us entertainers across the states in the federation as our own way of helping to propagate the gospel, and win souls for God and reawaken the consciousness in people to serve God.”
Prophet Ogudu had a revelation last year to produce audio bibles. “The word of God is life, some of these languages are dying gradually and we want to use this audio bible to revive our languages, reawaken our culture and languages as well as bring pride and dignity to the individual.”
