Sandra Ifudu, gospel and
inspirational singer once said she wanted to be better than her aunt, Dora
Ifudu, and that ‘’ just want to sing about meaningful things without sounding
gospel. I don’t intend to sound gospel at all. I’ll use secular beats and all.
Even my mode of dressing and lifestyle won’t be boring,” she said.
However, she quickly said that her
not being boring does not include flaunting her sexuality aggressively. “You know
it is normal for me as a lady to want to wear revealing clothes sometimes. I
believe all women feel like that sometimes. But I will not deliberately choose
to expose my body to sell my music because I believe my talent and good looks
can take me to wherever I want to go,” she added.
On singers like Maheeda using sex to
sell their music, Sandra said she would never be caught dead doing that, saying
one should practice what one preaches. “Well, I am of the opinion that whatever
you preach or talk about, you should at least be able to put it into practice
to make it believable and doable. Even though I am not in any position to
judge, I’ll say people like Maheeda are bad news to inspirational or gospel
music because you can’t be preaching one thing and doing another thing”.
