Demola Olota Drops ‘Prayer For Nigeria’
By Kayode Aponmade
Following a divine call and instruction months back, prolific Saxophonist, music director and gospel musician, Demola Olota, otherwise known as Demolta, has dropped a new song titled ‘Prayer For Nigeria’.
Demolta alleged that he received a divine instruction to lead our nation Nigeria in organized prayers that would lead to Economic and Political prosperity.
In compliance with the divine instruction, he mobilized creative, human, financial and material resources to actualize the divine “National Project”, ‘Prayer For Nigeria’, featuring the legendary Evangelist Ebenezer Obey.
Demola started a career in music as Organist in 1987 at St. Dennis Catholic Church, Bariga, headed by Rev. Fr. D.J. Slattery (SMA) during his final year at Bishop Howell’s Memorial Secondary School.
Demola Olota is the organist and choirmaster of St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, Yaba.
He initially studied Computer Science, but his deep love for music and the arts generally took him to the Creative Arts Department of the University of Lagos, where he specialized in Music and Majoring in Voice.
He played the organ for six masses every Sunday for several years before the church could get a reliable assistant due to the commitment and demands of the position. And he has since been the organist there till date, an engagement he has never missed despite being in such high demand.
Olota founded his musical team of young talented musicians, ‘De Clique Vocals’, a private choral group on 8 August, 1992, and later ‘De Clique Band’, which has since then performed for the American Embassy, Norwegian Embassy, French Embassy, opening ceremony of the Musical Society of Nigeria complex (MUSON) and Lagos State Government among others.
Meanwhile, he has dropped several hit albums including ‘Bend Down’, produced by Laolu Akins in 2006.
‘Prayer For Nigeria’ is a vinyl with plans to be distributed freely to Nigerians of mature age and status for national effectiveness.
