Renowned gospel singer Frank Edwards marked Mother’s Day by expressing deep appreciation for his mother’s guidance and sacrifices.
He recalled a significant moment in his career when she stopped him from signing a $320,000 (now worth N492 million) music deal that would have granted full ownership of his catalogue to a group.
Despite initially supporting his career with N150,000 to start his studio, she took drastic steps to protect his future, even confiscating his passport to prevent him from traveling abroad to finalize the deal.
“The very first time in my life years ago I was to close $320,000 deal from a group that wanted to almost own my entire catalogue. You said NO ! And I quote you. “ The 150,000 naira I gave you to start that studio is bigger than that money, just give it time . They are not of God”
Infact you took my international passport away from me Just to ensure I don’t travel to close that deal , and I was laughing because I didn’t need to travel to close it but then I listened to you. After u said that I was thinking How is 150,000 Naira bigger than $320,000,” he wrote.
Frank Edwards appreciated his mother for stopping the deal and honored her on Mother’s Day.
“Now I understand there is so much to say !! But like I said .. this space is not enough!! Happy Mother’s Day mum!!! Thank you for everything this space is not enough to write about you. Thank you for an impenetrable wall of fire! Thank for always telling me the mind of God about the things I’m doing, Non of your words fell to the ground because you truly hear from God,” he added.
