He’s arguably Nigeria’s most successful gospel artiste sinc e this century began. Only fellow Christ Embassy lead singer Sinach probably surpasses his followership base. With several continental and national awards and nominations, however, Frank remains number one. Naij Music refers to him as “ Nigeria’s hottest gospel music artist ever ”. Well, the world is just realizing his worth; but there was someone who saw potential when he started out 5 years ago and that is Ezekiel ‘Ezzy’ T. Ezzy T was, according to Frank, already a career musician. When he learnt Frank was about to launch out, Ezzy decided to drop his ambition and serve Frank, as manager and assistant.
