“IBA (LIVE)” by Nathaniel Bassey ft. Dasola Akinbule

Renowned Nigerian gospel minister and trumpet maestro Nathaniel Bassey has unveiled the live ministration of his spiritually charged anthem, “IBA,” featuring rising worship sensation and psalmist Dasola Akinbule. This live rendition revives the already beloved worship track with renewed fire, taking listeners into an even deeper dimension of praise, reverence, and awe before God.

Originally released with official visuals in 2023, “IBA” which translates to “honor,” “reverence,” or “deep obeisance” in Yoruba — has become a spiritual staple in churches, worship gatherings, and personal devotion worldwide. The word IBA carries weight not just as a title, but as a sacred invitation: to bow in holy surrender before the Sovereign God.

A Visual and Sonic Journey Into the Presence of the Almighty

The live version of IBA isn’t just a song, it’s a ministration, an encounter, and a reverent procession into the throne room of God. From the very first note, Nathaniel Bassey sets a tone of holy stillness, inviting the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Accompanied by a full band and worship team, the anointed synergy between Bassey and Dasola Akinbule breathes new life into this timeless expression of worship. The visual production beautifully captures the atmosphere of sacred adoration, immersing viewers in a divine flow of reverence, surrender, and spiritual intimacy.

Dasola Akinbule’s Praise Poetry in Yoruba: A Heavenly Eulogy

One of the standout elements in this ministration is Dasola Akinbule’s poetic delivery, a rich eulogy of God rendered in her native Yoruba tongue. Her voice rises like incense, reciting names and attributes of God in a deeply cultural, yet spiritually universal form. This layer of Yoruba praise poetry adds depth, authenticity, and anointing to the song’s message, celebrating the majesty, splendor, and unmatchable glory of God.

Worship Elevated: A Message of Purity, Meekness, and Majesty

“IBA (LIVE)” doesn’t just showcase musical excellence, it communicates a powerful theology of worship. Through its lyrics and tone, the song emphasizes a vital truth: those who seek to encounter the glory of God must approach with humility, meekness, and purity of heart. It’s a return to the heart posture of true worship — one not focused on performance, but on presence.

Nathaniel Bassey’s trumpet interludes, paired with solemn harmonies and a slow-building spiritual intensity, make IBA a holy procession into divine intimacy, drawing listeners away from the noise and into sacred stillness.

“IBA (LIVE)” by Nathaniel Bassey featuring Dasola Akinbule is now available on YouTube and all digital streaming platforms. Whether you’re leading a congregation, in quiet devotion, or simply hungry for a moment of sacred reverence, this ministration is an invitation to bow low before the King of Glory.

Let IBA become your heart’s cry.
Let it remind you that before His power, we bring honor, awe, and total surrender.
