Nigerian actress, producer, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Eguono Emuraishe has been honored with the Most Outstanding Gospel Artiste of the Year Diaspora award at the African Global Excellence Awards (AGEA), held recently in Lagos, Nigeria.

The prestigious ceremony attracted a distinguished audience comprising celebrities, captains of industry, entrepreneurs, and professionals from diverse sectors, underscoring the growing influence of African excellence on global platforms.

A seasoned gospel minister, worship leader, and recording artiste, Eguono Emuraishe’s music ministry spans Nigeria, the United States, and other parts of the African diaspora. Renowned for her soulful worship style and spiritually uplifting lyrics, she has consistently used music as a vehicle for evangelism, encouragement, and faith renewal.

Over the years, her songs deeply rooted in Christian values and personal life experiences have gained steady airplay and widespread acceptance among gospel music audiences, particularly within diaspora communities seeking authentic African inspired worship.

According to the organizers, the recognition celebrates her outstanding contribution to gospel music and her faith driven impact beyond Africa’s borders. Her music, known for its depth, worship-centered message, and cross-cultural appeal, continues to resonate strongly with audiences in the diaspora, earning her a loyal following and critical acclaim within the gospel music community.

Reacting to the honor, a visibly elated Eguono expressed heartfelt gratitude, describing the award as both unexpected and deeply meaningful.

“This award is very special to me. I honestly did not see it coming, but it confirms that hard work truly pays,” she said.

“I dedicate this award to God Almighty, my husband, and my children, who have been my strongest support system. This is just the beginning of greater things, and I promise to give my very best as you anticipate my new single, which is currently on air.”

The award comes on the heels of significant personal milestones. Eguono recently celebrated her husband’s birthday in Detroit, Michigan an occasion that also marked their 19th wedding anniversary.

Blessed with five children, she described this season as one of renewed purpose, expressing confidence that God is ushering her family into a new chapter of growth, grace, and global relevance.

The African Global Excellence Awards (AGEA) is an annual platform dedicated to recognizing outstanding Africans and diaspora personalities who demonstrate excellence, integrity, and positive global impact across various sectors.

From arts and culture to business, leadership, and humanitarian service, AGEA continues to spotlight individuals whose work promotes African values, innovation, and global relevance.

Speaking on behalf of the organizers, Victor Anthony described the award as one of AGEA’s most significant honors. He noted that Eguono was selected after a thorough evaluation of her music, message, and audience impact.

“Eguono Emuraishe is a strong believer in God Almighty, and her gospel songs cut across all aspects of life,” he stated.

“We studied her music closely, examined her fan base, and assessed her influence in the diaspora. She stood out clearly, which is why she deserved the Gospel Artiste in the Diaspora Award.”

Anthony further prayed for the award recipient to continue rising in influence and impact, expressing confidence that she will move from glory to glory.

The AGEA recognition not only affirms Eguono Emuraishe’s growing stature in global gospel music but also reinforces her role as a powerful voice for faith, inspiration, and African excellence on the world stage.
