Nii Okai launches 'Moko Be at 20' with 20 hearts campaign

The Nii Okai Saving Hearts Foundation (NOSHF) and Kinderherzen from Germany are collaborating on the "20 hearts campaign" as part of the celebrations, which will also feature mission teams from the Boston Children's Hospital Heart Center.

 There have already been 41 recipients of the NOSHF's assistance since Nii Okai marked "Mokobe @ 10" in 2013.

Speaking at a press conference held at the University of Ghana Medical Center's (UGMC) Medical Training and Simulation Center in Legon last Thursday, August 17, 2023, Nii Okai listed a number of events scheduled for the celebration, including a Mokobe concert at the ICGC Zoe Temple in Tema on September 17th.

The majority of the performers on the bill have worked with Nii Okai since the publication of his debut album, including Joe Mettle, Koda, Eugene Zuta, MOGmusic, Kofi Karikari, Naa Mercy, David Osabutey, Lordina the Soprano, and many others.

In his entry, Nii Okai recalled a few special occasions that helped define the early years of Ghana's current gospel music.

"Moko Be is a whole village made up of musicians, producers, singers, volunteers, and partners who have and continue to believe in what The Lord has called us into and remain focused on proclaiming His sovereignty through our contemporary gospel music.

"I am humbled to have nurtured many gifted minstrels over the past 20 years who are currently taking the world by storm with their music, and I'm excited to share the stage with them come September 17 in Tema where it all began.Nii made a comment.

Reverend Kojo Amo-Asare, Lead Pastor of the ICGC Zoe Temple, presided over the event and used the occasion to welcome concert attendees to Tema in general and to his church in particular. He also praised Nii Okai for his sacrificial dedication to God's vineyard.

A mix of worship songs led by Minister Esther Godwyll serenaded the visitors and culminated in an emotional performance of Moko bé.

The Chango app and the ticket shortcode *887*273# were two of the ticketing and fundraising tools mentioned by Mr. Franklin Eleblu, Chief Software Architect of IT Consortium.

The cost of a single ticket for the celebration concert is GHS 70, a double ticket is GHS 120, a VIP Heartsaver ticket is GHS 200, and internet watching is GHS 25 or US $5. The ticket hotline is 0246156915.

The celebration was supported by Mr. Felix Nyano-Fosu, a fellow Teknocrat and Sales & Marketing Manager at Total Family Health Organisation (TFHO), who spoke about Nii Okai's ministry work while on the KNUST campus and graciously donated to the cause.

The mascot for the celebration was unveiled by Mr. Patrick Oduro, CEO of the Hephzibah Christian Center.
