Judikay & Mercy Chinwo Reunite For New Thanksgiving Single ‘Ekele Gi’
Judikay & Mercy Chinwo Reunite For New Thanksgiving Single ‘Ekele Gi.’ Nigerian gospel powerhouses Judikay and Mercy Chinwo have brought their voices together once again, releasing a new worship collaboration titled Ekele Gi (Your Praise), which arrived on Friday, November 13, 2026.
The new single is a celebration of God’s goodness and faithfulness, giving listeners another reason to lift their voices in thanksgiving. Rooted in the Igbo expression Ekele Gi, which translates to ‘Your Praise’, the song carries a message of gratitude and an invitation to acknowledge God’s hand in every testimony.
The release follows days of anticipation after Judikay hinted at a possible reunion with Mercy Chinwo earlier in November. What initially appeared to be a playful suggestion on social media has now become a reality, bringing two much-loved voices in Nigerian gospel music together for another musical offering.
The reunion is particularly meaningful for listeners familiar with the pair’s musical history. The two previously collaborated on More Than Gold, released in 2019, a song that became one of the recognisable worship releases associated with Judikay’s musical journey. Their latest offering brings them together again, seven years later, for a song that shifts the focus towards thanksgiving and celebrating the faithfulness of God.
Judikay had earlier shared the heart behind the release in an Instagram announcement, writing:
“The testimony of the faithfulness of our God is too weighty to be quiet about.”
She further described the song as a sound of thanksgiving that declares one thing loudly: EKELE GI! Her words captured the spirit behind the collaboration, pointing to the importance of giving God praise for His goodness and the testimonies believers carry.
Adding to the excitement, the collaboration has also arrived with an official music video, released on Judikay’s official YouTube channel, giving the song a visual presentation alongside its availability on streaming platforms. Ekele Gi (Your Praise)
Both singers have established themselves as influential voices in contemporary Nigerian gospel music. Mercy Chinwo is widely celebrated for worship favourites such as Excess Love, while Judikay has connected with believers through songs including Capable God and Man of Galilee.
With Ekele Gi (Your Praise), the two ministers bring their distinct vocal expressions together once more, offering a song that places gratitude at the centre of worship.
The message is simple but powerful: when the testimonies of God’s faithfulness are too weighty to keep quiet, praise becomes the natural response.
