Things turned worse for celebrated musician, Papa Cidy real names Hamidu Sekyeru, who was expelled from Leone Island recently. This was the second time he is being expelled from the crew that brought him into the limelight.
Worse still, this came at a time when he was struggling to make a comeback. In such a situation, what would one do?
To Cidy, the only way to get out of his current situation is by becoming a ‘born again’, through the ongoing and much publicised prayers, ‘77 DOGS’.
Like many of his peers, Cidy turned up at Pastor Kayanja’s church for prayers to the excitement of the pastor.
“Hamidu Sekyeru (Papa Cidy) who is a renowned musician who had been sold out to the secular world. With a Muslim background, he’s been known to be a right hand man to one of the most famous artistes in our nation. Yesterday, we rejoiced and celebrated as he came out of the crowd and publicly acknowledged Jesus as his saviour. They’re coming one by one. Our nation belongs to Jesus,” Kayanja said.
Papa Cidy was once one of the biggest musicians in the country with hits like; ‘Meme Katale’, ‘Tolina Kisa’, ‘Evalina’ to mention a few.
Others to have become ‘born again’ at the same venue was Qute Kaye, who was also a big name in the music industry. They were also joined by comedians; Eddie Kigere and Kapere of Amarula Family, formerly the biggest comedy outfit in the country. It’s popularly remembered for its comedy series on WBS TV and Bukedde TV. It’s also remembered for its annual fete, ‘Akabadi K’Omwaka’. But like all those mentioned above, the group is struggling too.
