She is also known to have attended the University of Uyo where she bagged a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.

The Couple’s Love Story Started In Church

When Sarah met Nathaniel Bassey, he was not the famous gospel celebrity he is today. He was not well known or even rich. According to reports, Nathaniel Bassey met her when he was ministering at her church, where she was serving in the protocol. Sarah was one of the protocol members that assisted him while on an evangelistic tour to Eket, Akwa Ibom. Although the entire love story still remains vague, it is believed that the pair connected during that visit, and the budding gospel singer recalled telling her that he loved God and worked hard and that if she agreed to marry him, he will take her away from the Mkpok local government and they will travel the world touching people for Christ.

This was definitely not the typical kind of marriage proposal, coupled with the fact that the man in question had what can be best described as a ‘rickety car’. Many people also thought Nathaniel Bassey had nothing to offer Sarah but she went on to marry him and her faith and belief in him eventually paid off. According to Sarah, she laughed about how when she first met Bassey, he was stealing glances at her through the mirror and how he gradually became a vital part of her existence several years later.

Although she has not outrightly stated the capacity she operates in, she has hinted on several occasions that she loved working for her husband and would not trade that for anything in the world.

As of now, Sarah hasn’t collaborated on any of her husband’s songs, but she intends to do so in future productions. She also supports her husband’s very popular online #Hallelujah challenge. This is also needful because as a pastor’s wife, she has to be involved in ministry work, and in line with that, she is a well-known advocate of non-premarital sex – a crucial principle in courtship which her husband supports. Sarah has actually carved out a niche for herself which involves inspiring and motivating young women to keep themselves pure and chaste before marriage.

The Basseys Are Blessed With 2 Children

Although not much is known about their kids, it’s been gathered that their son, David was born in February 2014 and their daughter arrived a few years later. As of now, the kids are quite young so one can tell if they will end up on the same career path as their dad but it might just be possible with both parents being music enthusiasts.

The lovebirds once took to social media to detail how their relationship has grown since they met – this was shared when they celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary in 2020.

Bassey Faced Criticisms For Choosing The Gospel Genre

Prior to becoming a gospel star, Nathaniel and his wife faced ridicule because he abandoned his very lucrative Jazz career that was bringing him international recognition to become a gospel artist and work in the church. All things being equal, Nathaniel Bassey could have continued in his Jazz music career, but he suddenly began to have a deep yearning within him more than the ordinary. He sensed that his musical talents were beyond just him, but a tool to worship, honor, and bring men to God.

This began a new level of born-again experience for Nathaniel Bassey; and with the mentorship and guidance of Late Pastor Eskor Mfon, the former Pastor of The Redeemed Christian Church Of God, City Of David Parish, he made a transition and a gospel music ministry was born. Though he was ridiculed by friends and some family members for the change in his music career path, Nathaniel Bassey decided to follow the call within him and his wife Sarah, stood by him in support all through.
