Meet the Apostle of Gospel Rap! – Spokesman

When the story of gospel rap in Nigeria is told, one name will always echo with power, humility, and divine purpose — Jeremiah Samuel Aluwong, popularly known as Spokesman.

Born on 13th March in Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Spokesman is Kagoro by tribe and a proud son of Northern Nigeria. Today, he is not only celebrated as a gifted gospel rap minister but also as a lecturer, preacher, husband, father, and mentor to countless young people across the nation.

Early Life and Education of Spokesman

Spokesman grew up in Kaduna where his foundational years shaped his discipline and character. He attended Capital School Kaduna for his primary education and later proceeded to Federal Government College, Kaduna for his secondary studies.

His academic journey continued at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he graduated with a B.Sc in Agricultural Economics. Not stopping there, he further obtained a Postgraduate Diploma, proving that his pursuit of knowledge goes hand in hand with his pursuit of purpose.

Family Life

Career and Ministry of Spokesman

Though trained as a lecturer by profession, Spokesman carries a divine mandate that transcends academics. He is a man called into evangelical ministry and missions, with a crystal-clear vision: to preach God’s Word in its truest and purest form, and a mission: to see men submit and live to the glory of God.

For over 13 years, Spokesman has consistently blazed the trail in gospel rap music, carving a niche for himself as one of Nigeria’s most respected Christian lyricists. His music is not just art; it is a weapon of warfare, a channel of hope, and a vessel of apostolic fire.

Music and Impact

With his unique blend of rap and deep scriptural lyrics, Spokesman has risen to become a lyrical heavyweight in the gospel music scene. His songs speak to the soul, challenging, inspiring, and awakening a generation to the reality of Christ.

Some of his most powerful releases include:

• Breakable Me
• Who Are You to Judge Me
• Against All gods
• Last of a Dying Breed
• Iron to Zion
• Kingdom Come

These songs, and many more, have cemented his reputation as a true minister of the Word through music. He is widely regarded as “The Apostle of Rap”, not for titles, but for the evident apostolic grace that flows whenever he ministers.

Missions and Evangelism

One of the most inspiring aspects of Spokesman’s life is his burden for the lost. His ministry extends beyond the stage and the studio — deep into the “jungles” and strongholds of darkness.

In his own words about a mission field called Chicago in Kakuri, Kaduna State:

“Honestly, ‘Chicago’ has been the toughest and most demanding jungle I have been. There isn’t a single Christian there. Sharing the gospel is seen as volatile and offensive, yet the boys have warmly welcomed us. We go there weekly to pray, talk Word, and share hundreds of Bibles. Please pray for us, that Christ may be revealed in this place.”

This raw passion for evangelism has made him not just an artist, but a frontline soldier in God’s army, reaching souls in the most dangerous corners with the light of Christ.

Mentorship and Legacy

Beyond his music and missions, Spokesman is also a mentor to countless upcoming gospel rappers in Nigeria. Many see him as a role model and arrowhead of gospel rap in the nation, a mantle he carries with humility.

His ministry has proven that rap is not worldly when sanctified by the Word, but a potent tool to win souls and disciple young people. Through his life, he has redefined what it means to be a Christian rapper — not an entertainer, but a preacher with a beat.

Conclusion

From the lecture halls of ABU Zaria to the rough terrains of mission fields, from the stage lights of gospel concerts to the quiet place of intercession, Spokesman has lived as a vessel set apart for God’s glory.

He remains an icon of gospel rap, a Bible lyricist, a missionary, a husband, a father, and above all, a servant of Jesus Christ.

Thank you, Spokesman, for being a gift to the body of Christ and for showing us that the gospel can be preached with fire, even through rap.
