Some Nigerian musicians have moved from doing secular music to doing gospel music.

To them, however, it's not just a venture but they claim to have been "called by God", "anointed" or they have "given their lives to Christ".

Following the recent trend, MyNigeria.com has compiled the names of some famous Nigerian musicians that have transitioned from secular to gospel music.
