Nigerian singer Chidozie Godsfavour Ugochinyere, popularly known as Fave, has expressed confusion over advice from concert promoters who had discouraged her from holding her birthday concert because it would fall on Ramadan.
Fave had planned to stage her first-ever concert in Nigeria on her birthday, March 13, 2026, but revealed that several promoters were hesitant, citing Ramadan, which is expected to run from February 18 to March 19, 2026.
Sharing her frustration on social media, the singer questioned why shows would not be allowed during the religious period.
“So I was trying to do a show in Nigeria on my birthday this year, but they’re telling me shows aren’t allowed during Ramadan? I’m a little confused,” she tweeted.
Fave, who is a Christian and grew up in southern Nigeria, said she only became familiar with Ramadan practices in her late teens.
While stressing her respect for all religions, she made it clear that she still hopes to celebrate her birthday with a concert.
“I started this year wanting to do my first show in Nigeria on my birthday as an independent artiste, and back-to-back, promoters kept sending word to my team saying the same thing. I grew up in the south and never heard of Ramadan practices till I was in my late teens. I respect all religions, but I’m Christian and I really want to do this on my birthday. If you’re reading this and are open to organise, I’d be so happy,” she wrote.
Her comments have since generated mixed reactions online. While some fans encouraged her to proceed with the concert, others cautioned that hosting a show during Ramadan could impact attendance and ticket sales.
