Nigerian singer Raoul Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has credited his breakthrough in music to a prayer he made during the 2013 Shiloh programme of Living Faith Church, also called Winners’ Chapel.
At the time, Skales was facing a difficult period in his career following the expiration of his contract with Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment (EME).
According to him, things turned around after fellow artiste Timaya took him to Shiloh.

The singer recalled that participants were instructed to write down seven requests they wanted God to answer.
In his case, he repeatedly asked for one thing — a global hit song.
Skales said his prayer was answered with his 2015 smash single Shake Body, which has recently gained fresh global attention after Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal and some of his teammates were spotted dancing to it.
Sharing the testimony on his X handle on Thursday, he wrote: “In 2013 @timayatimaya took me to Shiloh and we were told to write down 7 things we are praying for and I wrote a song that will take me to the ends of the world 7 times … fast forward till today he gave me a divine unending song … when they think it’s over another thing pops up about this damn song… Lord Jesus thank you.”
