Nigerian singer Chidozie Godsfavour Ugochinyere, popularly known as Fave, has shared her confusion over advice from promoters not to hold her birthday concert because it falls during Ramadan, which will run from February 18 to March 19, 2026.
Fave had planned to mark her first concert in Nigeria on her birthday, March 13, but revealed that promoters were hesitant about the timing.
“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.
The singer, a Christian who grew up in southern Nigeria, added that she only learned about Ramadan practices in her late teens.
While showing respect for all religions, Fave emphasized that she still hopes to go ahead with her celebration.
“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 so if you’re reading this and are open to organise, I’d be so happy,” she wrote.
Her tweets have sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans encouraged her to continue with her plans, while others cautioned that holding the concert during Ramadan might affect ticket sales.

@JusNuttela:”You wan do show for Abuja during Ramadan, who go go?”
@Ọmọ Akin:”They didn’t tell you shows aren’t allowed, they only advise you holding shows during Ramadan might not attract large audience. Say it as it is and stop painting a religion bad.”
@EmmawiseXP:”Nigeria is not a Muslim country…..Ramadan is only in some part of the North.”
@Swaggzeez1:”What part of Nigeria are you talking about? The last time I checked, you’re from the eastern part of the country and nobody can say you shouldn’t do a show because of @Ramadan in the East. Nobody can say you shouldn’t do a show in Lagos and every part of South West Nigeria, the same with South South and some part of North central.”
@trendset36:”Why? So if it were Drake or Justin Bieber coming, they would stop him because of Ramadan? That’s not fair at all. Come to Enugu and you’ll definitely get so much love even more than anywhere else in Nigeria.”
@JohnNetworQ:”Na Sokoto u wan go do the show?”
