Abia Radio News<\/strong> understands that the concert, which reportedly attracted over 60,000 people, was set to take place on October 2, after Bliss\u2019s earlier performance in Kenya.<\/p>\nBliss and his team planned to fly from Nairobi to Tanzania for the free event.<\/p>\n
However, upon reaching the airport, they discovered that their visas had not been approved, despite prior confirmation from the organizers.<\/p>\n
Efforts to resolve the situation included contacting various authorities across Africa and seeking intervention from government officials and ambassadors, but these attempts were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
The team was later advised to try obtaining visas on arrival in Dar es Salaam, yet Tanzanian immigration officials denied them entry when they landed at midnight.<\/p>\n
Bliss described the experience as painful, given the extensive preparation and resources invested to make the event free for attendees.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cHello my family in Tanzania. I\u2019m here in Tanzania right now, I\u2019m not just allowed to come. It\u2019s very unfortunate that I couldn\u2019t make it to worship with us today. I heard there were about 60,000 of you who came out. I\u2019m sorry, I did my best.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe made every contact possible from everywhere around Africa. We even got presidential intervention, talking to different people in government and ambassadors, but we couldn\u2019t get visas.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThey told us we would get a visa on arrival, and we landed. We\u2019ve been here now for about six hours. No way to go in, the immigration won\u2019t let us in. Apparently, no visa on arrival again for us.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s very painful because we\u2019ve been praying and looking forward to this event for so long. We\u2019ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make this event absolutely free for you to just come and worship the Lord Jesus with us.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI did everything within my power to be with you guys tonight to worship Jesus with you. They didn\u2019t let us in. We\u2019re here now in Tanzania, just waiting for the next flight to take us back to Kenya, Nairobi. Hopefully, we\u2019re able to do this next time. Thank you for your support, thank you for believing. It\u2019s fine, it is well.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cTanzania, please hear me, you were not at fault. You came out in numbers, ready for God, and that moves me deeply. I owe you not just an apology, but a promise, by God\u2019s grace, I will return.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
