Hi Fam Welcome to Afritunes week 72. I'm delighted as always to join this week's entry.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=didiee/iementpg

Hi fam! 😍

Welcome to AfriTunes week 71. I'm glad because I'm able to partake in this week's entry. I've been so busy! I feel like I don't even have a life anymore. Second semester examination has commenced in my school. You're confused right? I was too.

I concluded my first semester examination on the 10th of May. Around 14th may, the second semester began, so we spent roughly 2 months and a few weeks in the second semester.

The timetable is crazy. Below is my calendar. The dates dotted are days scheduled for my examinations. You can see that there's a point where I have an examination everyday for a week. It's crazy! I felt like crying but there's no time for that.

I'm using this opportunity to apologize ahead of time just in case I vanish again.

On my quest to share amazing African Tunes with y'all, today I'm presenting a very soothing Yoruba gospel song. Just as I've been doing recently, I've tried to incorporate Yoruba language in my presentation again.

This song speaks of the qualities of God and how words are not enough to describe Him. God is forever to be trusted. Sometimes When I speak of his awesomeness, people get lost. A few times that I've been opportuned to share the word with people who are unbelieving, I've always prayed that they experience the kind of miracles that I have so they can understand where I'm coming from.

A part if the song says: "there's nothing You cannot do

There's no mountain you cannot move

If He has said it then He will do it

You have a track record of keeping words

And you're not about to stop doing it now"

Wow! 😭

This song had me reflecting on the numerous miracles I've encountered. It took me back to the years I sought for admission. Writing JAMB 5 good times broke me. I felt useless. After trying twice, I decided to find a job. A year letter I was employed at the school I applied to. I wrote JAMB again, seeking admission to study Law. I didn't get it. My scores dropped each time.

I started working as a class assistant which I applied for. I was so small. The job turned out to be my biggest nightmare. I was given additional tasks such as cleaning, Washing toilets. It was hectic. I ran errands in and out of school. I considered resigning a lot of times but because I didn't want to be idle.

A year later at that school, I learnt a great deal, I started covering for teachers on their sick days irrespective of the class. I held home lessons for kids who had some challenges and just like that, a passion for education grew and I applied to study English Education. The admission came so late, a month after school had resumed. My name reflected on the VC's list. VC, I don't know. Who worked out my admission? I can't tell.

There and then it dawned on me that oftentimes waiting on God is a good thing. It might not make sense to you why what you desperately need is so far away but it will make sense much later.

I have shared this story a few times from different perspectives, today I'm encouraging you to hold on because God is mighty and there's nothing he can't change. I hope you enjoy my presentation.

# Lyrics

# Olorun Agbaye

You are Good, you are kind

You are more than these

I'm lost for Words trying to describe you

Elohim, El-elyon, Aleselewi

Your Greatness is all I see

There is nothing you cannot do

There's no mountain you cannot move

If you have said it

Then you will do it

Cause You have a Track record

Of keeping Words

And you're not about

To stop doing it now

Olorun Agbaye oh

(You are Mighty oh)

Olorun Agbaye oh, oh

(You are Mighty oh)

Shebi iwo lo f'oju Orun

(S'aso bora)

Shebi eyin le f'oju Orun

(S'aso bora)

Olorun Agbaye oh,

(You are Mighty oh)

You are mighty o

By the Blood that you shed

We have overcome

Discharged and acquitted for life

Then you gave us the right

To your Holy Name

The center of Power and Strength

There is nothing you cannot Change

There's no bondage you cannot Break

If you have said it

Then you will do it

You have a Track record

Of keeping Words

And you're not about

To stop doing it now

Olorun Agbaye oh,

(You are mighty oh)

Olorun Agbaye oh, oh

(You are mighty oh)

Olorun agbaye oh

(You are mighty oh)

Olorun agbaye oh

(You are mighty oh)

Shebi iwo lo f'oju Orun

Hi fam! 😍

Welcome to AfriTunes week 69. I'm beyond pleased to be able to partake in this week's entry. I lost my voice due to stress. From choir rehearsal to singing during an all night event, to singing on Sunday. My voice was stressed so I couldn't speak or try to make a presentation earlier. My voice is back now, though not fully but at least I could record this video.

AfriTunes community as we all know is a community where we share and promote amazing African songs weekly. This community has challenged me in many ways like having to research and listen to varieties of African music, learning them, understanding their meanings and learning other languages as well. Recently I've been trying to incorporate a lot of local dialects in my presentation. That's because in my opinion, a song isn't just African because an African sang it.

It's the musical instrument used, it's the language, it's the message, it's whatever portrays Africa.

This week I decided to pick a Yoruba song which has a few English words as well. Victoria Orenze who is the artist that owns the song is a powerhouse of amazing, powerful, soothing christian music. I loved this song instantly.

The song says that whoever thinks evil of me, my father will fight my battle. Whoever comes to destroy me will meet my father at home 🔥. This song screams trust, confidence, and the next level kind of faith! The lyrics are so powerful.

From the moment I heard the song, I just said to myself "Fear, it's over". Meaning that there's no more room for fear, anxiety, sleeplessness cos I get backing! So if you're looking for a gospel song to keep your faith and confidence in place, this is a valid recommendation.

# Lyrics

# I Get Backing - Victoria Orenze

Hello friends, happy new week to us all. Today, having considered the theme of the week which says 'Music for Children', I'm presenting an Acapella of the song Kuchi Kuchi by Jodie.

Kuchi is a very interesting song even though I don't really know what Kuchi means. The song talks about the connection between a mother and her baby. Throughout the song, the singer adores her baby, she speaks of their striking resemblance and the different emotions she experiences because of her child.

Motherhood is such a beautiful experience. I think it's lovely to just have 'a bundle of joy and trouble' looking back at you, imitating you, tugging at your clothes, clinging to you and growing into a younger version of you.

# Jodie - Kuchi Kuchi (O Baby)

When I wake up, wake up in the morning

I see your lovely face

Your checks like butter honey from a tea cup

You take my breath away

Your pretty little fingers so tender like petals from the morning gloom

Your laughter, a joy to remember, heaven has blessed me with you

The very day you came to me, my whole life became brand new, eh-eh

Because of you, eh-eh

Oh baby, oh baby

I see me in your eyes

Oh baby, oh baby

I see love in your smile

You tell me kuchi kuchi ahhh

I understand

You tell me kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh baby, my baby, eh

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh my baby, pretty baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

In the middle of the night, I wake up

When I hear you cry

It seems something binds us together, supernatural

I can hardly live a moment without you, eh-eh

Because of you, eh-eh

Oh baby, oh baby

I see me in your eyes

Oh baby, oh baby

I see love in your smile

You tell me kuchi kuchi ahhh

I understand

You tell me kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Eh, oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Eh, oh baby, my baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh, my baby, pretty baby, eh-eh

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

You make me cry, laughter is not enough

I've seen true beauty because I see you, eh-eh

Oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Eh, oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Eh, oh baby, my baby (oh baby, I love you)

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh, my baby, pretty baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Eh, oh baby, oh baby

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Eh, oh baby, my baby (I love you, I love you, eh)

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Oh my baby, pretty baby (I love you, I love you, baby)

Kuchi kuchi ahhh

Hello everyone, welcome to AfriTunes week 68. Today I'm excited to share with you all a song by Victoria Orenze titled Shalom. The song speaks of God as a source of peace.

Life is crazy at the moment. People are dying here and there, strange things are happening. Students are missing, some dying as well. Today, a friend told me about a final year course mate of his that just died. The lady is said to have gone for a tour with fellow students and they were in a boat and it turned over. The students were rescued but they realized that some people were missing and by the time they got back to save them, they had died.

It shook me. The story of the submarine too. School stress, denands, personal needs. A lot can make us lose our peace but somehow I'm still alive, still sane, still moving on, tired but not giving up. I can only boast of these because Jehovah is shalom, my peace!

Personally I'm so hot tempered. I'm easily triggered by certain things so each time that rage comes up upon me I just remember the word "shalom". I sing this song repeatedly whenever I'm down and it really works.

I hope you key into this song and I pray your testimony of peace will come, Amen.

# Shalom - Victoria Orenze

Through the Fire

Through the Raging Storm

I will not Lose my PEACE

Through the Valley

Through the Sweeping Floods

I will Hold to my PEACE

[Pre – Chorus]

Nothing Broken

Nothing Missing

You have it in Control

Nothing Broken

Nothing Missing

You have it in Control

[Chorus]

SHALOM, SHALOM

Jehovah my PEACE

SHALOM, SHALOM

Jehovah my PEACE

[Repeat Verse]

Through the Fire

Through the Raging Storm

I will not Loose my PEACE

Through the Valley

Through the Sweeping Floods

I will Hold to my PEACE

Through the Fire

Through the Raging Storm

I will not Loose my PEACE

Through the Valley

Through the Sweeping Floods

I will Hold to my PEACE

[Pre – Chorus]

Nothing Broken

Nothing Missing

You have it in Control

Nothing Broken

Nothing Missing

You have it in Control

Shalom, Shalom

Jehovah, my peace.

Shalom, Shalom

Jehovah, my peace.

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to be able to partake in this week's Creative Sunday initiative. I have chosen to sing a song from the movie Titanic, which is currently trending due to the missing and subsequent implosion of the submarine that was built to tour the sunken Titanic Ship.

The news said that the people who went on the tour paid over $250,000 to tour the sunken ship on the sub and that these people are notable billionaires too.

I felt so emotional. I watched a clip where the teenage boy's aunt revealed that the boy didn't want to go on the trip but obliged just to please his Dad for Father's day.

The lady I spoke about in the video is Renata. She said she saved for 30 years to see Titanic. At the time, no one knew where it was so she decided to find it. During her first week in school, people found it and so she switched her course to banking.

https://fb.watch/lo3xdF8TQL/

Contrary to what I said in my video, she wasn't among the people who went on the submarine. The video clip didn't say if she later went or not. But just like her, I don't know why others went but my heart goes to the young boy, he had a whole life ahead of him but this just happened.

The song I'm singing speaks of a lost love. Someone you value who's no longer with you. Like it's said in the song, you can only see them in your dreams and feed on the memories you created while they were alive. I guess this is the only way to connect with them now.

I hope the souls of the ones lost rest in peace and their families be comforted.

# My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more, you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I'd hold to

In my life, we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on (why does the heart go on?)

Once more, you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart and

My heart will go on and on

Good day friends of the Afri-Tunes Community. It's yet again another lovely week to present amazing African Tunes and enjoy the performances of others too.

This week, I chose a song by Chike who is an African artiste and sings mostly amazing love songs. Since the community is about promoting love and unity through African Tunes, I decided to pick this song because of the meaning, vibe and language used. The song was sung in Nigerian pidgin English and Igbo language. Funny enough, I'm not an Igbo girl but I love the language so much. I'm currently learning the language.

Just in case you didn't know, I'm a hopeless romantic, or you can call me a lover girl hence my reason for loving this song so much. In the song, Chike shares insight on how long he met the girl he's singing about and how he knew from onset that he'd marry her. He also said the universe has to know her. That is what I call intentionality. Men who date with intentions, good intentions! 😁 A real man shows off his woman because he's proud of her.

He speaks of how they complement each other that she's tender and will help calm his fierce temper and she's fire too and will keep him warm when cold. The chorus says that a beautiful lady with a good heart and a handsome man with money are hard to find and can't be found on the road. I totally agree! I still dey find this man sef😩

Chike goes on to explain that his girl has a beautiful body and he has plenty of money so she should come and eat good things…. I wish I can marry this Chike 😩 Seems like he knows how to take care of a woman. 😁

I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do. I sang the slow TikTok version because that way, you get to absorb the meaning of the song. I hope you enjoy my presentation too.

Good day friends of Hive Open Mic Community. Welcome to Hive Open Mic Week 167. The theme of the week says "Otaku".

>For Hive Open Mic 167, we will explore the following theme: "Otaku." This is a unique Japanese word describing the fans of anime. This theme is chosen by our community's recent Spotlight Artist: @eudarcabello. Everyone is encouraged to express and connect through: Otaku.

I understand this theme to mean lovers of animation. During my early childhood stage, I enjoyed a variety of animation based shows. One of my favourites of such productions is Barbie. As a lover of art and music, I was drawn by the music. I loved every bit of it and I learnt to sing along each time I watched the movie again.

I have chosen to sing one of the songs in the anime production. The title of the song is "I Need To Know".

Lyrics

Where is the land I come from?

Who lives where I was born?

Why do my memories start with a storm?

What if I have a family, somewhere beyond the sea

Could there be someone there missing me?

Tell me why I'm not sleeping cos my heart is leaping inside me

Could it be one of those times when your feelings decide.

Is that the tree he sleeps in?

What can he see from there?

Could there be new horizons to share

Why does he look through circles?

Why does he hide his feet?

Why do I feel so shy when we meet?

All these questions keep turning and churning and burning inside me?

What are these feelings I feel when you're here by my side

I need to know these answers

I need to find my way

Seize my tomorrow

Learn my yesterday

I need to take these chances

Let all my feelings show

Can't tell what's waiting

Still I need to know

I need to go

Good day everyone. I'm once again delighted to be a part of Hive Open Mic Week 166. The theme is equally very interesting and encouraging as well. Never Give Up to me is a phrase that stays stuck at the back of my mind always.

This theme is very personal to me. My birthday is coming up in exactly 5 weeks and I'm having that sick feeling again. The feeling of unenthusiasm, sadness and all. I just barely get excited about my birthday because there's a lot I feel I should accomplish at this age yet I haven't checked half of the list in the box.

I see people just burying their heads in work and they seem very fulfilled but I can't even tell what I want to do. Today I feel like I know where I'm going and tomorrow I'm as confused as hell. I could go weeks without writing or engaging in anything that should take me a step closer to my dreams.

Perhaps you feel the same way too. Your journey is probably very exhausting and you're doubting the light at the tunnel. This theme says "it's okay." I've grown to realize that no experience in this journey of life is a waste. It might not always look like a blessing or what you prayed for but its playing a big role in getting you to that dream place *so never give up!*

I chose Sia's Angel By The Wings because the song seems to be ministered to a weary soul, a hurting soul. She says: * Hold on, head up, be strong*. The lines that say *take an angel by the wings, beg her now for anything* feels to me as though she's emploring that you pray to God over what really overwhelms you and the chorus gives the song an excellent finish which relates to the theme, it says *You can do anything*. I hope we all always let this stick to our minds. Never give up!

Hi guys!

Warm welcome to week 66 of Afri-Tunes Community musical presentation. I've been in a very optimistic mood lately so I thought, "why not sing something a bit lively?". That's why I chose a song by Frank Edwards titled I No Fit To Shout.

The song is sung majorly in Nigerian pidgin English hence a good choice of African Song. This language gives the song some wit and makes it more interesting.

I chose this song because I know where I'm coming from. There were times I had to sell to eat, I had to farm under the rain, I had to beg and borrow but thankfully it's not so anymore. Now I feed myself and feed my friends as well. It's not because I have so much but because God's grace is sufficient. When I think of it all I really cannot scream (I no fit shout!)

So I beckon you all to key in and vibe to the song as well. No reason that my small dance at the end of the video o😂🤲
