Hy everyone! Welcome to AFRITUNES week 197. I'm mksheddy, a passionate singer and pianist. Today I will be singing Ekwueme by Prosper Ochimana.
This is an Igbo song that say "God says and does". This simple means that when God says a thing he will surely do it.
I pray that this song will bless you.
Lyrics:
Onye Nwe anyi ezitewo (Our God who sent)
