AFRI-TUNES WEEK 74 --- OMEKANAYA (Cover)
A beautiful hello to everyone here, I hope we're all doing well in our various locations?
It's another week of participation and I'm quite excited to be a participant in this week's edition. I'd be presenting a song titled "OMEKANAYA" by Mercy Chinwo, which is in Igbo dialect meaning "A replica of his father or when he/she behaves like the father".
The Bible Even recorded in the book of John 14:8-11 that "Philip, Jesus replied, 'after I have been with you all these time, you still don't know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father (God)".
Apparently, no one can have access to God without going through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. I really love this song so much and that's why I have decided to share it with my fellow hivers today.. Seat back and be relaxed as you enjoy my rendition..
