Hello friends, welcome to Afri-tunes community week #166. My name is mamab, I am so excited to be part of the community where we have the privilege of sharing our African songs. I want to salute the efforts of the moderators in keeping the community lively.
It has not been easy to keep up with the weekly posts but I make efforts anytime I find small space to put something together.
On this edition, I did something special. I've been using English and Hausa majorly but today I decided to go into one of the indigenous tribes of Nasarawa State called Eggon to pick an old chorus I grew up to know.
I decided to give the song the title "Agivye" which means we are grateful. The song is actually the translation of a popular Hausa song. What the song is saying is it is because of Jesus that we have reached today. Some people may be tempted to think sometimes that it is because they planned their lives, eat healthy and stock things and money that they alive.
There are times that all the plans doesn't work if not for the mercies of God. The song is reminding us that it is because of God's love and kindness that we are where we are, alive and moving.
I am specially calling on @ovye10, @fasacity, @joseph2014 and other Nasarawa indigenes to join me in the singing.
I've not heard @chidistickz singing in any language apart from English and Hausa before 🤔. Maybe this will encourage and challenge him to begin to enter into some Nigerian tribes like Igbo and others 😁.
I will see you guys in the next post, I'm out.
Thanks for checking 🙏
