Greetings to the Afritunes community! I know it's been a minute, but such is life. I'm glad to be participating in the Afritunes weekly event, Week 151, today.
I should have posted my entry of this cover last week when it was suggested as the community's secular song. However, due to situations beyond my control, I wasn't able to go ahead with it.
Instead, I decided to sing it today.
After checking this week's suggestions, I realized I wasn't familiar with the songs and didn't have another one planned. So, I went with the previous secular song suggestion, "African Queen" by 2baba.
While singing this song, I kept asking myself if I should be singing it due to the controversy surrounding 2Face Idibia and his wife. I don't fully understand the situation, but it's disheartening to see marriages fail. It feels like the devil is trying to make marriage seem like a contract that leads to regret.
Marriage is a beautiful institution that should be cherished and nurtured. It's sad to see couples give up on each other, especially when they have been together for a long time. I believe that with commitment, love, and understanding, couples can overcome any obstacle.
That's not why I'm here, though. I hope you enjoy listening to my cover of this song. I plan to participate more often in the Afritunes community, God willing.
I played the instrumental of the song live from YouTube and sang along. You can find the link to it here.
Also, you can find the lyrics of the song here.
