From sleeping on the floor with my siblings single handedly raised by my mum who does not have primary school education to me now Msc in nursing, working and living in Yankee, owing a house and cars. What else can I say, all the glory and adoration is for my God, my creator I thank you.
May God continues to bless you and your household. May God bless sweet mummy, may she live long more if she is still alive. If not, may her soul rest in perfect peace. But my prayer is that she should be alive to eat the fruits of her labor more in good health. Continue to prosper in all your endeavors.
Im a Muslim turkish girl born and raised in Germany and I love this song. I pray for the black people, the whole of Africa. I believe Africa will come out of the ashes and rise, such a huge young population! the time is coming, the next economic giants won't be US and Europe anymore but Asia and Africa. I love African music, I believe deep in my heart that every human on earth is touched by Africa and African music. There is something so raw and real about it, Africa is engraved in our DNA, first time I touched African soil I felt so unexplainably home, I felt like my soul was shouting MAMMA AFRICA !!!!
2014... I heard this song for the first time in my friend's car as we were driving on Third Mainland bridge. He is now with God. I remember you always, Busayo... Enjoy heaven bro
This song isn't just about Ojuelegba Its about all about Africa from the townships in south Africa to all the ghettos in east Africa and west Africa Love from Juba south Sudan
As an ivorian girl, witnessing wizkid success is amazing to me. I remember when he became famous in Africa before this song and seeing him going worldwide right now is amazing
I can't stop listening to this. I'm from Houston & I don't speak the language but I love Wizkid & several others. African music is better than American music. A breath of fresh air.
It’s something spiritual behind this song, I was ill for 2 months with chronic fatigue syndrome and some other weird stuff… also having heart issues over a year since I had Covid. Today was the 1st day I felt alive and normal. This song came on and I just started dancing & praising God with a grateful & free heart.. the Spirit of God was all over me & this song is so deep & powerful!!! 🙌🏽 Thank you for such a Divine song… can’t wait to rise up again and dance with my new heart… when he say, “CALL ON DADDY!” I felt that
From rags to riches. When papa left us alone from the cradle. And we slept on empty stomach, praying for better living. Then one day, Jesus stepped in...... So that He changed the story. Papa, your son is matured now and he is taking care of the younger siblings you left behind. RIP papa. Ojuelegba, they know my story
This song gat me thanking God for life. Still can"t explain how God picked me from Bariga, Lagos to Texas, US and still got me a white collar job. God pls let your blessings go round the world.
@@mariahbickford5849 I don't Understand Am African from Kenya But Olua means GOD the living GOD THAT'S enough for me the way Wizkid says call on DADDY AM fatherless on earth But I Have a DAD in heaven that Loves me and I call on DADDY EVERY BREATH I TAKE Am born Again I can't even explain how I survived everything I been through to date But GOD never left me even for a minute 🙏🏼I can't explain
For 8 years growing up as a child ( 3 years in primary school and 5 years in secondary school), I took the bus from Lawanson through Ojuelegba to Ebutte Metta ( for primary school education) or to Yaba (Secondary school education). Wizkid, I can relate very much to your story. It was real hussle getting into the kombi buses at rush hour. You are so right, it was the prayers of our parents that saw us through.Today,I am an MD in the US and keep thanking God daily for life as you do. I cannot explain God’s grace either. His grace is just too wonderful and beyond our understanding! This is a song inspired from above.I am glad my son shared this song with me in 2021. I had to explain the yoruba words to him.Thank you again, wiz kid!
Anytime I am on the bus in Lagos along Lawanson-Itire road, I remember this song and how me and wifey went from being homeless to having workers we are paying salaries in five states in Nigeria in a space of a decade. What a great God we serve.
Each time I comment on this hit, it’s with tears in my eyes. My first years in college I fell for music and I had a friend that always took me to the American song type but I kept coming back for Afro music back then in 2006/2007. Then lost my dad few years after then this song came out. Each time in the market with my mom seeing her struggling for our school fees and others I’ll come back in the evening play the disk in the dvd while crying. I’ll say to myself GOD just like this people in Ojouelegba know wizkids’s story I pray the people in Marché B will know my story. God we’re heading there ……✍🏽 still in tears but will be tears of joy. I’ll just do a 365 thanks to God and this master piece from Wizkid. People don’t know what they do to people through music.
I love this song bring tears to my eyes .....African American who acknowledge her African Roots . I'm proud to be black. To all my Africans everywhere and in the diaspora we are family. I love my people ❤
It's our story, the struggle, the hope and for some the success. It's the story of all Africans all over the world. For those still struggling don't give up. success will come. When you feel low just come and listen to this great masterpiece.
Born and grew up 5 minutes from Ojuelegba. My work places revolves around Ojuelegba. What a landmark! It’s 11.30pm in New Jersey listening to this song making me nostalgic
As a Yemeni girl raised in London, I went to teach in Lagos after I graduated and loved this place. Years later I married a Nigerian guy, we are no longer together, but had a son . Honestly Nigerians are hard working , but successive governments are failed them all. Knowing it's a resource rich country, the poverty I saw pains me to this day 25 years on
Funny enough, I'm a Nigerian guy raised in London who wants to help in Yemen after my Yemeni friend explained the hell so many Yemenis are going through while the world turns a blind eye. 😢😢😢
@@easyware It is the forgotten war, so many are profiteering by selling weapons to those who are decimating the country. The British and Americans make billions by selling weapons to the Saudis, and the Iranians want to expand their influence in the region. I wish they would leave the Yemeni people alone to rule themselves for once in their history.
In my opinion, this is his best song. It's got the rhythm and it's about the struggle in his hometown then finally becoming successful. Good music and deep meaning.
This song always gets me teary, i remember my early days of hustle after secondary school , it wasn’t easy, but today am in a better place and i believe I will keep soaring, this is not the end,thanks to my mom for always believing in me ❤❤.
From Drinking Garri that year in Mushin Lagos, when this song ist Dropped , See me dey Yankee now they Enjoy on Soft, chai Oluwa, do am for my people too 🙏 🙏
I thank lord this song pushed me to work hardest for my family ❤❤❤ and am heading to be one of the greatest fashion television presenter, fashion Mc, fashion reporter of all times on planet earth, here in Uganda, Kampala, East Africa, Africa
Cameroon, Nigeria, Congo, Gabon, Ivory coast, Chad, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Togo, Ghana, Liberia, Tanzania, all Africa must understand that it is Africa that wins I love Africa 🇨🇲🇳🇬🇷🇴🇸🇳🇹🇬🇬🇼🇨🇮🇨🇩🇨🇫🇱🇷 all Africa 🤝🤝🤝
Africa is not a country, this is Nigerian music!!!, it is quite patronising when people always bunch Africa together, Africa is a continent with over 50 countries, different languages, different cultures, different music, different looks.
+lia partel chill, I don't understand why you arguing. He said he never said country he said culture, and since Nigeria happens to be a part of Africa. I think it is fair to say its songs are a part of African culture.
I am Jamaican who's never wanted to visit anywhere in Africa....until I started watching Nigerian movies on Netflix and discovered Wizkid's music. Now, I am planning a trip to Nigeria and the rest of mama Africa. I dunno a single soul on the entire continent...but dammit I'm going.
serlom cole that idiot's comment wasn't even directed at you, that person is a troll. but you're trying to use that as a justification to insult Nigeria?, take your anger somewhere else, this is a Naija zone!
This was the first Afrobeats song I came across almost 10 years ago on Tumblr. I had it on repeat for weeks and slowly started building up an Afrobeats playlist from there. 10 years later Afrobeats takes up over 50% of my streamed music lol. A Jamaican, raised in the US who fell in love with Nigerian music lol
This song bring tears to my ears born in Haiti live in America but am African so I have to go see the motherland, because As a kid learning history my ancestors fought and defend their African ness I was always excited to learn how we fought the Zionist off with the strength giving by mama Africa.
As a Haitian u r practically a African. Look at the genetics, people, the way they talk function etc....... Haiti won a war against the French English and other European conolizers to keep there African heratiage. Before ancestry.com was around in the early 90's through blood tests and name searches my mother traced back her roots (because she's from Haiti- the northern part where there still very much intuned to there African roots i.e. still with native names and traditions. well her parents are but she was born in the uk) she found out she was a 100% pure African straight out of Nigeria in the delta state and part of the uroboh tribe. So yes visit African and be intuned with your people. Respect
This song made me cry over and over again. I lived and grew up in Ojuelegba. I know exactly what he is singing about. The song brought me to tears because of what GOD has done, literally. It just opened up a flood of memories, good times, great friends and people i grew up with in Ojuelegba. Believe it or not, Wizkid once sat in my (tiny) living room when he first started trying to get his music heard. Little did we know. GOD has really shone his face upon this guys work. Good job, Wiz. Praying for you buddy. ~ With love - from the US of A.
RIP TO HIS MUM . Didn’t come because of that , only came here because I have been in prison since 2015 only came out 3 days ago. Just Thanking GOD for life . Show me some love and likes ❤❤❤❤❤. Most importantly sending our prayers to big wiz 💕💕
Right from birth, we listen to beat arrangement, how people react to the beat and our cultural duty to make our parents proud from mothers/fathers to Grandparent and great Grand including all the stories we have been told about surviving through art and reflection.
Tsholo...I cried when my baby girl asked us to play this song for her INTRODUCTION DAY ko Grade 1...she stood up and said" I am AMINATU a Nigerian princess who ruled the land of Zaria and I love WIZKID..."
This is one music track that I will never get tired of listing to it. Because it tells a true story of a Nigeria/ Africa Youth who is trying to move from Grass to Grace.
WizKid best song ever ,this should be placed in a Nigerian museum Wizkid goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason he is getting more hits is cuz he is just watching that short on *my channel* explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
It’s November 1st 4:30 am and just as I went downstairs to get a bottle of water to drink, this song popped in my head and I decided to look it up on here. Singing in the middle of the night with my heart open wide to God and tears streaming down my face, while thanking God for my life in spite of the challenges i have had in the last five years. This song gives me so much hope, love, joy and gratitude mixed with so many other emotions that I can’t explain... This is truly a masterpiece, his Magnum Opus, and it will forever be a timeless spiritual song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im not Nigerian so I don't understand what he's saying, but I can feel his emotions through the music and the video. I love seeing black people rising out of the ghetto and poverty. 💯
Mikdad Mahmoud you couldnt read to save your life, all I said is I like seeing black ppl making it out the ghetto because a large percentage of us live in poverty. dumbass
+Chase Cash STFU, he maybe did not mean to be insulting but that's exactly what he did so i can perfectly understand why Mikdad Mahmoud did not like it.
African American in the house!!! The music Nigerians make alwayss gets me to feel like im somehow seeing a glimpse of the heritage that was taken from us! I don't know... I CAN"T EXPLAIN!!!!Much love for my African, Afro - Arab and Carribean brothas and sistas!!! BLACK LOVE, BLACK POWER, BLACK PRIDE!!!
Mike Fulahope The best advice is for African Americans to visit Africa.. Start with Ghana or Gambia as they are quiet and then try Nigeria...amazing country but can be dangerous if you dont know anyone ...
😭😭😭😭the last 3years have been the most challenging ever. But he who is above reminded me that his more than able to make the impossible possible. This song is just that. Celebrate every setback and milestone they all have a place in your destiny.

Yes sir. This song brings tears to my eyes too. If it doesn't then you may not be very AfroConcious!!!!
The BRIDGE 54 watt place u live to USA
This song made me cry over and over again. I lived and grew up in Ojuelegba. I know exactly what he is singing about.
The song brought me to tears because of what GOD has done, literally. It just opened up a flood of memories, good times, great friends and people i grew up with in Ojuelegba.
Believe it or not, Wizkid once sat in my (tiny) living room when he first started trying to get his music heard. Little did we know. GOD has really shone his face upon this guys work.
Good job, Wiz. Praying for you buddy.
~ With love - from the US of A.
adupe

Right from birth, we listen to beat arrangement, how people react to the beat and our cultural duty to make our parents proud from mothers/fathers to Grandparent and great Grand including all the stories we have been told about surviving through art and reflection.
Where is Tanzania
Ojuelegba is the greatest afrobeat song ever
Anyone here in November 2024?😫😫😭🤍

Yeah ❤
We’re here🎉
Me
I dey here o🥺
He performed this as the last song at his concert during the made in Lagos tour. Amazing song and great way to end the night. Love you Starboy!!!!
My Favorite Song On The Made In Lagos Documentary
im sorry but this is the best song by any african artist ever & this is coming from a south african resident, thank you Starboy
You must not know Fela Kuti
Kish B. I feel it’s one of the best ever. It’s a jam no cap
U must not know Davido
I can't get over the lyrics. I'm South African but my heart understands each and every emotion evoked on this track🔥🔥🔥
Tsholo...I cried when my baby girl asked us to play this song for her INTRODUCTION DAY ko Grade 1...she stood up and said" I am AMINATU a Nigerian princess who ruled the land of Zaria and I love WIZKID..."
Who is here in December 2024, Never forget where you came from, lets keep on hustling, the enemy is poverty
6 years later and it’s still a banger
I swear... ❤❤❤
I swear sis😁
6?? try like 8
I understand what you mean
Yeah you right about that this song will always be my best
i hear fela all over this song. i love the vibe and the drums. just amazing.
Bemsi Wallang Yes Fela!!
Me too :)
Bemsi Wallang he even did feel dance.. i like it
+Bemsi Wallang Absolutely!
I always hear fela s music in his songs
This is one music track that I will never get tired of listing to it. Because it tells a true story of a Nigeria/ Africa Youth who is trying to move from Grass to Grace.
Very true, i can listen to it more than 200 times it makes me feel so good and thankful to God
The streets are rough but we soldier on
Dat exactly
WizKid best song ever ,this should be placed in a Nigerian museum
Wizkid goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason he is getting more hits is cuz he is just watching that short on *my channel* explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
Ojuelegba redefined Afrobeats and paved the way for a new flow of music.
It literally put Afrobeats on the world map once again.
Still the best track from Wizkid, a real gem
joanpenche I agree

We here
It’s November 1st 4:30 am and just as I went downstairs to get a bottle of water to drink, this song popped in my head and I decided to look it up on here. Singing in the middle of the night with my heart open wide to God and tears streaming down my face, while thanking God for my life in spite of the challenges i have had in the last five years. This song gives me so much hope, love, joy and gratitude mixed with so many other emotions that I can’t explain...
This is truly a masterpiece, his Magnum Opus, and it will forever be a timeless spiritual song.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Im not Nigerian so I don't understand what he's saying, but I can feel his emotions through the music and the video. I love seeing black people rising out of the ghetto and poverty. 💯
Stfu not every African is poor ..u probably African too
Mikdad Mahmoud you couldnt read to save your life, all I said is I like seeing black ppl making it out the ghetto because a large percentage of us live in poverty. dumbass
+Chase Cash STFU, he maybe did not mean to be insulting but that's exactly what he did so i can perfectly understand why Mikdad Mahmoud did not like it.
Ghetto is Not the issue how many People are so unhappy despite millions how many commit suicide even when they have all worldly riches?
mwendapoleee there are just as many if not more poor people who commit suicide because they lack money
I am always humbled by this song. I play it to remind of the Majesty of God 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love love ❤️🔥.
