PROGRAM NOTE/HISTORY
Igbo, also called Ibo, are people living chiefly in southeastern Nigeria in West Africa who speak Igbo, a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
The Igbo people have many interesting customs and traditions. With a population of around 40 million throughout Nigeria, they are one of the biggest and most influential tribes.

lyrics

Ebe Omasiri Gi (As it pleases you):
This music is a Christian folk song commonly sung among the Igbos and also very popular sung in churches among other tribes too for its popularity. The lyrics go thus:

Ebe Omasiri gi nam ga di ndu je regosi
Ebe Omasiri gi, chukwu, o ma si ri mo.
Ebe Omasiri gi nam ga di ndu run na go orun, na ra ekene.
Eke un ja bamba ki bu
Onyeoma mo, Oke chi kam na po gi
Chukwu nne yen wa, chukwu na za
Epere nine, chukwu na gbo, ori ahia
Na ra ekene, onyeoma mo

English Translation
It is your wish that I would be alive to run an errand or go on an assignment for you.
As it pleases you, oh Lord, it pleases me too
It is your wish that I would be alive to work for you
As it pleases you, oh Lord, it pleases me too
Receive my praise
You are the reason for my strength, my good Lord.
I call you a mighty God. The lord that gives children, the Lord that answers all prayers, the Lord that heals, receive my praise, the mighty Lord
