About AGA M EJE N'ALTER

"Aga M Eje N'Alter" is a deeply reverent Igbo Communion hymn that captures the quiet joy of approaching the Lord's table. The title translates to "I will go to the altar," setting a tone of willing response to Christ's invitation. Choirs often sing this during the Communion procession, as the congregation steps forward to receive the Eucharist.

The verses draw directly from the Gospel of John, with Christ declaring Himself the Bread of Life ("Achịcha ndụ") and the Resurrection. The recurring phrase "Nriọma, Kristi na-akpọ m o, ka m aga maza" (Good food, Christ is calling me, let me go and answer quickly) adds a sense of personal urgency and devotion. Jude Nnam's arrangement uses a steady, walking tempo that perfectly matches the physical act of processing to the altar, making it a familiar and comforting piece in Nigerian Catholic parishes.
