Izobo Ofuafuo

"Izobo Ofuafuo" is a reverent Urhobo entrance and offertory hymn composed by Festus Nkwoka. Centered around the theme of a "Holy Sacrifice," the song calls the congregation to bring their offerings before God. It sets a tone of solemn preparation and joyful giving, making it a fitting piece for the beginning of Mass or the procession of gifts to the altar.

Written in solfa notation, the arrangement opens with a stately, unified call to worship. As the piece unfolds, it moves into an engaging call-and-response section where the sopranos lead with petitions and the rest of the choir answers in harmony. With lyrics that acknowledge God's supremacy—declaring "Owe O vo avware se Oghene" (You alone we call God)—it is an uplifting choice for festive liturgies and thanksgiving celebrations in Urhobo-speaking parishes.
