About Obọn, Afo Edi Abasi Mmi Ye Edidem.
"Obọn, Afo Edi Abasi Mmi Ye Edidem" is a vibrant Efik/Ibibio song of praise that carries a bold declaration: Lord, You are my God and King. Written in 1975 by Gossman Akpan, the piece is built for joyful thanksgiving. The choir weaves through energetic "Hallelujah" passages and promises to praise God's holy name with a loud voice.
Perfect for Entrance or Recessional processions, the lively solfa arrangement features distinct tenor and treble solos that sing of God as a place of refuge and an everlasting rock ("ebiet ubọhọ mmi ye nsinsi itiat"). After the soloists take the lead, the full choir returns in harmony to drive home the final message: glory and praise belong to Him forever.
