Yak Ikom Akwa Abasi

"Yak Ikom Akwa Abasi" and "Amanam" are two vibrant Efik thanksgiving choruses often paired together to create a joyful, rhythmic offering. The first section, composed by Iniobong Victor, is a direct call to worship that invites the congregation to praise the Almighty for His enduring love toward mankind. Its steady drive sets an uplifting tone as the gifts are brought forward to the altar.

The piece then flows naturally into Chris Inwang's "Amanam," a beloved song of deep gratitude. The full choir sings of the Lord's goodness, while an alto soloist leads a litany of praise, calling God the giver of life, peace, love, and wisdom ("Ono Uwem," "Ono emem"). Together, these melodies create a deeply moving atmosphere of thanksgiving, perfect for celebrating God's endless blessings during the Offertory.
