Hello and welcome to Hive Music Festival Week 150 Round 3! My name is @rishagamo, and with me is @oluthimas helping me play the guitar. In this week’s concert, I will be singing the cover of “Owo Oluwa” by P. Daniel Olawande.
P. Daniel Olawande is a Nigerian songwriter, music minister and an ordained minister of the Redeemed Church of God of Nigeria. He is the director of Becoming Hub, a mentorship hub established to develop people on all-around effectiveness. He is also the CEO of the Flaming Youth Empowerment initiative, an NGO focused on the development of the younger generation.
“Owo Oluwa” directly translates to God’s Hand or Hand of God. It is a song in the Yoruba Language, a language spoken by the people of western Nigeria and parts of Africa. The song talks about the wonders and marvels of God in the writer’s life, how every one of his successes has no other explanation but the hand of God in it, it is the blessings of God that make him successful and ahead of others, they started together. People knowing how and when he started are always astonished by where he has gotten to, and he is letting them know that there is no other secret but the doing of the Lord. It is the Hand of God that is showing in his life. The lyrics simply translate (The hands of the Lord is upon my life, it makes me fly upwards, it makes me run with speed.
Thank you for reading, watching and listening to my week’s entry. I hope that you were blessed and inspired through it.
