ESU TI KUNA O BABA, E JE K’O TUBO MA KUNA LO
Composed by Z. A. Ogunsanya, 11/12/2019. In my room in the morning, as I finished writing line 2 of stanza 5 of a song titled “Mo nilo iranlowo Re Oluwa”, Sister. Oyebanji senior called and asked me to pray about a neighbor’s 15 year old child, that went to work but did not return. I gave God an ultimatum with a vow of 1,000 hallelujah. After the prayer, I slept. By the time I woke-up few hours latter, the child was already found: hallelujah. As I was on my kneels shouting the hallelujah to fulfill my vow, this song began to ring in my heart.
