The Breaking of the Nut
A song made by Udehani Chinedu
Kola nut
We hold ofo na ogu,we are upright in deeds and in acts,upright to nature and Chukwu Okike the creator.We pray with kola nut in our hands....Pii!pill!fill!tim!tim!mil!pil! The sound of the flute,we greet great God.
If our egg should fall,it wont break,it wont shatter and spill.Snake wont bite us, and scopion wont hurt us.Isee!Isee!isee!!
We raise kola nuts,and break it into a four whole piece,each stands for each market day in Igboland.We pray thus:
We will walk and not stumble,we will run and not fall,we will plant and reap,we will live like tommorow because it has no end.We will fetch water and drink from it,it will refresh us and not curse us.Isee!isee!isee
The day breaks like a chick from its shell after several hours of living in the dark fluid of times.
May we break new grounds of blessings and good fortunes.May eke bring blessings,may orie brings great fortunes,may nkwo bless our lands and vast farm steads.Isee!isee!isee
may orie never allow misfortunes to come near our families,our children will not die young,our domestic animals will multiply in births,our home will be blessed.Isee!isee!isee
If our egg should fall,it wont break,it wont shatter and spill.Snake wont bite us, and scopion wont hurt us.Isee!Isee!isee!!
Fishes and water are no enemies,the earth wont hate us,it would bless us instead.Water has no enemy,our enemies would love,the crooked plans our enemies would bless us instead.Isee!isee!isee
We will walk in the midst of thorns unhurt,we will request from the god of the earth she would grant our requests.We will call on gods of the lands to protect and bless our farmlands,to also wad off evil from the land.Isee!isee!isee
If our egg should fall,it wont break,it wont shatter and spill.Snake wont bite us, and scopion wont hurt us.Isee!Isee!isee!!
As we eat this kola nut,and it will sounds koi! koi! koi! koi! In our mouths,may it resound as a sound of good news and not sound of war.Isee!isee!isee
As we swallow it,may the earth not swallow us before our time.May the rivers and stream not get angry and sweep us and our children away.Isee!isee!isee
If our egg should fall,it wont break,it wont shatter and spill.Snake wont bite us, and scopion wont hurt us.Isee!Isee!isee!!
May the hotness of the sun not scotch and dry away our crops and fishes,may the rainfall and not flood our houses and destroy our farms.
Isee!isee!isee!
If our egg should fall,it wont break,it wont shatter and spill.Snake wont bite us, and scopion wont hurt us.Isee!Isee!isee!!
The unity of our communities will stand strong,the inhabitant will square up in strength,our children will succeed,untimely death will not see us and we wont seek it either.
If our egg should fall,it wont break,it wont shatter and spill.Snake wont bite us, and scopion wont hurt us.Isee!Isee!isee!!
