Nna, the legend speaks tonight.
Oya, listen to the story of the protector.
Ezekudele, the pillar of Ekpeye land
The one who stands when others try to run
Akoh kingdom was facing the dark of the night
Insecurity whispering, looking for a fight
But you rose like the sun above the trees
Giving us the quiet, the comfort, and the breeze
We sleep in peace because you watch the gate
You hold the destiny of us in your plate
Ezekudele, oh Odogwu of Ekpeye land
We feel the strength inside your open hand
Akoh kingdom would have been bleeding cold
If not for the story of the brave and bold
Ezekudele, you are the legend we know
Watching our land everywhere that we go
Chai, the road was rough and the shadows were long
But your spirit remains steady and strong
From Uwo to the corners of the great Akoh
You are the armor, the unbreakable shield
No wahala for the people when you are near
You chase away the doubt and you swallow the fear
Nna, your wisdom is like oil in the lamp
You keep us safe within the peaceful camp
Ezekudele, oh Odogwu of Ekpeye land
We feel the strength inside your open hand
Akoh kingdom would have been bleeding cold
If not for the story of the brave and bold
Ezekudele, you are the legend we know
Watching our land everywhere that we go
May your Chi look after you today
May the light guide you in every way
For the sacrifice you make for the soil
May you never labor in vain with your toil
Omalicha, the pride of the Ekpeye crown
Keep the peace, don't let the spirit down
Owuze Akoh, the history books will carry your name
Far from the shame and into the flame
Of gratitude from the people you saved
For the courage that you have always behaved
From the city to the village, the news is the same
Ezekudele, you are playing the beautiful game
Of brotherhood, of justice, and of love
Blessed by the grace from the heavens above
Ezekudele, oh Odogwu of Ekpeye land
We feel the strength inside your open hand
Akoh kingdom would have been bleeding cold
If not for the story of the brave and bold
Ezekudele, you are the legend we know
Watching our land everywhere that we go
Ezekudele, the shield of our land.
Chop life, legend, because you earned it all.
Odogwu, may your Chi protect you forever.
Owuze Akoh, Akoh kingdom stands because of you.
Peace and grace, Ezekudele.
