Hello and welcome, beautiful people of Africa and members of this vibrant community! I'm Fortune, your host for Afri-tunes week #117. It's always a pleasure to gather and celebrate the diverse rhythms of African music.

This week, I'm excited to share with you a special entry from Uyo, Akwa Ibon State, Nigeria. Get ready to enjoy a captivating song by one of my favorite local artist, titled "Ima". This beautiful piece is sung in the Ibibio language, native to Southern Nigeria, and translates to "I am so glad that Jesus Loves me". Let's immerse ourselves in the melodies and meanings of "Ima" together!

I'm thrilled to have my dear friend, Rudolph, joining me today to perform this song together! We're looking forward to sharing this special moment with all of you.

This song is a heartfelt expression of gratitude for God's unwavering love. It's a celebration for the untimate sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross, as the lyrics so powerfully remind us tha: 'They knew He was not guilty, but out of love, He said "It is finished" and now we are free'.

This song fills me with immense joy everytime i play and listen to it. It reminds me of the boundless love and redemption I've received through the sacrifice of Jesus.

Whenever i play and listen to this song, I'm overwhelmed with emotions and gratitude.

I hope you'll join me in celebrating this amazing grace as we sing and rejoice together.

If you'd like to experience the full song, you can find it online ("Ima" by Progress Effiong). Let's come together and enjoy this beautiful song, basking in the love and joy that it embodies!
