Adieu Elechi Amadi

With the voice of Niyi Osundare, I will sing a beautiful song to your Departing spirit until my voice ache, A brave saint you are cracking every nut that refuse to put on a smile on face. You are a drumer breaking the wind of a glory once stolen from humans, Adieu great man of the eastern voice. Legs of patriotic eyes watches printed Footsteps on the sand of your yesterday. In the spirit of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, I will dance and sing alone to you. Adieu great gem once behold in glory, your name is still carved on the sky from one generations to another, you live. Adieu! Adieu!! We all say in unison, we've marketed our souls to mourn you, deeper than sword, your words pierce Into our souls for tomorrow which is to come Rest we shall meet in glory soonest.
