Daddy, we remember...
to God be the glory.
Daddy, ten years don pass today
Since you quietly go away
Thirty-first of May, two thousand and sixteen
E still dey pain me like say na yesterday
You teach us how to be better in the society
To stand for truth and do wetin right
A teacher, a mentor, wey dey help people
A noble man for this our land
Oh Daddy, we still dey miss you so
Ten long years don come and go
Your love still dey inside our hearts
E dey guide us when the road hard
Mama dey miss your gentle care
Your pikin dem dey feel say you still dey there
And all your grandpikin dem dey talk am say
Grandpa legacy dey alive today
Hallelujah!
I be Jimmy, your first born
I dey do my best with wetin you don do
I dey hold the family tree together
I dey water the garden wey you leave for me
Bobby dey fine, e dey do well
Zipporah get plenty story to tell
And George, your auta, e dey stand strong
E dey hold on, e dey move along
Kuyet and Junior, dem be your pride
Now thirteen grandpikin dey by our side
You go smile if you fit see
The beautiful family wey you don grow through me
Though we dey miss your voice each day
We trust God perfect will and way
Your kindness, wisdom, love, and care
E still dey alive everywhere
Amen!
Oh Daddy, your work no be in vain
Your memories dey comfort us through the pain
Educationist, humanitarian too
The best of life we learn am from you
Until we go meet beyond the sky
We go keep your dreams and hopes alive
Ten years gone, but you still our guide
Forever loved, forever for our lives
Rest in perfect peace, Daddy
Your legacy go live forever
Thank you, Jesus
Halleluyah
