“Obim” is a great collaboration between Nigerian singer songwriter Timi Dakolo, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu (TV host), and Noble Igwe (media personality). The Igbo ballad is tailor made for your Nigerian traditional wedding playlist.
(Intro: Noble Igwe)
Nwanyi di, mana enwelu nwanyi ka ibe ya
Enenebe eje olu
Ofu anya ji isi ugwo
Nwa oma eji eje mba
Odibeze
Nwa Idi’m uko
Anyam furu
Onu gbajie boys n’Abiriba
Nwam, Ekenem gi!
Nwam, Ekenem gi!
Nwam, Ekenem gi!

(Verse 1: Timi Dakolo)
You’re my melody
My sweet baby
The one wey dey make my heart go jimjim and shake body
See i promise you
You go chop money
The love wey you give me so
Ona atom riri
The queen wey own my heart
The crown upon my head
The essence of my life
Odim n’obi mo
The queen wey own my heart
The crown upon my head
The essence of my life
Odim n’obi mo
(Chorus: Timi Dakolo)

(Verse 2: Timi Dakolo)
See as you smooth like silk
Your voice like milk
Heaven lost an angel when you came to me
You are so amazing baby
I have to say it twice
This love you give me so
Ona atom riri
The queen wey own my heart
The crown upon my head
The essence of my life
Odim n’obi mo
The queen wey own my heart
The crown upon my head
The essence of my life
Odim n’obi mo
(Chorus: Timi Dakolo)
