Amid the tribal in fighting, the everyone for only their own mentality which plagues Nigerians, rises Mama Ekundayo. A Nigerian woman who in 1969 decided to dedicate her life to caring for abandoned children. As of 2008 Mama Ekundayo has mothered over 470 children. . . from all tribes, all parts of Nigeria, tall, short, fat, thin, brown eye, black haired. . . 

This song by Ty Bello is dedicated to Mama Ekundayo. . . Mama Rere.

LOL, I know what you mean. . . would listen to it all day every day if I could stop the goose bumpy feeling I get each time I hear Mama's voice.

aww beautiful song

aww beautiful song

For a beautiful woman! To bad Nigerians don't recognize good work like this, even though I doubt mama cares to be recognized but still it would be nice. . . you know, A Mother Teresa type thing.

i saw it on facebook and i was blown away,the woman is purely selfless in everything she s been doing another fact which is shocking is that only 2% or so of children in orphanages are adopted as the nigerian society frowns upon it

Gosh. What I would give to be so selfless. . . . .

I cried when i heard this song on Nigezie today for the first time! God bless TY Bello. To think i am from Kori state and never heard of Mama and her Orphanage, i feel so ashamed but i have decided to get in touch with Ty and see how i can help in my own lil way.

thanks

will sure do.

What touched me the most was the old woman talking/praying at the beginning and end of the video.

I can never get tired of this song, and it wont stop bringing tears to my eyes,because this is a poor woman,though richer than most of us esp our policy makers in so many ways.
God bless T.Y Bello,for this great song

Mama said and i quote " HOW CAN I EAT WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE STARVING"
MY JOY OVERFLOWS,
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY GOD CHOOSE ME,
BUT I AM MOST FULFILLED BY MY WORK WITH THE CHILDREN,
I HAVEN'T DONE THIS BY MY OWN WISDOM, I KEEP ASKING GOD TO SHOW ME HOW,
AND HE KEEPS WORKING MIRACLES"

Welldone mama Ekundayo! God bless you!

Please some provide me with the download link to this song, thanks!!
