[@jideadegbile2792]

Listened to this song countless times over the years, wept waiting over 7years to have a child of mine and God did it Dec 2021,shared tears of Joy on her delivery and my heart has been full of joy since her arrival. one of her numerous names..... "Ekundayo".Oct 2022 marks her 10th month birthday. went further to researched about Madam Ekundayo in the song and my soul was touched with her devotion to caring for abandoned children till she passed on to Glory. If anyone is reading this... please dont give up.

29th of June, 2022.. the day that this song clicked! I've loved and sang this song since 2008, yet it just hit me today.. let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus... It is 3:28 am now, I should go to sleep 🤍

Mama Janet Ekundayo (1917- 2009) Philanthropist & Carer. Hailed as the 'Mother Teresa of Nigeria', with limited education and funds set up the Ekundayo Children's Home in Makutu-Isanlu Kogi State in 1967.

The message and the uniqueness of the song keeps it green always Just listened to it again

2020 baby

[@tripxtasylimited6330]

In 2021. This song SET me on the PHILANTHROPIC JOURNEY

[@pluggedmedia3640]

See am so! My generation will not give such a song 100 million views, but nonetheless I thank God for the life of Ty Bello and her friend. This is a masterpiece! 👏 To GOD be the glory.

[@sirbugie]

Heard this song a few minutes ago again for the first time in over 10 years... I came here to watch the video,... and I am crying. Like my whole face is wet. 'Don't know why.... Just strong emotions running through me, coming out in tears. Tears of joy mixed with some sadness... Joy at the beauty and fulfillment of madam ekundayo's life, and the sadness of imagining children who are not adopted...

[@bimpyice]

Still loving this song in 2020. Who’s here with me? 💕💕

[@td4924]

Here!

[@atobilobah]

2022. Who’s still listening?

[@henryoloruntimilehin8603]

It always brings tears to my eyes, how someone can live so selflessly. This is the true definition of Love. I'm very inspired. I'll sure take it up as a challenge and a guide.

[@sirbugie]

Im here 6th of January 2025. I feel so blessed and confident for the future.❤

[@chideraobiora5097]

this song made me see the bigger picture of life. living without making or being an impact to people is like living purposeless. #Ty Bello on Ekundayo portrayed a bigger picture. #RESPECT

[@Oreofejesu-tx]

So true! We must all live a life of purpose.

[@knightandlord]

There's something about this song that fits the story it told. Rarely do we get musicians get to set a scene for their sounds. The scene for this song was set to fit. I won't ruin the fun by going without saying how melodious this has been. It never gets old.

[@richarddickson2128]

I love this old lady, the sad thing is that nobody would have known her if not for you TY bello, thank you. Am a photographer just like you darling and i think we see the world in a unique way. keep preaching big sister.

[@SusanOnyenadum]

Richard Dickson it's true. no one would have known about this. I loved that she made the world aware

[@EmmanuelAyeni]

There is a reason I am watching this now... my love for orphans and orphanages and a new project we are on... I am inspired by this song and the people in this story...

[@oc882]

Again I'm surprised this song doesn't get a national publicity Ty Bello my best Nigerian musician You can't listen to that song and would not think of your life Mama ekundayo one of the unsung heroes of our time I hate the way mama died But who are we to question God

[@gkmqofficial]

2023 ❤️❤️❤️ who's still here?

[@DeOriginal06]

I just remembered this song this morning and decided to listen to it. Eventhough I don't understand yoruba but I love and felt the spirit behind the song. I teared....😢

[@olaosebikanolawale3791]

2021, still here listening to this piece.

[@MusicJunkie-zh5hi]

I first heard this song as background song for a docu that featured Cobhams and TY Bello as guests,that was 12 years ago. I just randomly remembered the song and I'm here.

[@moyofawole]

this is deep, i think one of Ty Bellos finest.. But Mama Ekundayo is the true hero here... God bless Mosadoluwa ,and the entire crew that put this classic album together.........

[@olukayodeekundayo7606]

Anyone knows the address of the orphanage?

[@adeyemovictor]

I did a little research on her; and I got this: Isanlu Makutu, Kogi State, not sure of the actual address.

[@deleonile6121]

People like mama ekundayo are very rare in our society, am from Isanlu, I had to visit Nigeria and travelled down to Isanlu in 2009 after stumbling over this touching video, but unfortunately mama died weeks earlier in a motor accident on her way to receive an award as we were told. Sun re abiyamo otito.

[@queenblinks]

The pureness and beauty of this song is just everything

[@fega1985]

One of the most beatiful songs to ever been made in honour of one of the most beautiful of Gods creatures. Tho she's no longer with us, but forever in ourhearts. a NATIONAL TREASURE AND DESTINY HELPER INDEED

[@drnjayy]

I must’ve played this song a thousand times a day in 2011

[@taiwo34]

Two years ago i comment on this song , Mama Ekundayo is the hidden treassure with the heart of Gold. People know of her during the end time of her life in this world.continue to rest well.

[@wunmmieadesunloye5624]

Still listening after all this year

[@LLTY1]

I've watched this video several times but each time I can't stop crying. It makes me think about what's important in life and how we are meant to be sources and channels of blessing. Not only when we have lots of money but even in our "poverty" we can be a blessing. I believed Madam Ekundayo lived a fruitful and fulfilled life. We need to live our lives such that when we are gone, people will be crying but we will be rejoicing as we go to meet our Maker. Many thanks to Toyin (TY Bello) for being a blessing by bringing Madam Ekundayo and her exploits into limelight. God bless you and your team!

[@ayokunleokungbowa6311]

Why will five people dislike this song.... 😕😒......

[@adeyemovictor]

Life is too hard for some blind people!

[@SusanOnyenadum]

Ayokunle Okungbowa they lack sense, and sense is a 5-letter word. I'm just trying to make sense of their dislike lol

[@oc4goal]

Mama Ekundayo, ise oluwa ni. I affirm yes!

[@kemiagbana5710]

[@taiwo34]

[@davidonyeka6138]

30th June 2022 this song is hitting my heart more than ever. I know it's sometimes difficult in our parts of the world to let people in just but someone did. We can do better. God bless her soul God bless you TY Bello, Olufunmi. I miss your heaven sent time God bless you all

[@olukayodeekundayo7606]

Hi Darey, do you know this woman in person?. I want to know the address of the orphanage.

[@cassmaie]

This song and (Mama Ekundayo life) made me realised that there are lives attached to your destiny, that you are some else's divine helper from God.......! Please always help someone in need no matter the situation......! God bless you in doing so Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@festnotfirst]

I’m glad to be reminded about this song even at the end of 2021. I remember how emotional I felt back when I first heard it but as with every thing, passage of time tend to cloud our experiences. Glad to come in touch with the song again. Anyone knows how mama is doing now and the current state of that orphanage?

[@drnjayy]

God knows her 😢

[@festnotfirst]

@@drnjayy How do you mean, is she dead?

Evergreen music from ty bello

[@andyesoimeme9401]

This is classic. This song should be given a grammy award

[@jayohis5041]

I'm so obsessed with this song, it is just amazing and very inspirational.

[@king2biyi]

Our lives simply radiate through the lives of others we help. I cry whenever i listen to this song and it affirms why my parent made such huge sacrifice for me. God bless you Mama and others whom had touched the lives of under-privileged children around the world. 469 children!!! God help me live to bring out joy in others, Amen.

[@adebolawa]

Still loving this song in 2022 🥺

[@olukayodeekundayo7606]

I love this!. Living a sacrificial life for humanity. Beautiful Mother turns SORROWS into JOY.

[@zionnnorom4792]

Life was all about me My life was all about me Did not see nothing wrong The life that I lived Was far from her reality Don't know how empty I was Madam your life your heart touched mine I was struck by the purity of your smile Now I know Realise the change I can bring (Change I can be) To suffering children who've got no home Pray for me so I can see Through your eyes(through your eyes) Ekúndayọ' ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò Olúwa ló fún mi se Mo dẹ'le ever before open my door Jọ'jọ'ló Do you know beautiful you become When you make way For the all little ones Who otherwise would not have made it through their day You become a part of their tale Oh how beautiful are the feet of every man Who brings tidings of hope to children broken Blessings from heaven gate Will shower you every day

[@smithdouglas1673]

Ty bello i believe someday i will meet you, you inspired me about charity and love you have for others.

[@Babybuks]

I never really thought about it that way but there IS a stigma with adopting in our country...people would rather remain childless for years and years or go to "baba alawo" than adopt...and there are so many abandoned kids...that's so sad!!!

[@dududinkie]

Awesome! I love all the songs on TY's album and my favourites have always been 'Supernatural' and 'Ekundayo'. God bless you Madam Ekundayo and God bless you T.Y Bello!

[@NgoziM-Dressed]

This song!... was written for some of us.

[@TitusOsikoya]

MAMA Ekundayo should be awarded MON in Nigeria and recognized by UN for her orphanage in Kogi.
