Nathaniel Bassey brings in Mirabel Ekezie for a heartfelt Igbo worship offering titled “Onye Kam Ga Si Na Oyiri Gi.” The title translates loosely to “who can I say compares to you.” Nathaniel Bassey builds the entire record around that question of incomparable greatness. Mirabel Ekezie’s voice joins to deepen the reverence even further.
Igbo worship carries its own distinct texture, different from the Yoruba-leaning records in Nathaniel Bassey’s catalogue. Together, both voices turn the track into something closer to dialogue than solo worship.
As a whole, “Onye Kam Ga Si Na Oyiri Gi” works because Nathaniel Bassey and Mirabel Ekezie treat incomparability as something worth exploring, not just stating. Nothing here rushes toward a tidy conclusion. That unhurried exploration is what gives the record its depth.
Let this one play in Igbo or with translation nearby, either way the reverence carries through clearly.
