HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 143||THEME: VOICE OF HOPE||WADE IN THE WATER BY THE SPIRITUALS CHOIR(COVER)

Hello awesome people, welcome to HiveopenMic Week 143. I am opportuned to select the theme of this week, and after deep reflections I decided to choose "The Voice of Hope"

I made this choice because of the current situation in our country here in Nigeria. Things have gone from good to worse. There has been series of poor management of public funds by the government thus, resulting to insecurity and low rate of employment and brutality form the country's very own armed forces. For long, the people kept quiet and endured all these. After a while, little voices of hope started speaking up against this slavery and oppression from the government. These little voices grew and became grand and even brought about one of the largest protests against the government in Nigeria. The protest was tagged End Sars which signifies that all the corruption and mismanagement by the government should end.

Unfortunately, and funny enough, the government was able to supress this unanimous voice of the people with even more force through every means possible. It appeared as though all hope is lost.
But currently, there is a new voice of hope promising to rescue the peope from all these oppressions. His name is peter Obi.
He has become one of the candidates for the upcoming presidential elections and the people have looked into his past and compared him to all other candidates and have found him worthy to be the best candidate amongst all. His qualifications and manifesto give the assurance that he will turn around the nation for good in the nearest future.

In response to this theme, I have chosen a song by a beautiful African American choir know as the Spirituals titled Wade in the Water. The song is simply a song of hope, which also tells the biblical story of Moses as the voice of hope of the Isrealites, when he rescued them from the slavery of Pharoah. This song made me to liken our Nigerian situation to that of the Isrealites in the Bible and we believe that this man, Peter Obi will become the voice of hope of our time, the moses of our country.

In essence, there is still hope and we believe that this hope will come with this new year.
Happy new year all!

I hope you enjoy my cover of the song!!
