Fans had looked forward to a collaboration between Omawumi and Daniels, and the moment the song hit the limelight Omawumi proved why she remains one of the most celebrated female artistes in Africa.

In her usual knack for telling stories through her music, the singers borrows Me Ke from the popular Nigerian (Itsekiri) folktale, which tells this interesting story about a mourning dove who had a sad thing happen to ‘him’.

On his way back from a food hunt, the bird notices his only child (Kpoje) was killed by the eagle, he gets so mad and in return, kills all the eagle’s children. Immediately this news went round the town, there was a meeting summoned by the elders to discuss this terrible act.

According to her, the bird explains “that when Kpoje was killed, I wasn’t upset (me o ke oo – me ke oo) now that I’m doing mine, please don’t be mad as well!”

It’s a powerful tale, expertly expressed by Omawumi with the soothing interjections from Kizz Daniel.
