Wife and Children: Amen
Mazi Udekwe: We thank You for sound health and fit bodies.
Wife and Children: Amen
Mazi Udekwe: We thank You for the air we breathe and the food available for our consumption today.
Wife and Children: Yes, lord
Mazi Udekwe: Papa we thank you for the roads we will ply today and the people we are going to meet. We shall be a blessing to them and them to us.
Wife and Children: Amen
Mazi Udekwe: We shall be blessed beyond measure today. Our businesses shall blossom today.
Wife and Children: Amen, Father
Mazi Udekwe: Daddy, we know you are in heaven watching over the affairs of men including those of us in Nigeria.Father, we know you are the omniscient God; the God who sees all the activities of all men including their intents.
Wife andchildren: Yes, Daddy
Mazi Udekwe: Dear father, Udekwe family thank you for the protection we enjoy; we are grateful for the peace in our family. Papa, we return all praises to you.
Wife and Children: Yes, Lord
Mazi Udekwe: Papa, there are things happening in this land Nigeria that have broken our hearts and make us mourn daily. Daddy for instance the issue of Boko Haram; we are totally confused. We do not know who to believe again. The more the Military says we are on top of the situation the more these Boko Haram people are wasting lives.
Wife and Children: Yes Daddy
Mazi Udekwe: Dear Father, every day we hear of missing oil money. Papa, the money is not thousand, not in million but in billions. American billions papa; American billions
Wife and Children: Yes papa; American billions
Mazi Udekwe: Baba, our universities were under lock and key for more than six months; thereby extending the number of years my beautiful daughter will be in my house answering Miss Udekwe
Wife: True Papa
Mazi Udekwe: Papa, we do not understand where PDP and APC are going. One day they are marching forward the next day they are marching backwards. Papa, these people do not look like they really know where they are going. Papa, You promised us that when the righteous are in power the people are at peace. Papa, give us righteous people! Give us righteous people! Give us righteous people!
Wife and Children: Amen! Yes lord! Yes lord!
Mazi Udekwe: My lord and my father; fuel queues are back in the country. The other day Arinze my son was pushed to the ground by a soldier at the filling station in Maryland. This is surely not your original plan for this country. Daddy, the people ruling over us are inflicting untold hardship on us. They are looking the other way while the people wail. Daddy, do something!
Wife and Children: Amen!
Mazi Udekwe: Do something, Papa!
Wife and Children: Amen
Mazi Udekwe: My lord, like the other day when they were celebrating Centenary in Abuja; an abomination happened. One man that put your people through hard times; the same man that murdered our people was was honoured. Ewwo! Daddy I know that you see all these things. Intervene in this land oh God.
Wife and Children: Amen!
Mazi Udekwe: We need your intervention today lord in the National Assembly; if you ask me, I will say sweep them out. We haven’t seen their usefulness. All we hear are scandals, Child marriage, bribery and corruption. Sweep them out papa.
Wife and children : Yes
Mazi Udekwe: My Father, EFCC has become toothless. If it means to supply them with some new set of teeth; please do Lord. Even the bark in them is fast disappearing in them. Please do your miracle in that agency. Can you imagine, last time, the Chairman said he was waiting on the Senate to conclude their investigation before they commence theirs. Papa if that is not compromise and cowardice; what else can we call it? Do something there!
Wife and Children: Amen
Mazi Udekwe: Finally, Lord, the people you set over us are lions. They are eating us up every day. If You do not plan to change them for now; please uproot their teeth. Let them lose their ability to use their canine and incisors on us. May they lose the gum on their palms that tend to cause our monies to miss. May the biro with which they sign away our money cease to write. May the bone from heaven block their throat so that every stolen money will hang in their throat.
Wife and Children: Amennnn!
