In this video, I perform a live cover of the song. You can watch the video below or on YouTube (scroll down to view the lyrics). Credits go to Victor Paul (on the lead guitar), Victor (on the bass guitar), Nnamdi (on the keyboard), Favour (on the drums), and Victor Yusuf (video recording). #Afrobeat, #Cover, #LiveCover, #Music
