“Onye Kwelu Chi Ya Ekwelu” is another notable Igbo Highlife song by Paulson Kalu from his 1978 album “Ogom Egbunam.” The title, an age-old Igbo proverb meaning “If you agree, your God will agree,” reflects a profound concept in Igbo culture.
Onye no ndu zoba onwe ya,
Uwa bu onye kwelu, Chi ya ekwelu.
Often expressed as “Onye kwe, chi ya ekwe,” this proverb signifies that one’s personal deity (Chi) always remains by their side, following their lead as they take charge of their destiny. This song, like many of Paulson Kalu’s works, beautifully encapsulates traditional wisdom and cultural values.
