Recording/Performing Artiste, Song Writer, Fashion Designer, Life Coach, Certified Public Speaker, Medlye has released a brand new single titled “TEIKETU”.
TEIKETU is an Ijaw dialect from the Izon tribe of the Niger Delta, Bayelsa State of Nigeria.
It’s a ponder, reflection and exclamation of the mystery of God’s love for humanity that will make the Creator Himself descend, bearing flesh, caught as a Lamb, making Himself the ultimate sacrifice for redemption.
WHY? Couldn’t there have been another way when He created the world and all there is anyway?
LOVE? What manner of love could it be? What a mystery that humanity may never understand.
