Charly Boy's "1990", a track released in 1988, turned thirty today. Shocking that what he spoke about in this song, are still issues in Nigeria today.

Charly Boy - 1990

Translation

We wondered and our God came to give us direction. God of mercy have mercy on us.
Our powerful Lord and Master who does us good and does not ridicule/laugh at us. 
We ask you to receive what is Yours so we can praise You always. Lord have mercy on us, do not allow us miss our way, pardon us of our sins. 
Lord have mercy on us. 
Please come and deliver us from this word of sin so we can worship you.
All who believe in God, come let us praise our God, Jesus came to the world because of us, He delivered us, He delivered us.
All of you come and give Him your praise, He who created us all. Thank You our all powerful Lord, praise is Yours, glory is Yours.
Our Lord and Master thank You
God of mercy, God have mercy on us
Do not allow us miss the way, deliver us from sin
God have mercy, Jesus have mercy on us all.

Beautiful Igbo song that appears to have disappeared from the internet, so I'm putting it here, for the record, and for the culture.
