This song has been close to twenty years in the making. When it was given to me by God sometime in the early nineties, I thought it was just a song, but it morphed into a project called “the back to God project”, which now includes other songs among other works geared towards restoring Nigeria back to her former glory via a return to righteousness which is said to exalt a nation.
I had been trying to bring out the song since the year 2010 but not to much avail as it appeared that Nigeria wasn’t yet prepared for that change. But when I saw the recent protests and Nigerian youths for the first time in recent history, earnestly and passionately desiring for change in the country and a better nation, it occurred to me that perhaps the time for the song had come.
So I decided to put the song together as soon as I possibly could because it appeared so urgent a matter. And it has been confirmed by a dream and via revelation that the time for change has truly come.
I pray it would inspire the desire in every one of us to become a better person towards achieving our dream of a better Nigeria for all Nigerians. – Jesunyem George
God bless Nigeria.

Chorus:
Oh Nigeria, make we go back to God
Na the only way, na the only way
Oh Nigeria, make we go back to God
Na the only way, na the only way

We have left our Maker
