Nollywood actress and singer Bukunmi Oluwasinahas stirred a wave of prayers and reflection with her latest hit song, “Ori.”
Announcing its release on Instagram on Friday, Bukunmi shared a snippet of the track alongside a heartfelt message highlighting its deep cultural and spiritual significance.
She explained the symbolism of the “head” (Ori), writing: “During deliverance, hands are laid on your head or it is anointed. When diabolic forces attack, in our mother tongue, they say, ‘Won pe Ori e’ (They are calling your head).”
“In other religions, when you come to pray, they tell you to cover your head. No good or bad can come to a person without the consent of their head.”
Bukunmi declared 2025 a year of victory for her fans, proclaiming blessings in her note:
“Nothing is permitted to die around you. When you step out, you shall return. In the land of winners, you shall win. It shall truly be well with you. 2025, Ori wa o ni ko adura.”
The single has since inspired emotional responses from fans.
One commented, “Ìwọ orí mi, má ṣe ko àdúrà, má ṣe ko ire ní ọdún yìí. Àmín.”
Film producer Kazim Adeoti, husband of actress Mercy Aigbe, also joined in, writing, “Ori mi gbe’re wa fun mi o.”
Actors Yinka Quadri and Faithia Balogun shared the post on their pages, showing their support for the actress.
This release follows a poignant moment in Bukunmi’s life.
