We are proud to bring you the English translation, meaning and lyrics to the popular Olamide’s song ‘Abule Sowo’. The audio was produced by Pheelz Mr Producer. The lyrics was translated to English by Update360ng.

NOTE– Abule Sowo means one that transforms anything (craft) to money. He might, as we guessed, be talking about the popular youngsters’ craft in Bariga, where Olamide grew up (i.e, gathering sand from the surrounding river and selling the sand for money). Close Literal meaning is ‘Money Miner’. ‘Ebora Owu’ is the popular nickname for former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. It means ‘supernatural warrior’ from Ago-Owu, in Ogun state; or it simply means ‘spirit being’.
