My God is Good Ooh - double

Uche Agu's “My God is Good Ooh - double” is a high-energy Nigerian praise chant. The opening line is the theme, “My God is good oh,” and the chorus is an exuberant call: “Everything na double double oh,” a Nigerian Pidgin phrase meaning things will be doubled. The singer then names what is expected to be doubled, promotion, money, house and cars, and between each the leader shouts for the crowd to scream “Hallelujah.”

The song also includes a short statement of devotion, “In the morning when I wake up, I will sing my praise unto you, my Lord,” which grounds the blessing talk in thanks. “I will shout, I will dance to you, you have been my help forever.” The final section switches to Swahili and Lingala, with repeated lines such as “nzambe wa moyo” (the God of life), then “shuka chini chini tena,” which calls for something to come down again. The mixed languages reflect the audience this style is meant to reach across East and Central Africa.

The goodness claim is Psalm 34:8 and Psalm 136:1. Expecting a double portion draws on Isaiah 61:7, which promises double honor in place of shame to those who have suffered.
