Carry Me Dey Go!

There are few moments in a Nigerian wedding as joyful as the bride's thanksgiving or reception entrance, and "Carry Me Dey Go!" captures that exact feeling. This popular celebration song is an absolute favorite for weddings, radiating the excitement and prayerful hope of a bride stepping into her new life. The upbeat rhythm and familiar melody instantly get the congregation clapping, swaying, and sharing in the joy of the occasion.

The lyrics are wonderfully simple, sung in relatable Nigerian Pidgin. By asking "Jehovah" and "Daddy" to "carry me dey go my husband house," the song places the entire journey of marriage securely in God's hands. Zitu Benafa's choral arrangement gives the choir a lively, rhythmic harmony that supports the bright soprano melody. It is a fantastic, energetic piece for a wedding thanksgiving procession or a special choir presentation at the reception, bringing a true sense of local flavor and faithful celebration to the big day.
