Daniel Onjeh released a new single, “Time and Chance,” a gentle Afro pop song about patience, hope, and perfect timing.
Daniel Onjeh’s new Afro pop single, “Time and Chance,” released on January 2nd, 2026, is not loud, rushed, or aggressive. Instead, it feels like a calm voice speaking to you when life seems slow or unfair.
The song carries a simple message that anyone can clearly understand: everyone has their own time, and no one’s effort is wasted.
In a world where social media makes success look instant, “Time and Chance” reminds listeners that growth takes patience.
The song does not promise overnight success. Instead, it teaches that progress comes when time and opportunity meet.
Lyrics That Speak Directly to the Heart
One of the strongest parts of the song is its lyrics. Daniel Onjeh uses everyday words and relatable thoughts to pass his message.
Lines like:
“Time and chance dey reach everybody” and “Your time go come, your name go rise” sound simple, but they carry deep meaning.
The lyrics explain that no matter how slow life feels, everyone will have a moment to shine. Another powerful line says: “Wetin be your own no go pass you by” This means what is meant for you will not miss you. When God decides the right time, the door will open wide.
This idea makes the song comforting, especially for young people who feel pressure to succeed early.
The short prayer-like line “Oh Lord, lead me to today’s chance,” adds a spiritual touch without being heavy. It shows faith, hope, and trust in God’s timing.
A song with Strong Inspiration & Emotion
Daniel Onjeh’s sound is influenced by music legends like Bob Marley, Lucky Dube, and Fela Anikulapo Kuti. These artists were known for music with meaning, not just entertainment. You can feel that influence in “Time and Chance.”
Like Bob Marley’s calm wisdom, Lucky Dube’s encouragement, and Fela’s truth-telling spirit, Daniel Onjeh blends Afro pop with life lessons. The song is not just for dancing; it is for thinking, healing, and believing again.
The production of “Time and Chance” is simple and clean. Nothing distracts from the message. The beat is soft and steady, allowing the words to shine. This makes the song easy to listen to and easy to understand.
Because the recording focuses on emotional delivery, listeners can feel that the song comes from real experience, not just studio planning. It sounds honest, calm, and personal.
Daniel Onjeh is not only a singer-songwriter. He is also an activist and politician, and his music reflects that deeper thinking.
His journey into music became more serious after the murder of George Floyd, when a poem he wrote about injustice turned into a song.
His debut song, “I Can’t Breathe,” showed his concern for social issues. His second song, “Rise Again,” focused on strength and hope and gained attention online. Now, “Time and Chance” continues this path, but with a softer and more personal message.
This song feels like advice from someone who has faced delays, doubts, and questions, yet still believes in the future.
