Here are a three comments from this video's discussion thread:

Deborah Temitope, 2015
"wow wow wow! This is creativity at its peak! I had goose bumps listening to this evergreen song performed by one of the original singers alongside the Daystar choir! God bless you for this!"

"This is really good it's nice to see mummy Fasoyin back again after a long long time.,God bless Daddy and Mummy Adeyemi of Day Star 🌟 for bringing Evangelist back on stage..The Lord keep you all to the very end in JESUS NAME... ODUN AYABO FUN GBOGBO WA OOOOOOO"
-snip-
I think that "Odun ayabo fun gbogbo wa oooo" means something like "Our love for all in the new year". [said with emphasis] (from combined results of Google translates for the sentence, for the word "odun", and for the word "ayabo".
