dominique: I have never seen/found the right time to use this Pidgin.....until now (dancing) I loooove Mike Okri especially "Omoge" dieeee Thank you!!! I share your sentiments about not knowing most of the songs... I am not too young to know them, however I cannot carry a tune to save my life...I love music as I hear it, after which it disappears...then when I try to sing it, I just crack up people around me. SMH However, without knowing the lyrics, some stay and light up my life..,I love Yoruba Fuji music, my dad used to play a lot of them in his car...all the time...and I was his handbag...I used to go hunting with him...and he played mad music after a good hunt. I would run out and carry the guinea fowls. Jeez. Nostalgia I love Ozoemena Nwa Nsugbe....did he sing "onye a gbana oso na olue nu na omume"? That song is one of my best songs in the world....the story fascinated and tormented me at once, while I would be ensconed safely in my father's car as usual . That song has to be my best Nigerian song...sad, soulful, melodious, lyrical, all at once....and the insane-ly glorious drumming! Then I love Lagbaja...to pieces..and Fela's Palaver...and Bright Chimezie's song that has, "Ogechukwu nwannem, nekwa......office m di na Legosi oo, madam ebezina" I am soo sorry but Osita Osadebe's songs makes me wanna climb walls, or throw things (hides) I have never been able to appreciate them...but I am sure the fault lies with me Sorry for the parrot-ness! Cheers Beautiful topic @ naptu2 3 Likes |

benzmatic: Her voice is soo beautiful it almost haunts one. I dunno what sonorous means exactly...but it sure has Nelly's voice as an example...Simi, that new Yoruba girl on the block, has a soulful voice too (as a total digress) When Biafra comes, I am so gonna wrap up puleenty Yoruba singers and songs to take with me That tribe has music in its DNA...true story I am thankful for the maaaany many times I listen to, and love Yoruba sings without understanding a word 9ice, Lagbaja, Fela, Juju, Simi, Tiwa, that Mandy girl from way back, Whizkid, BankyW, Davido's "aye", DBanj....and etc, and more Chai 1 Like |

eaglechild: Hi...this is for @ jnrbayano too I think it's ?Yvonne Maha If I am right, it is cos I had a girl crush on her! I wanted to be her...with her afro and squeaky way of saying "gini ka I na eme oge ncha!?" Lol I also wanted to be that girl with Michael Jackson in "Thriller"...and that girl in that great "Belinda" song by an unknown singer Sorry for derailing @ naptu2 (Modified) Oh...there is Chichi of Africa too Well...I could have sworn it was by Yvonne, cos her songs were in a series, and the videos would play one after the other on NTA...but I bow to your knowledge...cheers 1 Like |

dominique: I bet that you know some of those songs, but you just don't know their names. Number 2: You've heard Flavour's Nwa Baby, right? It's a cover of Sawalele. Rex Jim Lawson's songs are very popular, but most people don't know their names, so they draw a blank if you say Sawalele or Love Adure or Iworiwo, but once you sing the song, they go, "O! I know that song". Waka waka baby, (o yeah) Number 23: Eddie Quansa is the signature tune of the New Masquerade, so if you've watched the New Masquerade, then you must have heard Eddie Quansa. 3) Baby Jowo: Dr Victor Olaiya and 2Face remixed the song 2 years ago and it's still being played on tv and radio. Number 1: Sweet Mother is the Nigerian Mother's Day anthem. It is one of the most popular Nigerian songs ever. I've even heard them play it in a church on Mother's Day. Just listen to the radio or watch tv on Mother's Day and you'll hear the song. It's particularly very popular across West Africa, especially Nigeria and Cameroon (Nico Mbarga was half Nigerian and half Cameroonian) Number 6: Mo Sorire has been remixed by I.K. Dairo's son, Paul Play Dairo and it found renewed fame in the early 2000s. Number 17: Otanjele was also the signature tune of Femi Robinson's Shoppers Guide and you would have heard the song if you watched the show. 1 Like |

Jnrbayano, eaglechild and merahki It has just occurred to me that most of our very popular child stars (singers) are female. There was Yvonne Maha in the early 1980s. Tosin Jegede in the mid 80's to early '90s. Chichi of Africa in the late '80s and early '90s. Benita Okojie in the mid '90s to early 2000s. And now there's Amarachi. The only boy that was a bit successful was Kola Masha and he was not half as famous as the girls listed above. 3 Likes 1 Share |

merahki: Yes I also thought it was Yvonne Maha that sang "gini ka I na eme oge ncha because it usually played alongside her other songs. But Naptu2 says it was Chichi of Africa. I suspect Yvonne has her own version. 1 Like |

naptu2:Kola Masha definitely rings a bell but I can't remember any of his songs. He was on a TV show I believe. |

eaglechild: He had his own tv show, he often presented Kiddie Vision 101/Speak Out and he had an album (all these happened c1989-1993). |

"Time Na Money" I believe Mike Okri sang that right?? What about "Rhumba Dance"? Evi-Edna Ogholi songs...Yvonne Chaka Chaka (oops! I think she's South African, along with The late Brenda Fassie and the late Miriam Makebba). The "Bala Milla Show" used to reign, too...Mamman Shatta..Dan Maraya Jos (both of them are late. Mamman Shatta was a die-hard smoker)...hmmmm |
