Sang it for my mom on mothers day... best song in the world

kay29000:
Yea, the guy's song was a hit, but there is no proof that he sold 13 milliom copies.

Good thinking.

You can see the writer of the story saying he sold more than the Beatles. What a fallacious fallacy. It only people can do little research before going to the print.

Monaco2:



A lady actually did a cover of this song, maybe that's the version he heard

Yes, by his daughter

Wayo in- law

You give me wife

make you take am back

I be no know say

you go do me so

I dey come meet you

to give me my money

My late dad had his stereo plate(what is it called).

FreshBoss007:
I thought sweet mother was sang by a woman

Poor you. You even thought "sweet mother" was the name of a book!

feldido:

Yes, by his daughter

Tilda was never his daughter

Nice story At least I know who sang it now

joseo:
this is one thing about us, we never appreciate ourself, you can imaging 13 million sold and I don't still know his name until this very moment

Are you part of the 13 million Africans that lived when the song reigned?

This song touches me anytime I listen to it.

Abeg, sold or downloaded abi played in weddings and events, who de buy copies of songs, even in the days of cassette na dub we de dubb

kenex4ever:
Good musician, he spoke Igbo fluently in his song "christiana" I wonder why he didn't sing with Efik since he grew up there.

It's like his mother is Igbo?

Ikom speaks a different language from Calabar people (Efik) .. Far different!!

EXACTLY! The guy probably has no idea who The Beatles are/were.

meedx:

Tilda was never his daughter

I felt I've heard her saying so in one of her interviews, I may be wrong though

shadrach77:


You are slightly silly. Did the voice in the song sound like that of a woman ?

the song has other remixes , that could be what he heard

he didn't say "he sold more than the Beatles"

he said he "he sold more than the Beatles best seller"

that song in 2010 was voted the best song out of Africa by BBC LISTENERS

RIPEnglish:
This song is him best song he has ever singed. .

What of Christiana

easy na, he's just asking a question.

FreshBoss007:

A woman later re made all his songs. The original was done by a man, it's mostly the woman's version we hear these days. A Cameroonian I think she was his girlfriend or something. No mind those idiots attacking you for what they don't know

May the soul Prince Nico rejoice wherever he is.

God bless our mothers.

Christiana bu Enyi nwanyi le eh
Christiana kwere na-oga anumu o!

Oh! Christiana o!
Idika onye, Idika onye!
Ina emere m nganga ah!


Classic songs!

Aki, like NwaAmikpe noted was the bomb too.

this was the same question i asked myself ooo...how did the op generate his figure? (13 million copies?) In a Nigeria where piracy is the order of the day? Op fear God ooo!

how did he know is my question....atleast if it was a bbc report, the source should be quoted

Nawteemaxie:


Me too! This is a shocker!

The real song was sang by a man, Prince Mbarga but a woman (maybe his daughter, if he had any) re-did the song because of the fact that it was a hit back to back

How old are u?

FreshBoss007:

Codedrock which church sings sweet mother speakless of adding hallelujah to it?

feldido:


Yes, by his daughter

No sir, her name is Louisiana Tilda

My brother
BBC report or song of the year or century whatever, people should just research who the Beatles are.
I do envisage that it might be difficult especially by people made up of those who are not sure whether the song was by a man or woman and some getting to hear about the song for the first time

01mcfadden:


What's your problem ?

Is that guy responsible for your problems?
Not sure it's just about that honest remark he made. Haba!

What is this one saying?

Oh, mama, I miss you!

I remember how my eldest bro would always sing this song for her...and she'll be all smiles, reassuring us how she'd always be there for us.

But ma, you didn't stay so long.
#Sweet Mother, I no go forget you...

its a deserved recognition prince Nico has been a popular voice in the music industry although millions of this indomie generation don't know much about him and his music, but he is and remain one of the best African singer today and for the days to come. RIP PRINCE

A woman by name Tilda sang her cover. She and Prince Nico Mbarga were in the same record label (Rocafil Jazz)
