"if you marry taxi driver i don't care
if you marry taxi driver i don't care"

Then there's

"baby mi jowo o jeka gbadun". . .something like that.

@ doyin:

@omoge, gbadex,

gbade, that's reminds me o. the singer was the cute Nkechi Ojugbana. Where is Nkechi Ojugbana?

The taxi driver song was actually don originally by the Late Bobby Benson. I do remember another lady doing the song, and I guess that is Nkechi Ojugbana!

nigeria yi ti gbogbo wa ni
ko ma ko le baje , lol,
e ja ka so wo po, damn cant remember

@gbadex,

"baby mi jowo o jeka gbadun". . .something like that.

This song was done by Ebenezer Obey. I think I have the CD. I can check it out and send it to you.

@topic,

Anyone remeber the song Nigeria go survive? I guess the most popular catch phrase from the lyrics is the "Andrew no check out o"

^^ wat year was all dse

who knws
aya mi iwo laya rere eni ba laya rere toju re, bla bla

*sighing with nostalgia*

this thread makes me happy just remembering those old songs. Does anyone remember this song - can't remember the name of the singer . . .

"omo mi se oun rere ti e a dara o
omo mi gbo temi ti e a dara o"

the lady that sang that song was one of my favorite singers back then!

And who could forget the rain maker himself ! :

"mama mama yo, papa papa papa yo,
send down the rain!"

omg, i love that omo mi seun rere song, lol,

yeahh send down the rain, woahhh
eko dara pupo eko lo laiye ta wa yise
eko ko longbeni depo giga eko longbeni de po ola.

I'm not too sure but i think her name starts with Essien or something.

I love this topic, Very nostalgic

i love what u guys are talking about.i am a music collector and currently i'm seriously looking for the cd's of most of the artiste aforementioned.if they are not on cd's ,i want to use this opportunity to appeal to these musicians who i know are still very much alive to please put their old songs on cd'because i know a lot of nigerians really love them and would do anything to have these music in their music library.(is someone listeninig) Bunmi olajubu is in the uk as i heard while dizzy k is a pastor abroad,nelly uchendu i hear is late.can someone please tell christy essien igbokwe to please re-release her oldies on cd'S.ONYEKA ONWENU has already done that.please i'm really begging the old school musicians to please re-release their oldies,i have come to realise that most of the songs we hear nowadays are just flash in the pans.There is currently a great demand for the old songs of the afore-mentioned musicians and i tink they can still make millions by puting them on cd's

Tosin Jegede!!! I remember those days attending Central Bank of Nigeria primary school with her.
Besides the music thang,she was lovely,slim and very quiet.Last I saw her,she had ballooned up.

Not fully developed though!

William Onyeabor, I had no idea of the name,

Thats right, its very, very right
When the going is good, you will have many friends
They will say they love u, they will say they need you,
But when the going is bad, all your friends will disappear
And they'll never come back
When they come back, they hav come to help in bringing you down down down down down down down down down

Higher higher higher higher higher!

Lovely song!

This is 'The way Forward' by Sunny Ade and  a host of other musician. Not really so old anyway I think it's a '90 song.


No one has mentioned Papa Kennery Orlando Owoh  - Yellow sisi, Ma pa mi iyawo asiko,
Even Orlando Julius has some good old one- Nana, Ikoko ti o jata
How about our famous evergreen song in Naija- Sweet mother by Nico Mbaga
Yoruba music lover will appreciate the likes of old stuffs from Haruna Isola ( Baba ngani), Ayinla Omowura, Yusuf Olatunji, Ojindo ^{don't mind me na ma granpa cause am}
