This is Nigeria, as a musician (especially) nobody gives a fck about you because your music no they enticing to them (you no dy show nyash and breast).

Welcome to nairaland. Bunch of kids everywhere. Thanks for the reprimand.
Ugwuoke347:






You are a slowpoke.
Will you get out of here at once!
This is how moral rebels like you bring the society down with your foolishness and warped sense of judgement.
It is clear you have lost your spiritual compass in the sea of vanity and spiritual decay.
If you could say what you have said here about Edna's ennobling form of music, then you are clearly a lost and decaying soul; a soul lost to the abyss of degeneracy.
You prefer to hype Satan's own minions who come to you in the form of the Davidos and the Whizkids of this world.
It shows who you are; a servant of Satan. You even had the guts to mention Deeper Life in a denigrating way, you damned soul!

I remember her in the 1980s.

The song her remember her most for was "jealousy". This was how Nigerian music generally was before 2Face changed the Nigerian industry for good in 2004.

Don't give the credits to Tuface only. sad

Tony Tetuila, Idris Abdulkareem, Azadus, Eldee, etc.

Let's just Plantashun Boyz and the Remedies Crew.πŸ™‚

They came with American Hip hop style of Singing, and blended with the opening of a New Millennium and decade (2000). smiley

I am not saying they were bad but trust me, Tuface changed the entire industry. He isn't called Tubaba for nothing.

Abi o, na crappy songs most of them they listen to na. Am not Urhobo sha, but is it not in this track she said, Waja kobaro? I think she means let's unite together.

Here at my location in Ghana, some of their public transport drivers sometimes play her songs. I'll just be silently smiling whenever they do so
She said that one should look well before crossing the road,look back .... Something like that
