You wont understand dear...those were relatively goooooood times in Naija

That was the era when good music with loads of sense were made! Can't forget Veno Marioghae (Nigeria Go Survive), Funmi Davies(Nigeria My Beloved Country), Onyeka Onwenu, Christy Essien Igbokwe, Stella Monye, Lijadu Sisters, Dora Ifudu, Princess Bunmi Olajubu(Eko dara pupo), Carol Bridi, Oby Onyioha, Sunshine Sisters and few other female entertainers of the 70s and 80s those were the era I can never forget, what a reminiscence

OP pls we need Wizkid!

Yes Sir!

Michael Sokoto: OP pls we need Wizkid!

hisxlency: Each and every one off her song have a message to pass across.

yeah better than the meaningless rubbish they sing these days displaying pornography in the name of music. I hope our present artist will get a message from these and use their talents to send messages through songs so as to help this generation.

oh my gosh! so,she sang d song? wow!

AMvanquish:

Whatever d case! It was way better back den!

back then,when there was a power outage,a national calamity jst happened like a coup d'etat or a heroes death.ask your parents

Brings back good memories. Was she not the one that sang the popular "Home sweet Home" song. Well, like she said in the song she'll always come back home.

There is no place like home
Home sweet home
I travel East, North, South, and West
I will always come back home

I loved her music back then ooo especially the bday songs looooooooll

Chai! no wizzybaby? Wat of Terry G's "sangolo remix"? I fit manage Danfo drivers sef if u get.

@OP
Thanks so much!
Its nostalgic feelings you have conjured here!!
Your post just took me far back in time. How time flies!!!

People hmm we are praising and missing that era I bet most these people singing her praises once had something bad to say about her. We don't value what we have till it's gone.

el bin manny: is she dead wat makes u feel she is no longer singing

Ask me o,ovasabi make agbede short!

Lakayana: People hmm we are praising and missing that era I bet most these people singing her praises once had something bad to say about her. We don't value what we have till it's gone.

I may be wrong but I don't think people had anything bad to say about her.whenever I hear her songs,I'm caterpaulted back to my childhood.most of d people "singing her praises" here were kids when she sang and were only too happy to dance to her "happy birthday" tunes during "baideis" like d OP called it.besides,I think she's scandal free.Evi Edna is fondly remembered.

mmm "Nigeria go survive".I didn't know the singer but I remember d music.maybe she saw into d future we need more of this kind of music at times like this.

Akshow: common shut up. Them de talk children of 80s and 90s de talk. There was once a time Nepa was not an issue at all.

NO U SHUT UP
EVEN IN THE 70S NEPA WAS AN ISSUE

HER SONGS BRING BACK FOND MEMORIES
BUT THE SONGS R WACK
AND SHE LOOKS LIKE SHITE

God bless the writer for this topic. You've just made my morning bright.....
With all the garbage you hear nowadays that are being labelled "9ja music",I can sum the up easily..... MUSIC IS DEAD in 9ja....#RIPMUSIC

This womn is just too good, up up evi..

Hmnn. Those good old days. I love her songs, very simple and real.

Thanks OP, for taking me down memory lane, this Sunday. You indeed made my day memorable.

@ Evi, hi to you Evi, wherever you may be. I still cherish your songs.

:PWhen we small we remixed her song and it became "if na only one rice, if na only one beans, if na only one kpomo,I go manage am"
