Your head dey there ;I like what I'm hearing from Chijioke Mbanefo but he has a long way to go.
But seriously, I don't think you have heard most of Osili's song because if you do you will trash that track,"chukwuma". Explore Osili music More and you will be blown away.
In my opinion, Osili is the most prolific highlife musician ever.
The man is a musical god.
He even said" Orimili kam si eje ,nmuo nmili zilum egwu"
Ezeafulukwe na Omenyi na Atani.
Gotta love him.

Guy,Okonkwo asaa seven seven isn't a highlife musician
He belongs to the Ekpili genre.
Let me name some core Ekpili singers.
Now,if you don't know Nwoye Nwazodo then you still neophyte....lol
Nwoye Nwazodo was the father of Ekpili music.
Then comes Okonkwo Asaa,Obidigbo and Morroco Maduka. Ozoemena Nsugbe had "Ayaka"(Ayaka is a masqurade that only go out in the deep night,go house
to house and sing for people. It's more like a cult and has some very strict rules) background before he joined Ekpili.

Lanceslot: Udo diri nwannem, Ogbaru kam si bia.

Diamondpicture:

englishmart: is nairaland for men?

That means You follow your child on nairaland and your child follows you back.
You quote your child, and your child quotes you.

Tell all your highlife colleagues to go get jobs. LOL
