...still on the search

....

i hope you find her eventually.

Funmi Adams! My favorite artiste in those good days when songs are worth listening to. I could dodge errand just to watch her on tv. I have noticed so much threads on her lately i hope we get news about her

warrenweste:
Its another independence day celebration and 25 years after the lovely Album All we need is love was released by the great funmi adams and cbs sony records then way back 1990,even though the country has not improved much since the song was released but at least with the new govt now we are facing a new direction for greatness.

Her most famous song was Nigeria my beloved country

First Stanza
I know a lot about my country
I know a lot because I care;
I know a lot about the (pronounced der) people
I know a lot because I’m here.

Chorus:
Nigeria, my beloved country (pronounced and elongated as ‘be-loo-ved ‘)
Working together is the key
Nigeria, my beloved country, our future is you and me

Second Stanza
Land of iron, land of coal
Agriculture, oil and coal
They are assets that we own
Round the (pronounced as ‘der’) world, our name is known

Chorus:
Nigeria, my beloved country (pronounced and elongated as ‘be-loo-ved ‘)
Working together is the key
Nigeria, my beloved country, our future is you and me

Third Stanza
I know we have a great potential
To do more than just survive
Let’s build up our strength and pride
Trust in God to be our God

Chorus:
Nigeria, my beloved country (pronounced and elongated as ‘be-loo-ved ‘)
Working together is the key
Nigeria, my beloved country, our future is you and me

her other songs include

All we need is love

Mama

Omode o

ina gizon yake

Aha ye yaro

Nnem nnem nnemo

Omolasho

and so on

The Purpose of these thread is to try to uncover the mystery of funmi adams who seem to have disappeared without no trace for the past 23 years according to the executive producer ..Tunde alabi Hundeyin(Dudu music),so deep is her mystery that almost everybody that use to work for her then even couldn't trace her or were even no where to be found besides the producer Tunde akins and editor tunde obalana.
Is these how we will just let these beautiful songstress disappear with her works which inspired an entire nation with songs of unification on brotherhood,sisterhood and what it means to be patriotic.

N.B...Pls if you have any of her vhs/vcd pls signify so we can at least revive her works again (and pls forgive my typos) Thanks

I feel the search for this lady should be suspended. Her case is just like that of the Lijadu Sisters. They suddenly vanished into oblivion too. Like someone said, it's either she is dead or she wants to live a quiet life and does not want to be found. Probably sh has health issues and she doesn't want her problem to be made public. If people who worked closely with her during her time in the limelight can say they don't know her whererabout, it means she wants to maintain a private life. Let's allow sleeping dogs lie

The lijadu sisters are very much alive and they are in Germany the case of funmi adams is mysterious because her disappearance even shocked her producer and the entire team and a search party has already been sent to look for the professor who is her best friend patiently waiting for the outcome before dumping the research,and the search team is more particular about getting her All we need is love videos since her case appear more spiritual than physical

Thanks

have you put it into consideration,she does not want to be found?

....

op. Your interest in finding Funmi Adams is now becoming an interesting topic. You have sustained this tread and topic and have gone to so much lengths to uncover her. Why her and why are you looking for her. If you find her, then what next? Most musicians of her generation seem to have all vanished. Have you opened a tread for Veno Marioghe, Dizzy k Falola, Oby onyioha etc.

I understand you really enjoyed her songs then, i did too. Do you really want her to respond to you and say here i am? Give her a reason for her to see you and she will come out, if she is still alive. Mind you she must be quite elderly now and wont be seeking attention no more

@OP YOUR RELENTLESS EFFORTS IN UNCOVERING THE WHEREABOUTS OF OUR DEARLY BELOVED FUNMI IS COMMENDABLE. YOU HAVE GONE FAR AND NEAR SINCE THIS SEARCH BEGAN BACK IN 2008. BUT ONE THING IS MOST CERTAIN HOWEVER, THAT IF FUNMI AIN'T DEAD OR DISAPPEARED OVER BERMUDA TRIANGLE, OUR FUNMI WILL MOST DEFINITELY WANT TO BE FOUND AND WILL SURELY COME OUT ONE DAY AND GIVE US GOOFY GRINS AS WE REUNITE AGAIN. SO LET'S KEEP THE SEARCH ON.

IN THE MEANTIME, LET'S HOPE AND PRAY SHE'S HAPPY WHEREVER SHE IS.

...AND FUNMI, HERE'S TO YOU. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

Her disappearance is simply mysterious. I personally gave up when I realised this. How come she's not traceable? Like she doesn't have family members? No one knows her state of origin. She sang in the three major Nigerian Languages (which is very rare in Nigeria music industry). People who sang much older songs still have their videos in circulation. Very few people are concerned and passionate about her works.

Anyway I can help you guys solve the mystery? Its unbelievable she dropped off the face of the earth just like that. I seem to remember in her "Mama" video she featured an older woman who looked very much like her.

Happy New year bro and your welcome on board,am sure that woman was her mother though nt sure,if you can help us uncover her video we would be more than happy

Maybe she was an akudaya(someone who had died somewhere before ). So when she was discovered or about to be discovered, she vanished
