Eeya. He was the one who sang "give our women chance to rule oh" which shina peters stole and sang in Shinamania

He was a very popular muscian in Benin City those days when I was living there. Some Benin people said that the famous musician was chased away from Lagos by the great Abami Eda Fella Anikulapo Kuti but I do t know how true this story is but Raiap to him

Another legend takes a bow!

RIP to the Legend! One of our best. I enjoyed your music everytime you grace the stage at UNIBEN, Edo day.

obontami:
I remember the song he sang to diss the then military president Ibrahim babangida titled " Baba nawa" and the "oba nor dey go transfer" was a massive hit then.

He's legendary, may his legacy continue to live on. And rest in peace to his gentle soul.

ororo no de fade.....

I don't want to sound condescending but this Edo language is one of the least loved languages by me. It just sounds somehow.

However, I love Edo people.

He is a legend, rest in peace sir!!!

This track and the one he dedicated to George Ikpovhoba are my favorites.

May his soul rest in peace.

May God receive his soul in his paradise and may God grant grace to the family to bear their loss

Maybe because it's a very ancient language, in African terms and in how it has been preserved. But extremely rich in idiomatic expressions.

Despite interaction with East and West, and some level of acculturation both ways, Benin Language was pretty much well preserved. Compare to Yoruba that have basically now made Oyo dialect common dialect. Common/Oyo Yoruba is displacing other dialects locally, for example, in Eastern Yorubaland. My observation visiting those places. Oyo dialect was quite influenced by Arabic and Languages to the North. Despite being preserved, simplification must have been more likely. I may be wrong though.

Coptic, Chinese, Sanskrit, Greek, Korean, Hebrew, Aramaic, Tamil, Persian Farsi and even Arabic don't sound easy on the ear. These are very very old languages still in use. I have heard people speak all these languages first hand except Aramaic, which I have only heard spoken in audio/recorded form/film.

English, for example, came from Old German and it sounds much easier on the ear than modern German, Dutch or Danish/Norwegian that are much closer to their old Ur-Germanic language. English was much influenced by French (infusing most Latin words we have in English now) after 1066 Conquest by William, Duke of Normandy.

Rest in peace to a music maestro....a legend whose legacy will forever live on

Fairly young.
70 years.

Epa may your soul rest in peace.
We will always remember you.

Okhinewie Baba

Osayomore Joseph was indeed an household name in Edo music....May his soul rest in peace...


It's quite obvious that Nigeria old musicians of the 60s,70,80, are passing away.....I pray God grant his soul eternal rest
