mbazunu: There is this old highlife song that goes like this: cherry Koko, we are cherry Koko, oh ah oh ah we are cherry Koko. Who knows the song n title n if possible a video and audio to go with it. Thank u
There was an unfinished but funkier version of this wonderful song that was on YouTube, but unfortunately it has been deleted. This song is absolutely wonderful
naptu2: The base guitar! Those insane trumpets! The back up singers! The message!
Sonny Okosun. London. 1982.
(The trumpets go. Tada tana nana na na na na. And the bass guitar imitates them)
Mother, You are my soul, Mother teach me to smile, Because I'm still a child.
Mother, You are my life, Mother teach me to live, Because I'm still a child.
Mother, You are my sight. Mother lead me to the end, Because I'm still a child.
Mother, You are my song, Mother teach me how to sing, Because I'm still a child.
Mother (mother mother mother), Show me the way (Show me the way), I'm afraid to walk in thee dark, Because I'm still a child.

I think that should be Sonny Okosun, if I remember correctly.
ponishah: I hope Edmond Spice is Nigerian. Remember his hit Funk from and original soft song. "Sorry, Is all that you can say...
(sorry I am out of data to search and give accurate title and lyrics , just a guide)
naptu2: He was heavily criticised when he said (in an interview) that he had never heard Tracey Chapman's version when he did his version. He said that he had never heard of her.
This is his pop and hip hop version of her song (can anybody remind me of the name of the guy that rapped on the track? ).
The first video has good quality audio while the second video contains the original video from 1990 (the audio is horrible).
They had just finished building the second part of the 3rd Mainland Bridge (Ebute Metta to Oworonshoki) when the video was made. You can see them dancing on the bridge at night (before it was opened to the public).
Edmund Spice - Baby Can I Hold You Tonight? (1990)
ichidodo: [color=#1980BC] naptu, you got that pepper soup song by Esse?..[/color]
naptu2: This isn't the video that I wanted to post. I would have preferred to post her very first hit ( "Back To The Basics" ), but that's not on YouTube.
This song is also nice and (if I remember correctly) it's also one of Ishilove's favourites.

Caveatemptor: This is one of the earliest Nigerian rap songs by Radio Nigeria 2 MC Ron the cat Ekundayo.
There's more. I featured Prince Nico Mbarga, Nelly Uchendu and other highlife artistes on the highlife thread. There's also a rap thread, where I featured Ron Ekundayo, Emphasis, Junior and Pretty, etc.
The NTA's Vera Ifudu interviews Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and Waziri Ibrahim after a meeting of the progressives in Enugu.
The progressives were trying to form an alliance to challenge President Shehu Shagari in the 1979 election (it didn't work). Aminu Kano was not at the meeting.
Dr Azikiwe came in a W116 S Class Mercedes Benz, Chief Awolowo came in a W100 Mercedes Benz Grand Grosser limousine and Waziri Ibrahim came in a Peugeot 504.
naptu2: They weren't happy when Nas (the American rapper) covered their song "Gone Down Low", but I think they've now gotten back the rights to their songs. The record company made a fortune from the songs and paid them peanuts.
hopefulLandlord: can someone please explain what happened that made new Zealand and German team pass between themselves till the referee ended it?
It seems like there was a thunderstorm warning or something like that and an official told the referee to end the match. The referee then decided that they could still play the remaining 7 minutes, so the game was restarted.
It seems both sets of players decided that they were not going to make the remaining 7 minutes into a contest, so they just passed the ball amongst themselves.
