are you sure of this, I'm concerned because i know about their family through my uncle who happened to be their family friend back then in UK before i returned to Nigeria

Ask ur uncle xup with Chidi Obika, then

Someone born and bred in the UK? His siblings should be there with him. I guess that Prince just share same surname.

ChrisKels:
His younger brother Prince Chidi Obika is rotting away here in Enugu

Girl I tried I tried a million times just to get you out of my mind,
Is not that easy
Is not that easy
What am I gonna without your love
Happp Birthy Lemar
Don’t know why you stopped recording hits.

Alright sir. No arguments sir. This is a public forum, hence, the less said, the better.

chiemmanuel:
thought they are all based abroad

Been around since last year

SweetCunt97:
Yes! This is his only song I know... Loved this song that year

Cool

Sanchez01:
It took me a long while to know Lemar is a Nigerian.

Time to Grow remains his biggest hit. One of the many heartbreak songs that prepares your mind for what is ahead.

Where do I go?
What do I do?
I can't deny I still feel something,
And girl I wish
You could say you feel the same.
You've broken the bond,
I gotta move on
How do I help this lonely feeling?
You're gone, I'm here, alone...
I guess it's time to grow.

Happy Birthday, Lemar Obika!

Songs

Time to grow
Wait forever
It's not that easy

Someone should tell you

Someday we'll be together.

Good songs are going extinct sha.

Do you remember 50/50

Lamar's Lullaby

I used the song lyrics to toast one of my crush, high school days

Open her eyes, cause her to fall in love with me
Help me to speak,
Bless me with words she'll feel
Oh let it rain,
Droplets of sunshine in her eyes
And give her the world
But let me be the one she longs to hold

if there is any justice
50/50 hit songs as well

That age that came to your mind

How old are you?

Lemar was underrated for so many reasons.

1. He was British. And just like most British or foreign singers who refused to associate or become more American in one way or another, the land where dreams come true will frustrate them even with their huge talents.
It frustrated Craig Davids, Lemar and a bunch of UK finest artists.

Madonna, seal and Adele who moved permanently to New York somehow gave up a good dose of British elements before they could blow.

2. Lemar was for sure a good singer but the period he came through also witnessed a boom of very talented American artists who overshadowed his shine. R Kelly was still raining, usher, Omarion, etc took most part of his shine.

3. Undiluted RnB was already dying off. Nelly, Cisco, kci and jojo, B2k etc were already shifting to a more gangster RnB. It was spicy, energetic and danceable.

4. Just like most talented young artists, record and management labels could stunt your growth a great deal.

5. His videos were so plain and so British. No vibe like his American counterparts. Good songs, boring videos.

6. Some Nigerians didn't bother to know him more after they found out he wasn't too interested in associating with Nigeria. And that made his music not as popular as it should have been in Nigeria.

All in all, he broke barriers for the British music industry without much support.

If there is justice in the world, I will be your man, and you will be my girl.

PinkStarsFallIn:
Its not really a function of his age
Its a function of his type of music

Exactly! Old skool genre of music transcends all generations!

Alvin007:
Happy birthday Lemar.
'If there's any justice in the world, you would be my girl.. I would be your man...if I found you first you know it's true, he would be alone, I would be with you...'
excerpt from 'If there's any justice' by Lemar

Its so funny the song popped thru my mind this afternoon and i was just humming it. I haven't remembered this song since 2012.

I logged on to nairaland just now and it's the dude's birthday!

Odunharry:
Last night I tried but I couldn't sleep
Thoughts of you were in my head
I was lonely and I needed you next to me
Life is harder since you left
I never meant to do you wrong
And now all is said and done
I hope you won't be gone too long,
