Life is all about soldier go soldier come,no-one I mean absolutely noone is irreplaceable,however you may make it sound, there has been so many other legends before and after those two,warrior, morroco and modi Ibeh etc were equally as good as those two.

Osita osadebe and Oliver de conque never travelled much in their lifetime but their kinsmen, mainly traders took them far and wide. If you know nothing about Igbo tradition in Jos you must know ebiri kan biri

Chief Osita Osadebe's album KEDU is for me the best album ever made on earth.
If mankind was to make contact with an alien planet, that album KEDU should be the music to blast to them for them to appreciate the excellence of mankind on earth

The youngsters of today think they are so much enjoying when they listen to the various pop musics of today that have virtually no moral or life lessons to teach.


Back then in 70's ,80's ,90's when these men OSADEBE AND OLIVER AND REGGAE MUSIC AND FELA REIGNED THE AIRWAVES WAS THE TIME MUSIC, OTHER THAN GOSPEL MUSIC, HAD MEANING AND WERE REALLY ENTERTAINING AND DIDACTIC.


I am not tired of listening to MAKOJO,Osondi-Owendi, Egwu Ogolo, OSADEBE in ATLANTA, People Club of NIGERIA @10, and Ozubulu Brothers ALL BY OSADEBE.

Not tired of listening to People Club of NIGERIA @10 by OLIVER DE COQUE music.

Not tired of RAS KIMONO, PETERSIDE OTTONG, MAXWELL UDO, LUCKY DUBE music.

These men made my stay in UK worthwhile. Once bored and needed to connect home, I just went to youtube and search for Codewit. It has all the legends music.

Worthy mention is Dr sir warrior of the oriental brothers international band, he is legendary, the brand and voice behind Orientals music and also started his own Dr sir warrior and his oriental brothers international band and excelled so much, infact Dr sir warrior, the doctor of highlife oyorima music played future music, he saw tomorrow, he was bigger than music itself that's why when he died none of the oriental brothers members could replace him.

Great fan of Ezeafulukwe Atani, Ositadimma Osadebe(Omenyi).

This guy kept me glued to my culture with his smooth groovy eastern sounds.
Osadebe's music is laced with many philosophical words that teaches you a lot about life. His sounds are rich with many traditional instruments that defines his style as an Igbo highlife music specialist.

Some of my best of Osadebe tracks

Ije awele
Emeka Omanbala
Anaedo special
Agbalu aka azo ana
Osumenyi Freedom
Ebezina
Nri Sport
Nwadi ugwu
Mbaukwu boys
Makojo
Agadi nwanyi na inine and the masterful egwu ogolo etc
