Ele e muito especial ❤

When Warrior died, Oriental Brothers died. No one can argue on this.

Ok. Who is Oriental brothers that you know? WARRIOR! Every other thing is just for the story. In life, you must give honor to whom it is due.

I love watching flavour on stage performing his fans is having a blast ❤❤❤😍😍😍❣️❣️❣️💜💖😘🥰🎤🎵🎶🎵🎶

Nice one 👍🏿. Johnson Hart also had 2 solo albums. "Domination In Africa" in 1979 under Jicco Funk label and "Progress" in 1985 under Ichie Records. Fun fact, Spud Nathans and his guys were on their way to perform at Shell Oil (then called Shell BP) senior staff club at the Shell Residential Area in PH. They always booked major bands that were hot at the moment to perform at their Independence Day dance or Christmas dance. I was able to attend some of them as a teenager in the 80s (Sonny Okosun, Felix Leberty, etc.). The last show I remember attending there was Majek Fashek at his peak in 1988 or 89. Not too sure. Tee Mac Omatshola was there with him on his flute.

R.I.P😢

Can you dig up some music from the mansions and visitors Rock group of ikot Ekpene. They were popular in the mid 70s.

He is never a one hit star

You summed it up brilliantly- Eddy Grant, unbeknownst to most Nigerians, was an undeniable contributor to the growth of popular music in Nigeria of the 1970/80s, even though his contribution was subtle.

An adage says " Twenty boys cannot play for twenty years" was what happened to them, because they were youth fellows who must find out about the future careers for themselves. Thanks.

Beautiful!

I didn't know much about him until now, but he did make waves in those years. Based on your profiling of him here, there is no way that he could be objectively characterized as a One Hit wonder. He had hits after hits, some of which you sampled here, and most of which I didn't know were his -- I was a Kaduna boy then but he was mostly a Lagos phenom. He also became a born again, what sins were these then young musicians committing to have forced them into repentance, 😆😆😆😆? Great job again, Music In My Ears!

Was he known anywhere outside of Lagos? I remember that he was a 15 year-old kid who had a breakout song, “Excuse me baby”, but this song hovered only around Lagos and its environs. I heard or knew nothing else about him until I left Nigeria in 1987. If he was a big deal in Naija, do a profiling of him for those of us in the dark about his career.

I followed kris Okotie very closely because I also dropped my demo cassette with Phonodisk at the time. I Need Someone was the biggest pop album in Nigerian music history up to that point. It gave millions of us aspiring young pop artistes real hope and belief that pop music can really sell commercially in Nigeria. Three of his albums will remain forever as gems in Nigerian music history: the first album, plus Just For You and Please Don't Go. Simply do a google and play Take It To Stella for yourself, only Tuface's African matches it as a love song. Or, listen to Mother, and tell me how many other songs will ever give you such emotion. The greatest act of Okotie was when, as a very young man at the top of his career, he dumped secular music completely to take on the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. That action alone led to the repentance of so many young entertainers who hitherto were struggling with their faith. Chris Okotie is a legend of Nigerian music and a true man of God.

Best reggae master 😢

Nice compilation

Wow! Dizzy k brought back memories of the 80’s. He was not a one hit wonder. I remembered him opening for the Cool and the gang at festac. Excuse me baby was my favorite and Baby kilode. He was my Nigerian version of Michael Jackson.😊

is Keziah finally naturalized Brit citizen of French.? I did not know he was still facing hassle at the airports due to his nigerian passport back then in 90"s

A true legendary RIP

Wonderful selection, he deserves this and more.

All time favourite ❤️

My favourite Dizzy K song is "Excuse me Baby" still trips me and bring back memories of secondary school Lit parties.

He is not a one hit wonder. His first album had the big hit excuse me baby, and also scored well with his second album with the hit Baby kilode.He was one of the early stars of Nigeria's fledging pop music era of the 80s. Much respect and love to him for his contribution, but I can not tag him a legend. ❤

Is the mandator alive? I thought he passed on, Thank u lord

Lovely work sir. I really enjoyed it

What about the brother, Sunny Ema?

RIP great one

Is George Ema still around?

Nice rendition of history

But what year did he actually die ?

Thanks sir

It's vey unfortunate to here how his Wife and music partner pass on, she's a wonderful during the reign of The Mandators.

Thanks for the history. Just discovered them through the TV Show "The Agency" s1e1..

Victor is an undisputed legend.

R.i.p my lordship...

No, he's not a one hit wonder at all. Your well researched assessment is the evidence. My favorite remains "Who's the other guy?".

Tera Kota did the first reggae album in Nigeria. After the lamentention for Sodom album he released two other albums Peasant child and Free Fela now but after that I haven't heard from him. He's one of my favorite Nigerian artists

I met Mannas here in America. He played drums for one of my favorite America Artist Michael Frantis.

Thanks for this update about one of my favourite Nigerian Stars. RIP Peterside Ottong

Need theblink to the story

Chika apaka m

Well narrated,❤

Thanks so much for this information

This is quite refreshing to hear about Ms Yvonne Maha. Does she have an email address. Pls keep us abreast.

There was an underground persistent, but hush-hush-seeming, story that Aktion was doomed by the ostracism inflicted on it by its contemporary musicians. Its major hit, "Tell Me", was said to have been plagiarized from an army band that performed either in Eastern Region or in Biafra -- the army band had floating musicians, some of who were later found in most major bands in the East after the war; they had consciously and collectively agreed to respect the work they did with the army band -- by not re-recording it --- but they were shocked and miffed when Aktion violated that promise in recording and claiming ownership of "Tell Me". The brazenness of appropriating that song (as Aktion's), miffed most musicians of the army band's lineage, and they mounted oppositional forces to the misappropriation, which ultimately made Aktion untrust worthy in the industry. The band became an untouchable in the music industry once its name couldn't be mentioned without plagiarisms qualifying it. Some of the musicians of that era, who were gathered together by former governor Willie Obianọ of Anambra state, basically confirmed this story in one of their sessions a few years ago.

If I am not mistaken, The Founders 15 first single was titled "Highway Mini Girl". I have not heard that song in decades. I went to their show twice, when I was in high school. Ik Peters actually used to be one of the members of an army rock band called Rock 28. That was around 1971, and they were stationed in Obosi in Anambra State. Great group too. I can't wait to see your videos on groups like BLO, ONE WORLD, WHICH TRANSITIONED FROM THE STRANGERS. THE WINGS, MONO MONO, Your videos take me back to my high school days, immediately after the civil conflict, from 1970 through 1973. I was 15 years immediately after the war, now 70 years old. The whole thing seems like yesterday again. I appreciate your videos bro. 🙏

I'm glad you posted this video. I was a big fan of Actions 13, and I attended lots of their gigs, when I was in high school between 1970 to 1973. I later met ran into them when they moved to Warri. They were the resident band at Zeina Nite Club Warri. Anyway, I wrote about the group earlier, but I mistakenly sent my comments on the reply section of this comment section. Thanks, and best of luck with your You Tube Site.

When i played this sound long ago, i knew it was from Nigeria but the ITK told me that Ofege are Chananians. This is what we suffer people will always bully another for what they don't know. I am sure the wise person is still living tell him where the.musicians came from.
