I can't thank you enough for posting this video. I have the video but it's on vhs and I don't know how to upload it. So you know late Duroladipo. He's my father in-law, am married to his and moremi/oya's son. Do you by any chance know Baba Ekemode's contact, I just wanted to call Baba Ekemode and talk to him. I also remembered him as a loving man towards me then. I didn't know I stole the show but thanks 4 the compliments, my mom is also in the video. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOW
That's amazing! I have always wondered who that kid was that stole the show? You identifying that made it worth posting it as well as to honor OJ, of course. I take it that you're related to DURO LADIPO (RIP), the great playwright?
It's unlikely to find this kinds of songs again. Simply in a class of it's own.
Thank you zookat for posting this video, would you believe that's me the little girl dancing in that video.
Wow...... Good to know.
I was about that too when song came
You gave it your all! Amazing little girl you were then!
