I'm originally from Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). I just found this song we sang growing up in Abidjan and you can't imagine my joy tonite on the hills of San Francisco. Love to all my Nigerian brothers and sisters everywhere.
If u listen to this song back then r u still single? I'm still single n it makes me realize how old I am now. I thank ALMIGHTY GOD for Life. Truly beauty is in d heart not in d face
This song remind's me of our early childhood that we all had a dream of a great and better Nigeria, a time when all tribes and regions lived as one Nigeria until our present witch craft, wicked and heartless politicians came onboard and messed up our future. Ma, may your soul rest in peace. You brought pride to us as a Nation. RIP Ma.
La seule fois où j'ai regardé ce clip, c'était dans les années 90 , à la télévision ( RTI notre télévision nationale ). Quelques semaines plus tard alors que je regardais la télévision avec ma mère, mon père et ma cousine, la même chanson passe à la télé, mais cette fois là, c'est Antoinette Konan qui la chante. Alors que nous écoutions la chanson donc , j'ai fait savoir qu'elle n'était pas d'Antoinette Konan , mais qu'elle appartenait plutôt à une femme Nigeriane, et que j'avais déjà regardé le clip de la version originale. Ils ne m'ont jamais cru et je n'avais aucune preuve ( pas de TH-cam, Google,... rien ), et le clip n'est plus jamais passé en ma présence. Aujourd'hui je retrouve mon clip et ma chanson près de 30 ans après.

big kiss beautiful diva from the sister country of Ivory Coast. Thank you for this eternal song which will always be listened to even in a thousand years by our great-great-grandchildren. - a fan from Abidjan of your music
Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪. Thanks Big Momma Christie for having this and other songs of yours here. Grew up in Sapele, Nigeria, with my father loved this song. One of those few songs he danced to
When it is not all these useless songs that talk abt sex .l love to this song like kilode .it motivated me to behave properly while growing up bcos l don't want to bring shame to my parent.God bless d soul of this wonderful woman.rest in peace mummy christy
@@Christy_Essien_IgbokweThought so. Always ever saw the video of her Seoul performance (which she won!) as video for this song on TV. Love love love love her! Always mining her songs as a kid. Those songs! Her voice!!Her acting, wow!! Natural, effortless beauty. Class. Dignity. No negative press about her. Ever. Pure talent, can sing, act and dance. Check out her beautiful shape here. And graceful steps. And then, check out her fiery dance in Tenu Lu Nla decades later. What!!?? And she's not Igbo. So, must've learnt Igbo dance as an adult, married to an Igbo. Yet, that her solo energetic power dance routine is FIRE🔥!! Worthy of an award even today. Continue to rest well ma'am, the forever Lady of Songs. A class act!
In foreign land. US? So, this song was recorded & backed up by whites? Always thought the "Seun Rere" chorus has this tinge of foreigness to it eachI hear it. Now I know why. Deeper respect!! A full backing band😢 of pure whites in a foreign land too!! Deepest respect. But, it should've been out out way back then, to uplift her pedigree so she could personally take her flowers for this feat while she was here. She is still here though. Take your flowers Mama.

I think you should move the translation from the comment section to underneath the video. I'm asking for the sake of those that dont speak. The song brings back some of the purest from of childhood joy out of me.

I was also at Oyo State. This song brings some nostalgic memories😍🥰
Where you one my Ghana teachers that putting a whooping on my behind in the 80's and early 90's 🤔😂
No heavy make up, no flashy jewelry, no naked clothes. Just pure music and beauty.
Gone are the days ladies sang. Now, they expose their bodies.
Those good old days! Now Demons have taken over!
You have said it all 👍. No heavy make, no naked bodies, just pure and simple music, exhilarating music ❤❤❤
One good thing about Nigerian classics is that they never die ❤❤
There's no more music
Honestly!
Exactly
You’re right
That's why it's called classics.
They are everywhere.

Reading your comment and shedding tears.
still fresh even in 2024, this was when music was a thing of the soul
😢
As a child I couldn't understand the words because I'm Igbo, but this was undoubtedly one of the best songs of yesteryears... God bless her soul.
So beautiful. I'm hearing this for the first time at the tail end of 2024 and it's an instant favorite. RIP gorgeous soul.
