2023 and I’m almost in tears from the lyrics, the insanely beautiful orchestra , and the nostalgia washing over me. Lagbaja and Ego are such musical geniuses. I’m sure I speak for all when I say we’d ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have you back!!! Even if its for one night live in concert pleaseeeeee
This is one of naija's classics right here. I love how the blend of traditional and western sounds were infused so perfectly in this song. Truly a masterpiece.
Even the video seems to me one of the realest Nigerian videos ever I mean look at how he used and Agbole(old village house) and allow people in the compound to watch such a master piece
This particular song reminds me when my boyfriend who is now the father of my children left Nigeria 🇳🇬 to oversea !! Thank God for grace .. I remember playing this music crying every night
The year is 2021 and this song still has the same effect it had on me when it was released more than 14yrs ago. Timeless work of art! Thank you Lagbaja & Ego! ❤️❤️
I grew up listening to this song, i fell in love with Ego from Nothing for you to Skentele then finally, this track, she simply killed it. She and Lagbaja were like perfectly fitting jigsaw pieces. This song is a masterpiece.
“If lagbaja made this best now {2019}...he would have been a musical genius”...So, making it in 2006 does not make him a musical genius? 😂😂😂 make it make sense 🥴
Hey kids of the future year 2080, I'm here to testify to you in the year 2023 that I'm able to witness this legend, he was one of the finest musician Nigeria ever produced
I have been listening to this music back then in 2006 in Ghana. just came to mind to look for this song again. it is a song for the soul. this is good music. when i decided to go back and look for the song, i forgot the title but the name LAGBAJA just came flying in memory. I appreciate good music and will follow it wherever.
Kwame Essien you were enjoying this song from way back! Nice one Chale. We should connect soon o. Swung by the office a few weeks ago to see Charles Quansah.
Lagbaja is a tall,slender,dark handsome man,very good looking.I met him at a beauty show Bimbo Peller organised @ Kwara Hotel ilorin in 1996,I was opportuned to meet him before the show at the hotel with the organiser's crew
Bro I just smoked and stumbled on this jam For the first time and my mind blown to shreds with this MASTERFUL PIECE!! Total display of LEGENDARY CRAFT !! ❤❤❤❤
Na today Naija to rock good music. What Wizkid Burna boy, Davido, Olamide.......the list is endless, are doing today is a continuation of yesterday's success, the standard and pace already set by people like Lagbaja and all the great artists in the past.
Lagbaja is amazing and ego too I love this song, this song made me find my voice made me realize my singing talent and also made me love live music the syncing of the African drums and the strings it’s just immensely beautiful. Will love to dance to it with my partner some day
Lagbaja is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional composers I've ever encountered in my lifetime. It took me some time to truly grasp the profound musical prowess of this remarkable artist. Lagbaja's talent transcends any attempt at replication or imitation.
Its 2024 and this Jam was could stand out from the quality of in terms lyrics, vocals, beats, and orchestration of what music is today. Lagbaja is definitely a pioneer of Afrobeat being where it is now.
Back in the day, I never really observed Lagbaja conducting the orchestra and musicians in that manner. It is such a beauty to watch now and appreciate a musical genius put his body(literally)and soul into such a perfect and classic performance. Loving it, and it's 2024!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Once again sublime songs and the video tells the whole story. The way Lagbaja has interwoven traditional African instruments with the string orchestra and used so many images, shows instinct and a deep understanding this guy is gifted no question about it!
One of my all time favorite songs by Lagbaja, i fell in love with the song from late 2006 to date. i just don't understand why is he not popular like other Naija artists???
Gilles Bois d'ébène LOL!!! Just LOL... He, in no way whatsoever, even IMPLIED that talented artists only came from Nigeria. So, I haven't a clue why you'd react to his comment in such a manner. Also, one does not have to be Nigerian to be of the opinion that, "Nigerian artists are very talented plus gifted."
sorry i was not really criticicizing .... my point was ... please lets be more african ... i noticed we are not african enough . Africa to me shoul not appear as being A country . lets work for this one pupose . Thats what i mean . other wise .. i agree .. Nigerians are very talented .
Gilles de Bois d'ébène @ No, we will be more Africans don’t mean we will be less Nigerians.. We’re Nigeria 🇳🇬 FIRST. In fact, I’m Yoruba FIRST because that’s the CORE of my identity. You don’t hear Americans says Northern Americans the most racist or Talented set of people in the world. They say Americans. So yes the Nigerian is absolutely right. Now, we need to figure this framing thing out in Pan Africanism context. Say, Nigerian-African. Or African-Nigerian or African-Ghanaian or Kenyan whatever. Because my Yorubaniest trumps my Nigerianess and my Nigerianess is ultimately the winner. So, no being more Nigerian ultimately guarantees my Africaness! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
I was walking home from NYSC when I first heard this song in 2001. I went to one dude selling DVD and he handed me one. I rushed home and sat my family down to watch. We saw it more than twenty times that night and it still has the same effect it had on me that night till this day.
I was very young when this song was released. But it’s keeps finding it’s way back to my heart. I must confess, music then was magical. I can’t love this song less.
Lagbaja and Ego are two lovely artistes, that my twin sister Kehinde Lijadu love so much in this video. The orchestral background; the heartfelt talking drums and the heartfelt singing of both Ego and Lagbaja makes this a 'Monumental Piece of ' GEM of the Century' ❤Always.
One of Lagbaja's best songs (IF YOU ASK ME). In retrospect, it looked like they knew they would no longer be together...Or will they ever come back together as the song suggest? (I can only imagine..). The duo were an excellent combo!
This masterpiece is forever evergreen … the video , her voice and the whole artistry is just so excellent…the video depicts African excellence and uniqueness
Nothing wey you fit send go pick from inside that year, even if na salt to cook the president's food, as long as I meet this song being played on TV, I aint going no where until it ends. Gets me rooted and glued to a spot. Priceless and Timeless, I must say
I have this song in my phone, but for no particular reason, I thought to look it up on TH-cam. Man, I think it's the best decision I have made today. Ego's voice gave me goosebumps. Lagbaja, the masked singer. The mystery surrounding who he was made his songs all the more exciting. One of the best Nigerian musicians I have seen in my lifetime. Honestly, I thought that in 2022, we would have evolved beyond this ,(musically 🤪), but these new crops of artistes don't even hold a candlelight to the kinds of artistes we had in the past. Stylplus, Plantashun Boyz, Infinity, Tuface Idibia, Faze, heck even Bracket!! I was at garden last night and when I'M WITH YOU MY LOVY LOVY came on, fond memories crept back in... Those were the days of classic Nigerian songs.
Forget the romantic intonations, Lagbaja explain in this peace how soothing it is to have our indigenous musical instincts be the root of our musical expressions even in the presence of western influences.
This song came out while I was in the primary school, I really loved it then. One thing led to another and I'm here listening to it again. This is such a legendary and genius work of art. Lagbaja is so underrated in the music industry. The way and smiling and tapping my feet while listening to this, I'm afraid people around me won't think something is wrong with me. 😂😂
My man is very clever! 1st time i've listen to him. I would like to see him in concert, I love my African brothers & sistas! I'll definitely play his music in my yoga classes.1luv
WHAT AN EMOTIONAL WAY TO SAY GOODBYE TO A GOOD BOSS .....EGO CREATED A VOID IN LAGBAJA.I REALLY LOVE THIS TRACK DEC 2016 STILL ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL MELODY
![2Face - Oh Papa [Performance At Buckwyld & Breathless Concert]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/elET2Rpw7E8/mqdefault.jpg)

i am from from Zimbabwe and we loved it when Lagbaja visited us in the late 90's. long live Lagbaja
Wow..Really. Impressive. Didn't know he had such a wide reach and even going way back. Lovely ❤
@@shodapad07 he performed at the now defunct Harare international Festival of Arts (Hifa)
A blend of modern and traditional instruments in perfect harmony with the most melodious voice you'll ever hear. This is music!
This song is so underrated. Should have been a global phenomenon
Ego is a vocalist, Lagbaja is an Complete Entertainer... 😍😍
One of the best songs to come out of Naija. Highly underrated. I still get goosebumps listening to it in 2020
Nigerians where have you been hiding this? damn!
Can we take a minute to give Ego her props for blessing us with her amazing voice all these years.
I grew up listening to this song, i fell in love with Ego from Nothing for you to Skentele then finally, this track, she simply killed it. She and Lagbaja were like perfectly fitting jigsaw pieces. This song is a masterpiece.
I miss them together
Lagbaja was a proper musician
That's the word bro "Proper musician"
"Is" not was !
Complete Musician
Criminally underrated
Guess i'm launching it first in 2019!
Who’s here in 2020?!!
if lagbaja made this beat now{2019}...he would have been a musical genius....Mixing African instruments with Foreign instrument......
“If lagbaja made this best now {2019}...he would have been a musical genius”...So, making it in 2006 does not make him a musical genius? 😂😂😂 make it make sense 🥴
Hey kids of the future year 2080, I'm here to testify to you in the year 2023 that I'm able to witness this legend, he was one of the finest musician Nigeria ever produced
I second this!! 2095 kids, take note as well!!
Today is exactly 10 years when I heard this song in Ghana. My dad told me he is a legend and I'm glad I'm still celebrating this legend.
I wish this two Lagbaja and Ego will return back to working together again, they sure bring the best out of one another
Uche Ezechiogbe My exact sentiment too...too good together.
Please tell this generation not to let this music die, 2024…
The year is 2023, and I still enjoy this song as much! Such a timeless piece ❤
I have been listening to this music back then in 2006 in Ghana. just came to mind to look for this song again. it is a song for the soul. this is good music. when i decided to go back and look for the song, i forgot the title but the name LAGBAJA just came flying in memory. I appreciate good music and will follow it wherever.

there's a picture of him somewhere online....very handsome fellow with beautiful eyes
Still very curious! More of the brain behind an African mask
19 years later and this song is still a classic truly music is magical ❤

Lagbaja is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional composers I've ever encountered in my lifetime. It took me some time to truly grasp the profound musical prowess of this remarkable artist. Lagbaja's talent transcends any attempt at replication or imitation.
2018?????????

Its 2024 and this Jam was could stand out from the quality of in terms lyrics, vocals, beats, and orchestration of what music is today. Lagbaja is definitely a pioneer of Afrobeat being where it is now.
Ego's dreads has grown real long by now I guess!!! That lady had a magnificent voice!!!
Adesuwa Ighodaro yeah very long now
I love this song👌
This has officially become a classic Nigerian song! Such a BEAUTIFUL song! Lagbaja is a genius!
2017. This right here is what i call a THROWBACK.
Back in the day, I never really observed Lagbaja conducting the orchestra and musicians in that manner. It is such a beauty to watch now and appreciate a musical genius put his body(literally)and soul into such a perfect and classic performance. Loving it, and it's 2024!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We here in 2019 waiting for lagbaja to release a new song

OMOOOO!!!
The talking drum, violin, the beautiful voice, the VIDEO! The VIDEO!! Omo!
Who is still listening to lagbaja in 2017? This song will forever live!
Am listening to it in 2018. One of lagba a bests
I'm still listening in 2018
If only he carried on with his beautiful musical style, I guess he would be a Grammy winner by now.
Once again sublime songs and the video tells the whole story. The way Lagbaja has interwoven traditional African instruments with the string orchestra and used so many images, shows instinct and a deep understanding this guy is gifted no question about it!
One of my all time favorite songs by Lagbaja, i fell in love with the song from late 2006 to date.
i just don't understand why is he not popular like other Naija artists???
Music artistes who do good music are not always popular in Nigeria. The public appreciates music with lewd lyrics.
Oh, but he was! Back then. He's not been active on the music scene for several years
2022 and still get chills from this song. A masterpiece that’s timeless
2021... This brings back such beautiful memories.
This is soooooo underrated!!!
Still here In. 2020 wipes away the fear of corona virus.. Song is lifting. ❤️
when nigerian music was still music now its something else.OKARE LAGBAJA
Who still comes to watch this 2018👍🏾
Even in 2019
I just love labaja verse at the beginning,
Nigerian artist are very talented plus gifted. I am proud of u guys
of course because u aren igerian .. LOL .. TALENTED ARTITS CAN COME FROM ANYWHERE .... including Nigeria .. Sometimes ..
Gilles Bois d'ébène LOL!!! Just LOL... He, in no way whatsoever, even IMPLIED that talented artists only came from Nigeria. So, I haven't a clue why you'd react to his comment in such a manner. Also, one does not have to be Nigerian to be of the opinion that, "Nigerian artists are very talented plus gifted."
sorry i was not really criticicizing .... my point was ... please lets be more african ... i noticed we are not african enough . Africa to me shoul not appear as being A country . lets work for this one pupose . Thats what i mean . other wise .. i agree .. Nigerians are very talented .
Gilles de Bois d'ébène @ No, we will be more Africans don’t mean we will be less Nigerians.. We’re Nigeria 🇳🇬 FIRST. In fact, I’m Yoruba FIRST because that’s the CORE of my identity. You don’t hear Americans says Northern Americans the most racist or Talented set of people in the world. They say Americans.
So yes the Nigerian is absolutely right. Now, we need to figure this framing thing out in Pan Africanism context. Say, Nigerian-African. Or African-Nigerian or African-Ghanaian or Kenyan whatever.
Because my Yorubaniest trumps my Nigerianess and my Nigerianess is ultimately the winner. So, no being more Nigerian ultimately guarantees my Africaness! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
This song is beautiful.. its genius, mixing modern tunes with the traditional.. i miss such wonderful sounds
I was walking home from NYSC when I first heard this song in 2001. I went to one dude selling DVD and he handed me one. I rushed home and sat my family down to watch. We saw it more than twenty times that night and it still has the same effect it had on me that night till this day.
You geeeeet. !
when good music still existed.
The Patterning of this Particular Piece is Amazing. No body can Tell Me that Lagbaja didn't read Music Professionally. This is Clasic
Omg i used to b obsessed with this song in 2006! Love it! Naija music has always been lit
I have to come back here once in a while to come clean the nonsense I've been listening to for long...
Lagbaja we need u back🙏
Memories, that's all that is left..
I was very young when this song was released. But it’s keeps finding it’s way back to my heart. I must confess, music then was magical. I can’t love this song less.
Lagbaja did not get his props in Nigeria music scene. how could he be forgotten so quick. Prince of Afrobeat!!
He's king
Her name is Ego. She has an awesome voice. I never get tired of listening to it.
Lagbaja and Ego are two
lovely artistes, that
my twin sister Kehinde Lijadu love so much in this video. The orchestral background; the heartfelt
talking drums and the heartfelt
singing of both Ego and
Lagbaja makes this a
'Monumental
Piece of ' GEM of the
Century'
❤Always.
This song keeps coming to my heart and i had top come look for it here..... Sep 25th, 2020... I love it paaaaaaaaaaa
One of Lagbaja's best songs (IF YOU ASK ME).
In retrospect, it looked like they knew they would no longer be together...Or will they ever come back together as the song suggest? (I can only imagine..). The duo were an excellent combo!
Reminiscing! I need more great Nigerian music like this in my life!
Thumbs up. we meet again
Lol Hello...again.
Yo you love good music. keep on.
SheriBerri O Am back Berri were you art!!
This masterpiece is forever evergreen … the video , her voice and the whole artistry is just so excellent…the video depicts African excellence and uniqueness
Lagbaja saving my house from COVID 19 boredom. The World is boring.
Nothing wey you fit send go pick from inside that year, even if na salt to cook the president's food, as long as I meet this song being played on TV, I aint going no where until it ends. Gets me rooted and glued to a spot. Priceless and Timeless, I must say
The year is 2021, and I still find Lagbaja & Ego to be great performers.
Same
I have this song in my phone, but for no particular reason, I thought to look it up on TH-cam. Man, I think it's the best decision I have made today. Ego's voice gave me goosebumps.
Lagbaja, the masked singer. The mystery surrounding who he was made his songs all the more exciting.
One of the best Nigerian musicians I have seen in my lifetime.
Honestly, I thought that in 2022, we would have evolved beyond this ,(musically 🤪), but these new crops of artistes don't even hold a candlelight to the kinds of artistes we had in the past.
Stylplus, Plantashun Boyz, Infinity, Tuface Idibia, Faze, heck even Bracket!! I was at garden last night and when I'M WITH YOU MY LOVY LOVY came on, fond memories crept back in... Those were the days of classic Nigerian songs.
It’s been 2weeks since my babe travelled to another country and this song just kept ringing in my head today. ❤️ 2021
I hope you’ve gone to meet her ?
Are you guys still together?
finally found it. channel o used to blast this. grew up on this. and awilo longomba
lee mkhize I know hey. many many years ago. thats how i fell inlove with it aswel
I love the African culture. Such a good voice!
Thanks M.I.A. for sending me this.
Forget the romantic intonations, Lagbaja explain in this peace how soothing it is to have our indigenous musical instincts be the root of our musical expressions even in the presence of western influences.
It's 2020 and I still haven't heard an adlib better than this in any Nigerian song. Lagbaja and Ego truly outdid themselves in the evergreen classic.
This song came out while I was in the primary school, I really loved it then. One thing led to another and I'm here listening to it again. This is such a legendary and genius work of art. Lagbaja is so underrated in the music industry. The way and smiling and tapping my feet while listening to this, I'm afraid people around me won't think something is wrong with me. 😂😂
My man is very clever! 1st time i've listen to him. I would like to see him in concert, I love my African brothers & sistas! I'll definitely play his music in my yoga classes.1luv
Motherland Opebi! This was one of the usual highlight songs.... I miss the old times
Who is here with me in 2019????
I'M HERE!!!!
October 2 2019
Now this is music, still perfect even after so many years. My all time favorite. Thanks lagbaja and ego.
This song is simply beautiful..and I'm now discovering this gem!!
i would love to see this being performed (with good creative production, ofcourse)
This is not just a song,it was an era,a memory.
Who’s watching this with me in 2019???🤪🤪
such a beautiful song, giving me goosebumps and making me sing hysterically in tears 😢😍😍💜
WHAT AN EMOTIONAL WAY TO SAY GOODBYE TO A GOOD BOSS .....EGO CREATED A VOID IN LAGBAJA.I REALLY LOVE THIS TRACK DEC 2016 STILL ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL MELODY
hijay oh really, did she use this song to depart from him
@@emmanueloluga9770 Not necessarily. Lagbaja wrote the song a long time ago. You could say this song is in the album she did last with him.
The year is 2023 and this song is still on my mind! The production of this track is at the very top with the best👏🏽👏🏽
