Chai am not a Yoruba man, am Igbo but I love Yoruba music , it gives me joy I no de understand de language but the tone and the sound of their music makes me happy Rip sir awolowo
I wasn't born then, but alll can say is that the people who benefitted from this man deeds are the ones spoiling everything now... Very ungrateful daddies
Awolowo, a God sent, the greatest Yoruba ever ✌. Ogunde, our pride may u both rest in peace. May God heal our land, restore the glory of the Oduduwa nation and bless us with leaders we can be proud of like Awo, selfless and visionary.
My Dad kept playing this song when Pa Awolowo died, now i can sing this song word for word from beginning to the end. Rest in peace Dad and thanks for the memories.
Chief Obafemi Awolowo, (may the perpetual peace and blessings of the Almighty Olorun Olodumare be upon His great soul) . Papa Awolowo was a great prophet, he was loved by all and feared by many. He did so much for Nigeria, most especially southwest of Nigeria. He was a good friend of my late father, Pa Johnson Omisakin Omisore, aka Johnson-Sakin of Ife. May Papa soul Rest In Peace.
A pragmatic leader: one of the few visionary leaders in the world who could deliver at the record time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! without complaining like the present leaders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May your heroic soul rest in PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Up Awo! The greatest leader after Oduduwa the Yorubas produced. His principle and dedication to service are second to none. I visited his Ikene house with a group from Lagos, and profoundly everyone was impressed with the simplicity of his lifestyle.
The instrumentation of this music is very good especially the pianist, I really appreciate his scale improvisation. My Dad do play the music then when Awo died and I remember to check the music today. Pa Ogunde is a legendary composer and playwright.
May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace PAPA OBAFEMI AWOLOWO. OLUWO A WA. "Our prophet" . Yes, we would fight back for reclaim Yoruba Sovereign Nation. May your spirit rise now and follow us. A se edumare
The SAGE himself. Aldermaston college used him in the 70's to encourage me to pursue correspondence education! I thank God for him. May His soul continue to rest in peace
I was in Primary 3 then. We went to his house in Ibadan. My dad played this song at home a lot. Awo, thank you for all you accomplished. Nigeria didn't deserve you
Hmmm! Sure we do is unfortunate that he was too far ahead of bis generation. Nigeria was not mature enough for the calibre of his personality but sure he constituets a landmark for the future .goal.
When you consider what Awo achieved in social and infrastructural development in western region prior to Nigeria’s independence in the light of what we see of other leaders, one’s adoration for the man reaches a new height. I pray Almighty God will bless us with another of his kind.
Thank God for Obafemi Awolowo - a gem presented on the platter of gold to Nigeria. Nigeria blew the opportunity to reproduce nationwide Western Region's Free Education and Healthcare Services. Nigeria blew the opportunity to reproduce nationwide the trans-regional highways, sports stadia like Liberty Stadium, skyscrapers like Cocoa House, broadcast stations like WNTV (Awolowo's work - all on cocoa export money in the 1960s). And here we are...Nigeria today, in the stranglehold of the antithesis of all Awolowo stood for. God did what he could for Nigeria. Rest well, Papa Awo. Thank you for the confidence that your dedication to the value of the Black man instilled in your people any and everywhere in the world. Rest in Peace, sir.
Funny but this song was sang many years before the death of Awolowo. It was a tribute to him after he was released from prison and was campaigning to the presidency in 1979.
@@olaoluwaoyeneyin1528 Pa Awolowo died 1987, we had this LP at home from way back when I was a kid. The musicians that did tribute songs after Pa Awo's death was Ebenezer Obey and Sunny Ade ...you can search on here for the songs.
Thanks for the correction but that song brought tears to my eyes each time I listened to it.look at all these adult babies politicians that benefited from baba awolowo's free education to tertiary institutions ,free meals, bursary benefits,and further education abroad are the same pple destroying southwest.
I was writing my WASC exam and was revising for the following day's paper. Around 11:00pm I sneaked into the sitting room turned on the tv to OGTV and this song was playing. That was the first time I heard the song and it stayed with me since. It gives me some eerie nostalgic feeling. It takes me back every time, to that place, when I heard of Awo's death. RIP baba Awo.
Baba Ogunde did a jingle song after Baba Awo died. This is not the song. I think I could remember some words in the song. "Ogun laye oo, Igbehin lo dun , Ori je ki igbeyin mi san , kin da bi Awolowo.". The song was played on OSRC in 1987.
EgbaAlake i was never at the university then, i was looking for an admission into any of the universities in either Lag or in any Western state in Nigeria bro.
Baba Awolowo! Baba Hubert Ogunde, great people dt shaped the Yoruba land with their philosophical lifestyle n preaching. I pray we heed the legacies n warnings they left for us. Pls where can I get this song
Yoruba must try everything to preserve our culture and traditions, otherwise in the next 100 years, our culture will be forgotten, Yoruba Rooonu ooooooo
@@Emmanuel-pu7dz which insult are you talking about? If you understand what Pa Awo stand for and you understand what sowore fighting for then you will know what I mean.. I think you are among Yoruba young that am talking about.
they never stated its Ogunde though... its Ogunde's song for Obafemi Awolowo.. does that need to be spelt out to you?.. please go and study your late grandfathers work.
I disagree it should be spelt out. Even google posted Obafemi Awolowo as being the image of my Hurbert Ogunde my Late Grandfather. So if they got it wrong you can't expect everyone that does not know of my Late Grandfather to automatically know how he looked like. You should make it clear who is the focus of reference here is and how they looked like in your displace. By the way I know who my Late Grand father was, so I do not need to do any research on that. This is for those that do not know of my Late Grandfather. I also never said that the song shared on TH-cam was not made by my late Grandfather here either.
It can and should be spelt out for those who don't know of Awolowo or Ogunde. I mentioned earlier that even almighty Google got that wrong. Is that a crime to clarify this? What is this research you keep talking about? Did I tell you I do not know of of my Late Grandpa or the songs he made in the first place?
The song is not about your grandfather (Ogunde), its about his Lord and Oluwo whose photo is proudly displayed there. You should not even be associating yourself with baba Ogunde or even the Oodua race if you don't know who Obafemi Awolowo is

Awo my small god
Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo unforgettable for ever ♥
Up Awo
An icon ! A visionary leader that was betrayed by his folks ! The best President Nigeria never had

May their soul's rest in Peace.
Amin Oluwa.
We Yorubas have a great story that still needs to be told. We are blessed with everything....
A pragmatic leader: one of the few visionary leaders in the world who could deliver at the record time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! without complaining like the present leaders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May your heroic soul rest in PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will remember (Obafemi Awolowo) free education that set me free.
OGUNDE is one of my favorite Movies and Songs, Wish am Like to be Playing all the time, (Baba Orun re re ooo.)

Awolowo, a genius and a blessing to the Yoruba race but it's surprising that we chose to remain in the roforofo that Nigeria has become for so long.
May your soul Rest in peace ✌️ papa Awolowo, .we Yoruba love 💖 you Always.
Our 2 beloveth Babas, Legend never sleeps! RIP, IJMN, Amen!!!
Rest in evergreen memory, Oluwo Yoruba.
'Ba' r'eni! God repose your beautiful soul.
Evergreen Song I love this track so much
He was a spartan leader. His memory will continue to linger as long as time and season never ceases .
The SAGE himself. Aldermaston college used him in the 70's to encourage me to pursue correspondence education! I thank God for him. May His soul continue to rest in peace
I have ave been looking for this song/track for more than a decade.... Just discovering its on TH-cam ❤
This is touching indeed for a rare gems. May the souls of the duo rest in the Lord. Great gems rest on.
This’s the song my mum always listen to early in the morning the year Awolowo died.And May the spirit of PAPA AWOLOWO R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏
Baba Awolowo. One of your greatest fan. We are working on how re enliven your spirit of the sun shine all everybody.
I wish I knew it word for word.
Chief Awolowo's education policy laid the foundation for our love for education as Yoruba.
I was in Primary 3 then. We went to his house in Ibadan. My dad played this song at home a lot. Awo, thank you for all you accomplished. Nigeria didn't deserve you

Rest in peace the most great yoruba patriotic ever live... Orun re e O bami
He came, he saw, but he did not conquer presidency. Best president that never ruled - General Ojukwu. Rest in Peace great leader.
A superlative Evergreen
I finally got that song thanks to God big appreciation to who provided it

@dipo akomolafe thanks bro for the corrections
I remember the day i was there in ikaja of the last respect to awolowo
Great in life and after life.
I was primary 5 then I could remember when we went to his house at oke bola besides boys high school and the music was played at NTA then
Which school was that? I was in primary 5 when he died as well, we went to his house at Oke- Bola opposite Odusote bookstore.
@@akerejaben2709 I remember that street very well odushote book store I was also in primary school when he died
I really do envy your generations that were privileged to meet him and be in His governance
I was in pry 5 in Ibadan when Awo died. I've looked for this song many times. God bless.
Am in class 3 we did gymnastic at liberty stadium
Yes Gymnastics 😃😃😃😃😃😃, in the hot and unforgiven sun of Ibadan 😄😄😄😄😄
I cried when baba died like he's my dad continue to rest in peace baba Awolowo and baba ogunde
Wow! This music I have been longing for from Baba Ogunde. I was in pry 5 then way back in 1987. RIP our unique legends

You bet 1987. I was 2 years out of Gramms. He died. This was like the theme music of his rite of his passage. NTA & TSOS Ibadan.
Baba e wo eyin wo o won ti fe pa wa tan o e pe awon isiku gbogbo ki wo ko oju ija si gbogbo ota yoruba
Thanks 🙏🏻 a lot for the music
My eternal capone!
Can anyone feel the grief ,pain,and sorrow in papa ogunde ' voice? Yoruba pple truly lost a great leader .I think they were bossom friends ,no doubt.
Yes, they were somewhat close. Awólọ́wọ̀ was Ògúnde's Olúwo in the Aborigine Ògbóni Fraternity.
@@ahmedakande6732 This claim of yours cant be substantiated.
@@adebanjosnr okay.
definitely both of them belong to the Ogboni group, if you listen, he said Baba Awo is their Oluwo-------Oluwo is translated as Chief Priest.
Baba Awolowo! Baba Hubert Ogunde, great people dt shaped the Yoruba land with their philosophical lifestyle n preaching. I pray we heed the legacies n warnings they left for us.
Pls where can I get this song
We missed him 😢
God bless you for sharing this. Amen
Yoruba must try everything to preserve our culture and traditions, otherwise in the next 100 years, our culture will be forgotten, Yoruba Rooonu ooooooo
