    Sir (Dr.) Victor Olaiya was an Iroko in the Nigerian and African Music world. I went to U-tube to play your music and was taken back to the old days. What a beautiful remembrance! Your legacy remains for ever. All Lovers of good music will miss you but we are consoled by the good memories you left behind. May you be one of those that will use your talent to praise God at the Mercy throne above. Adieu!

    Whoever is playing that bass guitar at 0:20 of that first song... he deserves to have his name in the Nigerian music hall of fame! That dexterity adds a lot of sweet spice to the song!

    AboubacarSiddikh thanks a million, it reminds me of the good old days of our tea-time dance at Savoy Hotel, Balogun Square, Lagos, where Victor Olaiya was calling the shot. Those time can never be seen again cause as a youth, if you've not been to those places as the Savoy at Lagos Island or the Ambassador Hotel, Yaba, at the Mainlands you've not arrived. We really enjoyed our youth.

Both Higlife and Afrobeats have their own season. if you need solemn moment which is not too bored go for highlife, but if you need moments where there's vibration at higher tempo. please ask for afro
