Nope....there's an American group with a Nigerian, in the late 70's... "Stepping down the Roots, going back to our roots, yeah...awa o ma ranti, se iranti ye o, isedale Baba awa... Love me jeje...is a Classic any day still...!
@@omo-obaaarinade the song you are talking about is 'Going Back to My Roots' by Odyssey. There was no Nigerian in the band. They used the Yoruba snippet you quoted above no doubt but that doesn't mean there was a Nigerian in the group.
I remember this song like it was yesterday and dad would always condemn us for watching such videos, tagging them as indecent. little did he know about today.
after first hearing this song 26 years ago when it was released, it was JUST THIS MORNING it clicked in my consciousness that the female vocalist in this video is none other than our renowned Nollywood star, SHAFFY BELLO!!
This is the song that started the new wave of Afro fusion and Afro beats, this song was a huge hit used to get airtime on AIT Prime Time jams by Kenny and D1, i was in Secondary School then so much nostaligia takes me back to the good old days
March 8, 2023. I remember when I was still a little boy and how people condemned this song, saying it was corrupt and it shouldn't be aired. I was in Primary School then when my friends in school and my neighbours spoke negatively about it. Fast forward years later when I became a teenager and began to listen to it, I saw nothing wrong with it and wondered why it was condemned back in those years. I will still Continue to listen to it because it is fun. Pure nostalgic feeling. Old but GOLD.
exactly bro, i forgot to add this to my comment. this song was greatly condemned especially when it gets to that "ahawo' part. lol.. coming back now as a grown man, i see completely nothing wrong with this song,infact, there isnt any iota of dirt in the lyrics. very clean with him describing himself as a decent lover thatsall.
I remember my uncles used to make fun of this part 2:34 where his shades slipped down just before the fade out. But, honestly, congratulations to them. Shows what happens when you make classic music.
This is my first time listening to this song. It is very catchy and I love it. These old songs were really nice. Something about them is more authentic.
There's this cute lady in a black-patterned jumpsuit, she has the prettiest smile and you can tell she just loves the vibe, she is the highlight of this video for me☺
I must have played this song for 2 hours straight. I was 5 when this dropped, man life was so good then. This bring back so many memories. I’d love to someday meet Shaffy Bello and I’m speaking it into existence. Jan 2023
Little did I know Mama Shafo Bello was the one who was ft in this Video. Such a beautiful lady as I was watching her Movie on T.v and was told she was the one and had to come see for myself. For this no regrets had this huge reminder of this evergreen Masterpiece. Henceforth na Love Me Jeje ❤ me Tender be the Motto.🙌🥂🙌
Bangs so hard jare!!!even in 2022!!! I’m so happy for Shaffy Bello’s success...that woman really spiced my childhood with her voice “everyday I think of you” “If you say you love me, I’ll stay forever” such beautiful lyrics 💯❤️😊
I never knew this was same Shaffy Bello who graced our screens from Nollywood. This song was my hit song way back 1996 thereabouts. My love for SHAFFY BELLO.
From the video quality, to the very smooth AND CLEANNESS (no senseless sexualized scenes or curse words) this song wins all round!!! I wonder if songs can go back to being like this! 2020 and I am in awe!!!
God ....brought back so much memories back in the 90s... we rock it growing up in secondary school.... we create beat by beating my class desk and it a big jam hit for us then.. good ol days
Shaffy is just an ageless beauty... 27years after this classic was crafted the voice... Face .. elegance.. charisma.. body allure smiles are all still the same .. ❤👄👄👄
Took me 9 years to find this song after I lost it from my phone,I never forgot the melody but the title and name of the artiste then boom I downloaded it unknowningly....imagine tge joy in my heart.
I dunno 🤷🏾♀️ how Tems managed to produce such a beautiful cover from the original song. The Nigerian music industry has come a long way since this. I’m ngl I’m Nigerian myself but this is shocking 😮
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS OH! being 16 and living in london can not take me away from loving my culture and talent like this to be proud of!!! NIGERIA IS GREAT!!! LOVE THIS SOOOOOONG! CLASSIC!! (posting it on facebook)
Seyi Sodimu, First Nigerian who used indigenous language to sing and rap. nice video concept of decades as if it was shot last year.
Nope....there's an American group with a Nigerian, in the late 70's...

Not true. Junior and pretty.

The hardest classic from the 90's hands down! The video was ahead of its time, dude was rapping, the fashion. The reception was bonkers. Mad
Couldn't agree more.
Dude was HIM. Baddest boy from nigeria 🙌🏾
Fully agree
Shaffy Bello has always been classy and graceful. Such a lady. Still a classic song.
Who is watching and listening to this wonderful song in 2024

This is the song that started the new wave of Afro fusion and Afro beats, this song was a huge hit used to get airtime on AIT Prime Time jams by Kenny and D1, i was in Secondary School then so much nostaligia takes me back to the good old days
Rebel gang like my comment to mark attendance in 2024 🙋🏾♀️

Shaffy Bello has been doing amazing stuffs from way back❤🎉
Had to come hear this after Tems Tiny Desk! 💙💙💙
Nigerians got swags sing 90s
And who remembers buying Hip Hop World lyric magazine and learning the lyrics by heart?
Hahaha! 😂😂Good old days!
Oh my!!!! That's how I learned the lyrics
@@oceanessaadaeze We plenty for dia.
I even knew the lyrics without buying anything coz the lyrics were so clear to the ears.
Me 😂
Shaffy Bello brought me here! This is the earworm I didn't think I needed!!🔥🔥🔥
1996-1997 was the period Nigerian pop music began to grow. I loved this song then and I love it now

The moral standards back then were way up the roof. Especially in Africa. 🤣
I remember my uncles used to make fun of this part 2:34 where his shades slipped down just before the fade out.
But, honestly, congratulations to them. Shows what happens when you make classic music.
Shaffy Bello never aged....pretty yesterday, today and tomorrow...
why can't Nigeria still make songs like these? songs that have meaning and are nice to listen to.
+Goldhar Alexandra babe ....We have to move with the changing world......That's the reason!!!

This hook is still so catchy and its funny how this video doesn't look obsolete, even after several years.
It's a music song that has stood the test of time.
Temsss paying respect

My love for SHAFFY BELLO.

God ....brought back so much memories back in the 90s... we rock it growing up in secondary school.... we create beat by beating my class desk and it a big jam hit for us then.. good ol days
Chaiiiiii.......still fresh like palmwine. I first watched this video on AIT in 1997 or 98. I was very much a child then. Great song.
This song ehn.. the rizz , swag , everything. On point 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shaffy is just an ageless beauty... 27years after this classic was crafted the voice... Face .. elegance.. charisma.. body allure smiles are all still the same .. ❤👄👄👄
🎉This guy is indeed a music maker. Many years after release, the music still resonates. It's worthy being in The Hall Of Fame. Classic.
2024 and this is still a jam.
Even during Covid 19 global pandemic...I’m still watching in June 21st 2020 😁🙈
Great song , Great Memories.
Is the woman Shaffy Bello

This is a true classic
OMG, i will never stop loving this song. After all these years, its still the bomb. Shaffy Bello Akinrinsimi never ages.
So true she looks basically the same
th-cam.com/video/__jXVea9Spo/w-d-xo.html

The first Nigerian song I ever fell in love with. Thank you Tems for bringing back this memory 😂🫶🏾

Still watching -June 2020. It brings back memories. One of the tunes that made me love AIT- lunch break with Jumobi Adegbesan.
AIT lunch break with Jumobi,you garrit
Lol. Every Sunday
This is classic oo
Wow can’t forget this song
Shaffy never gets old😂
She is a fine wine.
Took me 9 years to find this song after I lost it from my phone,I never forgot the melody but the title and name of the artiste then boom I downloaded it unknowningly....imagine tge joy in my heart.
There was a symbiosis between AIT and this song. They both made each other popular.
Very true!! They played it severally those years!
I'm feeling nostalgic listening to this song.
I visited this video last year, but Tems video also made me visit this video again.
This woman didn’t age🥰 loved this song back then, I love it even more now🥹🤩
