I am Igbo and i dont fully understand what the Commander is saying but i love and listen to all his songs especially this - my best ... Evergreen! Obey is a true legend! The beauty of Multiethnicity - One Nigeria!❤
I remember when the record came out, he was mimicking Tunde Nightingale in style because Tunde Nightingale was very popular in Lagos then. The bass gutarist, Gabriel Ayodele remained with Obey till the end. You can hear him in the backgroud, he started to end Obey's rhythm solo with distinct rude and rough interlude that compliments Obey's unique style of juju music. Arigidi supports Obey's voice with the ultra tenor voice in the backgound. Enjoy a great sound.
As an EGBA man my head swells each time i listen to this trac . it reminds me as a boy climbing rocks in our neighbourhood in those days, and remember the famouus EGBA NATIONAL ANTHEM............Lori oke ati petele ibe la gbe bi mi sio, ibe la gbe to mi dagba o , ile OMINIRA, . Ngo duro lori OLUMO, ma yo ma yo ma yo o lori OLUMO, Emi omo LISABI

chief Ebenezer obey remained my favorite musical legend and inspiration for yet generation unborn with wordings to lift several souls in distress and state of confusion, I felt nerves relieved each time I listens to older copies of our own Juju maestro.

@bisitaye many people dont understand the impact of Ijesa in the nigerian juju music. Ijesa loves people loves to gbadun no dull moment with ijesa people and am proud to be an ijesa grand duchess. Bakare, omole, and ajanaku really brought sunny and obey out. I thank God that Obey made this song. Its a lesson for those novice who dont know what they talk about when i tell them that Ijesa naa baba for elevating the juju music especially sunny ade.
who can ever forget this great music. From a typical Egba man, i remember dis series of tracks produced in small breakable "black" disc with various tracks. My dad,uncle and everbody bought one.
