[gadaluck]

Love the hell outta Bright Chimezie. What a happy go lucky type dude. Damn, it's really scary to take a pause and realize how extinct stuff like his has become. Still with ppl like codewit the saga never dies. Carry on tradition.........

[sexysugar40]

Please can any one tell me where is this talented man?

[amatyable]

Sexysugar40 friend if you are really sexy and want kn see him he is in nigeria. Don't care seeing him here he is very handsome and funny. He was an ex custom high officer, an igbo man. If you insist you will see him but take time not on his side. His beauty is in his eye. The illuminate.

[janero2luv]

his eyes yum

[peterclaver84]

amatyable...make sure u talk what u know well...fuck u there

[amatyable]

@peterclaver84 Ah ah do you know him more than me? Do you know when he started his music and do you know me. Why am i not sure.

[abducenVI]

CORRECT MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nadrah63]

I love this song...

[amatyable]

ojo49 chimezi is a true correct man. Do you know that he was an excustom officer? I love him. Sir worrior really made mistake by trators and he wanted too much and as such left his bothers danstch, ichita and kabaka and took outside musicians. Sir worrio was a talented singer dansatch a compsoer, made him their singer but they were disappointed about his behavours in their group. Dansatch did not say it out but they were feeing bad and later they splited. Ar'nt they ibos? We have no love in us.

[xzyle101]

this is priceless...childhood memories flashing right in my face

[MILKSHAKEMIA]

This brings back sweet memories of my childhood days............

[PrinceNwerem]

[Nnfefe]

germs in a geographical expression

nigger + malaria=nigeria

[masterpluv]

God purnish. It's malria dat completes ur family.

[Nnfefe]

your country's ineptness is akin to malaria. one out of every four african is a nigerian, a crappy, scum bag ridden nation. the colonialist now commands respect

[chuckyxl2005]

you are an ass-wipe nnfefe or whatever you call yourself. go and get yourself some education ok...baft!!

[smile4kennny]

the greatest

[pinnacare1]

It can be a great country, but it is not!!!.....mismanaged , riddled by corruption,..........why are you living overseas?

Nigeria aside, Bright Chimezie is an icon, love his music, remind me of the good old 1980's...viva chimezie!!

[vpadd45]

Agree wit u ooo, CORRUPTION, Major Issue in Nigeria.

[blessedchild2]

i meant to say nigeria. and yes it is the greatest country on earth.

[blessedchild2]

i believe nigheria is the best country in the world.

[vpadd45]

Yes its the Best but wit Major Problem(Corruption)

[Markks100]

Many who used to dance to this song, dance no more! Six feet under the ground they are now. How time flies, and people change. Time and tide come and go. What a world!

[Positivenigerian]

Love this!

[ngwhizkid4christ]

[Michaelosinachi]

Bright Chimezie is still alive and kicking. He has no time frame in wikipedia

Bright Chimezie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Bright Chimezie (born 10 January 1960), also known as Okoro Junior, is an Nigerian Igbo highlife musician originally from Ekeoba, Ohuhu, Umuahia, Abia State of Nigeria. His type of music, popularly known as zzigima, became widely available in Nigeria from the early 80s.

[AKPOU]

@Michaelosinachi ......i love bright chimezie...up naija

[Michaelosinachi]

Wait a minute, it was Dr Sir Warrior that was peddling drug to china and was caught and given an option of either jail or an injection. He opted for the latter and was never the same again. I would know, because he is from my compound in Enyiogugu, Imo State

[sethken]

@Michaelosinachi@ your assertions are false. China does not inject drug peddlers...you will be executed in a Chinese prison...China will never inject a person and set them on their way...In-fact, no country in the world does that. You are privy to the internet, do your research...I have been to China tons.

[seebaresi]

priceless!

[annodogwu]

i tell them say no n b sucide na chop i dey chop AFRIKAN WAKIS???Ii cant stop laffing!!!!lolllllllllllllll LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great post

[bigjay11213]

[nemmank]

[bigjay11213]

Wow, this na terrible news man, i no even know, I been think say him and him Zigima band hit big and just disappear man. Make him rest on peace sha

[ndjoe1]

he is not dead i saw him on my last trip to naija he is very much alive

[bigjay11213]

Oh, I didn't know he's still alive, some guy posted on here that he was caught up on some drug scandals and was killed, I don't know how credible that info was. But thanks for the update though.

[Markks100]

Bright Chimezie from all indications is not dead. Maybe you are talking of Sir Warrior of Oriental Brothers.

[nemmank]

Bros, why u go carry drugs? I am feeling bad now

[annodogwu]

drugs??who???pla feel me in i never heard such

[chuckyxl2005]

i think you got the wrong guy. he didnt carry drugs

[bobonkiti24]

[spanisheyesy2k]

[cleyecaro]

Thanks Codewit. I can be at home even while in foreign land. Does anyone has Bright's music about onyigbo? I cant recall the title, but the one he ask " Okoro Jnr, what is onyigbo?"

I love all his music.

[ebonydean]

I jiri ngaji na mma na eri utara I wu di onye bekee. Dede mu Rogers eh eji m aka ri nu utara mu oh, a wunu onye africa

[Outreachat]

It's very fortunate that we have Bright Chimezie as a bridge between old highlife-ikworikwo music and the present. There is so much vigour to his music and even much more foresight and sophistication of form, considering that he's been in the profession now for several decades. His real contemporaries are long since gone from the scene, but "Okoro Boy" is so evergreen! Please post his 1986 song with the refrain "Okoro yeah, okoro", if anyone has it. This is fine music!

[Jeleosimi]

Bobo mi,Dis na de Jam..I've been looking for this Jam..Nice ..Really enjoyed watching the video..Is this an Original composition? Sounds off the Hook !!!

!!!! De black man wey dey there is committing suicide !!LMAO..Hillarious

Thanks for posting...God Bless

[sexysugar40]

Really i`m not an Igbo guy, but to be sincere i really like this, especially this track me and my guys back then we used to sing this song despite we a Yoruba guys. But i don`t know where is this guy again. Before i left nigeria i never heard anything about him. Can someone tell me if this man is still singing?

[lefluer80]

[ezinwanne88]

I like this song , thats' what we here experience sometimes . In oversea if u made the mistake of telling someone I will kill u will be arrested and send to jail . unlike nigeria u tell someone I would kill its' means alot of things in the nigerian world .

[ALEXDOKUN]

Tnx a MILLION 2 Bright, that was a good song and it's still a HIT!!!

[kiizzito]

[nnat83]

This is my joint brings back childhood memories

Thanks a million!!!

[Chib]

I had never heard of this song until now; when was it made? His story is very comical and I have laughed myself to fatigue.

He is old school-- he used middle-aged dancing buxom babes, instead of the anorexic eyesores of these days. His music sounds Congolese, so do: his dancing, his stature, and his mannerism. Are those musicians Congolese?

This is a great music, a great talent, and a very captivating performance in all. Is this fellow still making music?

[ibexy]

oooh thanks to who posted this song: Policeeeee policeeee

[LuvMiJeje]

Police eee Police eee, he's committing suicide, the black wey dey here is committing suicide o. This was the jam back in the day! I love youtube mehn!

[stunmama]

whaww .this song reminds me of the good old days when i was just five. i usually danced to this music. although i didn't understand what he was saying.

[MissNaija]

aaah my broda thank u very much, may God continue to butter ya bread and sugar ur tea!

[Madiebo]

Reminds me of when I was about 8 years old

[blessing514]

Codewit, thanks.

[Roddykris]

thank you, thank you, thank you. this is a blessing and 'cause to thank the almighty

[ebonydean]

God bless u my brother for this home reminder!!. Most times in this western world while struggling to establish a reasonable and acceptable identity, one tend to forget the Good Old days. I just remembered running around the house and playing all the little pranks boys play those days while Bright's beautiful music played in background from daddy's radio set tuned to the then ABS Radio 2 Onitsha. Loved it!!! Keep it coming.

[astorre2002]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!

Words can't describe how happy I am to see this Video!!!!
