[vancouverbabe]

[Jiguhbiduh]

24 people were not blessed with sweet mothers.

[realhiphopnation25]

For all the people who keep trying to figure out which country has "ownership" of this man or song, just know that Nigeria and Cameroon used to be one country until the British separated us. This song is sung in Nigerian Pidgin but has a Cameroon melody. Embrace it, we are all one. Where Nigerians are, Cameroons are and vice versa. Africa unite!

[jehubox19]

@realhiphopnation25 I'm from Cameroon and this has been a major topic over and over again back home... Truth been told right here, we'all ONE!!! WORD UP

[R2P11]

thanx for tha song prince makes me remember my sweet mother alwayz when i listen to the song..rip swt mother 4 years now i thoght was a dream now i know itz real she is not around me...sweet mother i never 4get you...

[Elias40205]

after radio Akwaibom news broadcast, my father's(papa) favourite Prince Nico hits the air, a kerosene bush lamp on our center table, in a wooden house, the sounds of crikets and bats eating from fruit trees few meters from the roof , with the moonlight illuminating with its natural light, sweet mother will make sure i take supper, study for a while and go to sleep, she set's up the mosquito net while am deep asleep. RIP PAPA , may God grant mama many more years, i love mami, you too papa.

[AVoniks]

Prince Nico, well done, this is africa's anthem of all time. Every party we had here in england we played this song, it got people up of off their chairs and propping up the walls just frinking and eating to DANCING, until they were sweating.

A beautiful dedication to all sweet mothers. You can tell this man loved his mother and appreciated her, just the listen to the lyrics.

we are barbadians living in england.

[sergengalle]

j'adore cette musique et ça me rappelle combien ma mère a souffert pour nous.Je t'aime maman et tu me manques , loin de moi que tu es dans notre chère Afrique.

[aloko75]

hey sweet mother, na only God way he go give you back all wety you don do for me and for the whole family.

Thank you Prince for da song, na here way i get words for thank ma mamie

[24claudius]

[Isiejeme0829]

Dedicating this to my beloved mum Ehobhayime IKhilor. Miss you but know you're in a better place.

[sidragasum1]

[MelvinWren]

@sidragasum1 your death metal band should cover this.

id listen to it.

[Nekissbaby]

ODIBEZE, CHIDUMEKWU, MY SWEETEST MOTHER, REST IN PERFECT PEACE

[Sam10kai]

This is great, may God bless all the mother out there for the good job they are doing.

Hearing "sweet mother" this afternoon while sitting in my office brought tears to my eyes. The nostalgia that I experience took me to the sinkor old road, Monrovia, Liberia in the year 1976. Prince Nico Mbarga was great, may his soul rest in peace.

Thanks for keeping this great African music alive.

Best regards,

Sando McGee

[Munduone]

Bless you Sweet Mother untill that time we meet again. Bless all the mothers of the world . . .

[nmadoya]

Thank God for the mothers............

[chilled99]

Hearing this you hear where many music styles have been created or influenced. Thanks from Jamaica.

[Blandine2012]

23 sad people don't have sweet mothers...:'(

[daveibukun]

WHAT???????? ARE YOU SERIOUS???? THEY PLAY THIS SONG IN COLOMBIA????? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[bgdt83]

i'm looking for a song like this one and adjoua but i think the name is 'awa' or something like that can somebody help me pleassseee

i think it's a ghanan song

[MrEbais]

When you migrated to Mamfe from Yaounde, we thought you were like the other French speaking Cameroonians!! But you came learnt pigin English, igbo and music and later on you moved to Nigeria and made a forture with Neka Okwonkwo. Rest in peace

[chung1chu]

@MrEbais

He probably knew pidgin from Cameroon as not only was his mother Nigerian, Some parts of Cameroon also speak pidgin.

[chung1chu]

@MrEbais

Also, I think he was born in Nigeria.

[theocpeters]

The music of all times,Sweet mother just like the proverbial old wine that never fades.Beautiful work from an African legend Prince Nico Mbarga.R.I.P

[Fadil76]

May Allah admit him into his paradise

[nonkelpater]

Groetjes uit België. Ik mis mijn vrouwtje, ze is op vakantie in Nigeria. Sweet woman, God help me, I need you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LilDaveey]

merci prince nico mbarga

[apocalikkk1]

viva africa viva cartagena colombia

[OMAMOJULIUS]

This song rocked our national radio station(Kenya Broadcasting Cooperation) in the early 90s. I used to think Nico was a Kenyan artist

[chung1chu]

@OMAMOJULIUS

Even though he sang in Pidgin?

[akin1989]

This is great music. The music coming out of Africa nowadays is just trying to imitate US culture and sucks big time. This is original and a classic

[remakim2]

GOLD

[Kenx95]

Prince Nico was born raised and lived in Ebonyi State Nigeria. His mother is an Igbo Nigerian and his father is of Cameroonian origin. Nico is an Igbo but despite that, this song is still pure magic.

One of the simplest yet most meaningful tune in African music.

[clauperri]

@Kenx95 OMG, I always thought that he is "totally" cameroonian. Huge blow for my national pride ;-) ;-)

Great song though.

[maryray10]

@clauperri then keep on thinking that if it means that much to u. Nigeria and Cameroon used to be together b4 we got separated by the british; so u could tell yourself ur ancestors added to his talented genes. To me all Africans are one, so better yet take pride in anything that comes out of Africa not just ur Country. I'm Nigerian but i'm proud when any Black especially African Nation succeeds

[sambaboy77]

Jah Bless..Thanks.. for the memory!!

[bay2joe]

lovely.....

[queenmenky]

Just beautiful. Timeless for sure. Words cannot describe the joy and pride I have everytime I hear this music

[queenmenky]

[sukeriano]

Precioso rítmo  nigerina década de los setenta me gusta

[fred135piru]

i love this shyt

[YEJIX]

I feel this deep nostalgia anytime I hear this song.. I had just graduated from college and arrived home.This song was wafting down to first floor of the house from the second , I rushed upstairs to find my younger siblings partying with some real sweet chicks, pulled one free chick on to the floor and danced all afternoon. This song always compels me to reflect back to those good old days of my youth. GOD BLESS NICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[collovat]

very nice song remember when I was too young

[koroboy29]

dedicace a ts les mamans du monde + particulierement a ma tres chere et adoree mere K.V puisse dieu te donner longue afin q tu vois ce q deviendra ton petit garçon (moi) et qu'il puisse remplir mes poches et realiser mes reves pour q je te comble de bonheur pour ts ls sacrifices, mille et un bien q tu m'as donne a moi et mes freres.

Sweet Mother Sweet mother I no go forget you for the suffer wey you suffer for me. Sweet mother I no go forget you for the suffer wey you suffer for me. When I dey cry, my mother go carry me--she go say, 'my pikin', wetin you dey cry ye, ye, stop stop, stop stop make you no cry again oh." When I dey hungry, my mother go run up and down. When I won sleep, my mother go pet me, she go lie me well well for bed, she cover me cloth, sing me to sleep, "sleep sleep my pikin oh."

[nnaamen]

Gives me chills. Not just the song, but the memories that go with it. Coal city 4 life

[harunaification]

I can't believe that someone will dislike this music. Anyway they have their reasons but I do not think they are proud africans. Please learn 2 appreciate ur mother because you have ONLY ONE MOTHER

[MrCeeJay007]

Rest in Peace Prince Nico Mgbaga... Even as you are gone your music brings you alive. As long as there are still mothers, you will ever be remembered for this GREAT TRIBUTES to mothers. To all mothers out there... I say we love you all... God bless you all. May you all reap the joy of being mothers. And to my wonderful loving mama, I will love and cherish you forever. May the Good Lord continue to bless and protect you for me in Jesus Name... amen..!!

[12345617409]

If, I, listen to Prince Nico Mbarga songs on your website it brings tears to my eyes for such unforgotten man like this; and the Nigerians never recognised his part play in that nation, even if he has problem with the country (Nigeria), he should had been remembered.

[EkereGbe]

AS LONG AS THERE WILL ALWAYS BE "MOTHERS"..

THIS SONG WILL FOREVER BE EVER GREEN, RELEVANT AND TIMELESS!

MOMS ARE THE BEST !..MOMS ARE THE GREATEST !.. MOMS ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL !..MOMS ARE THE SWEETEST !..MOMS ARE LOVING !..MOMS ARE CARING!.. Even if you are POOR, HOMELESS AND UGLY, which i believe no one is, your MOM Will always love you..Your wife or girlfriend may walk out on you..But MOM WILL NEVER WALK OUT ON YOU !. SHOW YOUR MOM SOME LOVE Y'ALL RETURN THE FAVOR..I LOVE YOU MOM..

there has never been and probably never will be a song that encapsules the soul and gratitude every grown up child tries to express to his/her mother... this crossed many languge barriers anyone that hears it immediately knows what it is all about... shame they don't sing song like this anymore....unbeatable/unforget­able

I'm from Sao Paulo-Brazil, and I had the great pleasure to work for P&T in Lagos in 1977 and 78. I love all the Nigerians, (Youruba, Ibo and Hausa) and this song reminds me my unforgetable yeas in West Africa. Thank you....

[estad1234]

tremendo tema del príncipe nigeriano uno de los mas grande de la música africana,su nombre perdurará y con letras de oro,es un tema de la barranquilla de antaño cuando íbamos a las verbenas de cualquier barrio y nos veníamos a pie sin ningún problema oohhh que tiempos aquellos.
