[lurvagal]

@damazzioo I totally remember...but my brothers and I used to say If you give me one rice, if you give me one beans, if you give me one kpomo I go manage am...lol..beg beg like us

[queenmuriel3]

@lurvagal so true. :) :)

[eveniye]

I think that the man she married (Emma Ogosi) contributed to her lack of success!

[vixxy02]

@eveniye Yes I think you're right! I heard he was jealous of her success,seeing that she became more successful than him, and he being her manager......

[04maro]

Tuneeee!!!

[EnuBed]

Please good people,I know the language Evi-Edna used in this music is from the "old Bendel state". I don`t know if it is Eshan,Urhobo, or Bini or Etsako language. Somebody who knows should kindly tell me and indeed explain what she was saying in this nice music. I miss home.............I am away in UK.

Thank you.

[joyojo1000]

@EnuBed ,she is from Isoko delta state nigera

[EnuBed]

Please help me fellow U-tubers. I am a Nigerian in diaspora.....I live in UK. I think the language Evi Edna used for this nice music is definitely from "old Bendel State". I don`t know if it is Ishan, Isoko,Urhobo,Bini or Etsako language. Somebody who knows should please tell me and also explain what she was saying in this music. I love the melody, even though I don`t understand the language.

Thank you.

[momohj25]

Oh, good God! so, touching!! Evi Edna, was my mum favorite. reminds me of my growing up in the military barack, ojo. my mum was selling groundnut and bread, just to make us survive. i lost her when i was about to graduate fron d university. At the barrack you can enjoy life of different tribe dancing to their music. life was good then despite the fact that there was no money. my mum is not around to enjoy what she has sown! love u mum, luv edna, luv u Nigera!!!

[momohj25]

Oh, my God! Evi was one of my mothers favorite, reminds me of when we were growing up in d military barack, ojo. my mum was selling groundnut and bread, just to make us survive. life was sweet then, despite there was no money. there in d barack, u can find different kind of tribes, we dance to different tribes music. my mum a lovely woman, i lost her when i was about to graduate frm d university. here iam in europe, making good money, shes not here to enjoy wat she has sown. make me wanna cry.

[smcmgal]

@momohj25 - I am sure your mum would have been proud of you. I won't be surprised if she worked hard not necessarily to enjoy the benefits but that you can enjoy them. Hopefully, you would pass on the values that she had to others.

[momohj25]

@smcmgal - thank you!!! u may be right! thats d reason i always thank God for her life and give the best in whatever i do.

[debozieux1]

oh godbless u forever

[mailrosy22]

[pappyscratch]

Wow. Lovely song,the original tune to so many other songs.When we were kids,we changed the song to "If you give me some meat,if you give some fish,if you give me some kpomo,I go manage am"LOL.

[adoboli]

Merci Evi Edna pour cette musique qui avait vibrée le continent Noir en 1988. Une langue pafaite comme Igo..Je pense toujours à toi ma soeur. Merci

[slick415]

[spyroxx1]

please post orits williks video .music

[neyazsyed]

my country is bangladesh btw :D

[neyazsyed]

my real country is bangladesh btw :D

[neyazsyed]

this song brought tears to my eyes...especially since i heard it after soo long time...those were the classic days, life looked soo simple then, really miss my childhood in nigeria, even though i am not a nigerian but having been born and brought up there, i feel more at home in naija than my real country....sigh wish time could just stand still and nevva change...too bad....that's just what life is i guess...sigh

[tamale26]

things were really so simple as a child. this song reminds me: only food, play, sleep and hapiness as a child but when grow you realise life is much more than that lol

[ositanwoye]

A classic!

[Ogaga4Luv007]

Nice Song

make me to flash back my time i spend at Oleh

[juicudy]

wow, this is the one song that binds me and my cousins for life. Ugo and Co 4ever.The Crazy eight will unite one day.

[funshofakolujo]

I agree with u Shalomeveryone.This song def reminds me of growing up back home in Naija.All the money and luxury cannot replace the fact that Naija is still HOME

[atujaycee]

Yes indeed. I spent one yr in rural Nigeria during my NYSC. A very remote village, no network, little power etc. But when I compare the joy I had there with that I have here in Europe. The one in Naija surpasses even though I have far more of the world's goods now.

Truly, as Jesus says " A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of things that he possesses. We should always draw clos to God cos, when all is over, it is only our closeness to him that will count

[swtqtnel]

@atujaycee Word!!!

Now i wish things go back to those days when we didnt have to worry about GSM, laptops, exortic cars and all the bad things of life.

[omogaju]

@atujaycee you should head back to the village then

[maryray10]

@omogaju how nice of u to be sarcastic to a meaningful comment like Atujaycee...she/he is reminiscing about positive memories of the past and the advantages..Atu didnt say she'd rather be poor just that she had a lot of fun in 9ja and money is not everything. I concur because if 9ja govts better the state of Nigeria, Nigeria would be one of the best places in the world to live in

[forza22kaka]

@atujaycee Very true.....thanks - you just talked to me. So interesting that a comment made 2 years ago still blesses. God bless you.

[rite2wale]

@atujaycee Well said

[smile4kennny]

@atujaycee God Bless u!

[shalomeveryone]

wow! however posted this video, God bless you!

it brought tears to my eyes! i remember life in 9ja & the struggles, inspite of that, my childhood was v v happy. now that i am out of the country, i really miss it.

just goes to show that money or luxury is not the source of happiness.

[MissNaija]

kai naija had some real singers when I was growing up o, that ALL the kids knew! From Evi edna ogholi to Onyeka to Sunny Ade to Shina...take me back to my childhood jare!!

[7olusegun]

Life look kinda deceptive; thinking back past looks like euphoric nostalgia; but those tima atimes, person just dey chop garri and egungun come take tombo wash am down and go play draft for race course area, come home for nite after im don experience area boy for road. Bad things. I thank God say despite all dis, we don overcome.

[jaywinzy]

unomaazuwa i agree with you... even if the Artist we got now re tryin but back then was the best.... no matter how much they put it ....

[unomaazuah]

When Nigeria had unique singers and musicians...not what they have these days: wannabe snoop dogs,lil kims, Jay-z, Neyo, and the list goes on. Faze dem are not too bad though.

[04maro]

i miss waffi..its naji 4 life could be a british man today but i still know my root blood..i love warri

[Nestoba]

So how is life treating you out there! What about America dreams! Is it real!

[boypea]

Nestoba life in America is nice,and its almost as good as what i use hear about it back home before coming over.Hard work and determination will pays up to ur expectations or more.

[boypea]

Hoo my God,I remember when my mom was crying and trying to make hands meet,me watching my school uniform that has a hole on the ass lol,me not wanting to go to school,me with other kids runing around the compound in waffy...Hooo life is so quick if only I could rewind it all and bring mom back....Life in America has been sweet but not acient and great.Hoo God I want my childhood back.

[boypea]

Hoo my God,I remember when my mom was crying and trying to make hands meet,me watching my school uniform that has a hole on the ass lol,me not wanting to go to school,me with other kids runing around the compound in waffy...Hooo life is so quick if only I could rewind it all and bring mom back....Life in America has been sweet but not acient and great.Hoo God I want my childhood back.
