[TheModella17]

ah, when I was young, I had Awilo Longomba and Koffi Olomide's CD...at birthday parties, me and my brother would be dancing to this particular song in a makossa competition. This song made my childhood...love from Nigeria...

[TheCottec1]

awilo never smell u.s man but thou he might be one of the furgitives in congo smh

[TheCottec1]

i remembered diz dude hmm

[Fraudsteralert]

Be warned!!!!. Awilo is perpertuating fraud in the U.S. Everyone should beware that a lady by the name Grace Haukwa also hiding behind a company nabtry productions is duping people and purporting to be Awillo's manager. She signs a contract with you on behalf of Awillo and then ask you to pay money into her personal acct. She is also in cohort with a group of Nigerians led by one Larry B or Dickson Aligbe. They operate as Lamic Entertainment. I was recently duped for $4,150. Awilo is aware!

[Gisabelle247]

@Fraudsteralert Haters

[jaysigg1]

[batmankid45]

the white dude looks like benzima

[lamin911]

@batmankid45 he is from morocco

[AcheronJama]

@lamin911 Actually he is Congolese but i don't know which Congo he is from. Even with out knowing that he is Congolese you can tell he is from a French speaking African country and Morocco ain't one of them.

[lamin911]

@AcheronJama He is from the Democratic Republic of Congo

[lamin911]

@lamin911 The man at 0:49 is from Morocco and Awilo is from the Democratic Republic of Congo

[Spongyb]

@AcheronJama : Are you telling us Morocco is not Afreican country?

[LabeerehnGbanna]

@flowlord13 Most people in Africa have very limited access to the Internet, and many others have absolutely no access at all. That's why. Whatever the case, they still would recognize any of Awilo's tunes anytime, anywhere!

[Klipmode]

@flowlord13 if all countries in africa had adequate n affordable internet im sure it would hit a billion views

[solifunky9]
