  • This makes me to remember when Nigeria was really great. I hope more 'Lijadu Sisters' will arise in due course. I pray for God's infinite blessings on them wherever they are.

  • Bien hermosas, desde la mera raiz.

  • @atujaycee Why u're so angry beats me...

  • Oh my God!! Wish they return to music scene, Its a lot better than the 80s now. 'Reincarnation'? If there's no reincarnation I would like to go back blah blah blah blah. God bless you Sis. This group will be hot when they return. Wow!, Lijadu is a household name O. I'd like to design some fabulous outfit for a video. Wow! No be small! I hope they just get on with it. Bless you sisters.

  • British Decca Recording company back then exploited the artists for paltry sum. Decca sold their records in millions yet they lived no luxurious life, the artists didn't even own a car. Decca set rules of extortion to exploit back then. I wish they could come back again.

  • aDecac

  • I just got to know about these women. I am falling in love with them already. I am in a younger generation (late 80s). very interesting to hear such enlightment of Nigerian women in the 70s.

  • Good job. It's good to hear Taiwo and Kehinde Lijadu again.

  • Who told u they are still active? Can't you see this recording was done long ago (probably in the 1980s)? Can't you see the afro hairstyles of the men, the old-school fashion and the simple lifestyles then? Also, can't you see the quality of the commentary that it is old school? Keep on waiting. Maybe till you reincarnate to the "next life". Reincarnation my foot!

  • I have not seen the Ibeji since 2004, I do miss them. I pray all is well with them and family. Ase!
