Nelly Uchendu - Love Nwantinti (Audio)

To many, the name Nelly Uchenna may not ring a bell, but hum the song " Love Nwantiti" and smiles would spread on the faces of [her admirers]. "Love Nwantiti" was that hit song that brought prominence to Nelly Uchendu.

...Nelly, who lived all her life in Enugu, would also be remembered for "Waka," another hit song that clearly established her as the Golden Voice of the Nigerian music industry. Honoured with the National Honour, Member of the Order of the Niger (MON), Nelly Uchendu, whose last moment on earth was spent battling the Anambra State government for gratuity, joined her ancestors after a brief illness. The news of her death spread like a wild fire and sent shock waves across [Nigeria].

[Friday, May 20, 2005] was blackout for the music industry as friends, relations and colleagues gathered in Ogidi for the final burial rites. It was tears galore. Emotions were high. Sadness and agony were in the faces of the people around. That was at Ogidi, Anambra State, at the burial of Mrs. Nelly Uzonna Ikpeze (Nee Uchendu). Nelly died at the age of 55 after a brief illness. It was a very solemn ceremony as her family, colleagues, friends and well-wishers assembled to pay her last respects, and it was tribute galore, as well.

@eezeok01 Here's a suggestion, you should demand a refund from whomever taught you Igbo!!.

[emecca123]

@planetolusola Hey Planet I hope you are being fictitious re: eezeo01, this person has a warped mind!!.

[eezeok01]

"Ife ibu n'obi, ife ibu n'obi na bu iko na anya" In igbo "ikwa iko" means "sex". What you (I) had in mind was sex and lo and behold "it is reality" ( What I saw). Listen some more..............hahahaha!

[TheOzo64]

when did Nelly die and was it true she was frolicking with Jim Nwobodo?

[eezeok01]

@Geenona,Listen to the SONG "Akabueze". It begins like this: "A nake' ne mmadu, a nake' ". MEANING " A naked person, a naked person".It was about being naked! You probably did NOT do well in High School English Comprehension and Essay.Okay, Geenona give us YOUR own understanding of what the SONGS( "Love Nwantinti" and "Akabueze") were about so that people can compare to what came from Nelly.I still LOVE Nelly.We should invent TECHNOLOGY to freeze DEAD people,then later bring them back to life.
