Planetolusola, I want to Thank God for your life.............. This Bini smooth jazz touched a nerve. I personally knew Amunataba as he will constantly do his rehearsal across from Oliha Primary School where I attended in the '70s. I love this song and I miss my childhood. God Bless you !!!!!!!!

Greetings from ATLANTA

[planetolusola]

@babygirl45790, you are welcom.

[babygirl45790]

@jim3573 Thanks for the interpretation of this classic song, i appreciate it ,have a nice weekend God blessed you

[Jim3573]

@babygirl45790, this is not accurate, but he is eulogising the Oba Akenzua (metaphorically called gold) who was famed to have been so handsome and imposing a personality that his presence was felt even from a distance. Amunataba says 'ama yowe erhonmwon, aghe yoe vbe ugie' literally means 'if you do not appreciate/celebrate the value or cherish the prestine worth of 'erhonmwon' (Gold), then, do not wear or adorn it on yourself as part of dressing for an occasion.
