Nnam gwalum na Obulu na Udala amaro ebe nkpoluguya di, O ga ada, odanye na ofia ofeke, si na obumu gwali, "
My father told me that if an udala fruit lacked knowledge of the roots of the tree that produced it, would surely fall into the evil forest of the profane,

The same Skylark used this phrase in one of its songs:
Ije love, Ije love egbuom na uwa! The album has interesting tracks such as Ndi oru uzo (agbaghara) ibe ha, Ochonma kpara aku; Sambola mama, and a special track dedicated to the people of Aro Oke-Igbo (your people). Imana Dan Orji (Skylark Band) bu onye Arochukwu maa amuo ya na ala Owerri? Ify nne, enwekwaram egwu Mary Kalu (Aro Women Cultural Group). Ihe ndi Aro na amasim.
