[color=#990000][/color] Wow I am the first to comment on a FP. First time thou, also on the first Sunday of the year.


Hmm now I see, pastor said if we testify, God 'll bless us more, and I testified today at church. so I guess this is a sign of the blessings and many more to come this year.


Hit the like button if you want me blessed this year.


NO I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS LIST

Nice! But there are some songs(evergreen) not included.

Great list!

Do you agree that Funmi Adams song "Ahaye Yaro" would make a better substitute for her "Nigeria my beloved country"?
Also, I would substitute "Biri Ka M'biri" for "Identity" when I consider the major hits by Oliver De Coque.

Your list has just made me start searching on Youtube for some songs I forgot ever existed, and some I don't think I've heard of.
My old boy still has several LP records that I play on occasions. I recently began converting them to mp3 so he can play them on portable devices.

Modified!
I had to add this. @OP: Admit it. You made this list mostly from a single page from Youtube
Or, rather, whoever compiled the list did so from almost a single Youtube page. Just search and play one of the above songs, then check out the rest of the songs displayed on the sideboard.
I searched for that song by Dan Maraya, and while it was playing, I realized that most of the songs on the list were displayed right there at the sideboard on the right.
Anyhow, you just made me give myself an assignment for the rest of today. Im gonna be searching for, and downloading some songs I could remember from childhood. Thanks!

Don't agree

I agree with your substitutes, i was downloading a couple of evergreens when i stumbled on this list, you should click the link in the original post, you can download all the songs on this list.

alright no wahala.
There are old record albums of almost all these songs in my house. Its just lying there. Dunno what to do with them. My dad doesn't even want them again. He took all Osadebe's albums and left others. I can't even destroy the albums.

I would advise that you keep them really safe and in good condition, they could be worth a fortune in years to come.

Is that so? How amusing!.

Shit! Really Indomie generations won't know some of these songs!.

Am being ripped apart by nostalgia!
