This track reminds me of Bus Journeys (Ekene Dili Chukwu) from Enugu to Lagos in the late 70s & 80s. At every stop en route (9th Mile, Oji River, Niger Head Bridge & Ore) this will be blaring out loud on giant speakers whilst washing down Ọkpa and Mazi Ejidike/Our Lady's bread with Fanta! I've enjoyed this tune in far-flung corners of Planet Earth. Sweet nostalgic memories of my youth! May Osadebe's soul continue to Rest in Peace! Thanks for giving us this evergreen music!

I might be Igbo, Yoruba, Kissi, Kru, Loma, Akan and Gola Don’t know because we were put on Slave ships to build America. Once I heard this song, I fell in love with this HighLife sound. It’s the Year of Return, Peace!!!!

[@camilaalejandro5902]

[@LabourerEleven]

To fall in love with this music u must have Igbo blood in ur vain. The music is actually saying that obira ije ga ala meaning any one who sojourn in a land that is not his ancestral land will definitely go back home the spirit of ur ancestors lives in u bro it pains me to bone each time I think of slavery what human did to their fellow human by displacing others from their ancestral home. We are deeply sorry that this inhuman cruelty happened to our people but I can adopt u my brother this music is special to any Igbo man Because it's a kind of a kindred song
