Dr. Victor Olaiya - Bonsue / Abinu Eni (Audio)

[@kofinsiah4416]

All of West Africans used to feel that we were all one. That was the 1950s. We lived, played, and went to school together. In my town , Techiman, in the Brong Region of then Gold Coast, we attended school together with people from Yorubaland, Iboland, Burkina Faso (then called Upper Volta), Dahomey (now Benin), Mashie people from near Mali. Nigerian musicians played Gold Coast tunes like the ones in the play list here, and we never thought of them as not belonging to our land. Now we divide people as belonging, and not belonging. Sad, sad, sad! Music from other lands did not sound foreign. They were all loved as African music. I miss those days!

[@mosunmolaagbolade3485]

Shocked to hear. He was a destined musician. May his music continue to live after him. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

[@tundealawal4398]

Think Paradise Club Ibadan in the 60s and my jaiyejaiye aunts Nike Adepoju, Sade Alli, Kudi Akande, Sidi Aare and late Joke Sarumi on the dance floor with Kunle Olasope, Yomi Onabolu, late Dokun Famubode, Segun Adeaga, late Chief Niran Sowemimo etc. With Victor Olaiya or Roy Chicago playing. That would have been a riot of a night.

[@olusolaadebiyi65]

I remember Yomi Onabolu...he later became gm in OGTV may his soul rest in peace amen.

[@tundealawal4398]

@@olusolaadebiyi65 Amen o. Women losing their minds in the presence of socialites like Kunle Olasope, Yomi Onabolu and Segun Awolowo on the dance floor lol. God rest their souls.

@1ishara Thanks for the kind words. May the Lord bless us all.

[@jamesfosu4179]

still listening in 2019✌

[@6272Amadi]

Reminds you of Nigerian post-independence, pre-civil war, British Pound currency, "what-I-have-is-sufficient-for-me" generation. Don't let them fool you:This is the oil revenue looters generation.

[@akanmujohnson66]

A. P. Ogbonmwan true talk jare my brother.100% looters here n there.

[@waskyhenry3132]

A. P. Ogbonwam, If I'm not mistaken, this was way before the oil revenue era. Oil was insignificant at the time this music was in vogue.

[@planetolusola]

@adeyemiao Thanks for your kind word. Not on FB. Too old fashion for social networks.

[@theonwaigbo3976]

Reminds me of my dear parents ( late), Ariel Garden Club and my little friends then while living in Zaria. Ariel Garden Club, almost opposite our house along Bauhi Street, Zaria with horn speakers attached to its facial boards made it easy for us to savour all latest releases then, even at that tender age. How time flies.
