[@johnsononyemma2894]

I was playing music while sleeping and this music was playing it seems as if I'm in another world so immediately it stopped playing, I woked up and realised that it's real then I continued playing it and one mind told me to search it in U Tube whether I will see it then I search and i got it since then I have not stop playing the music because it's very educative and touching i can remember during my tender age when my father use to play it i keep listening to it and it makes me to study my books and learned very well in the school but unfortunately to me I couldn't see any one to surport and train me in schools then I dropped at secondary level but i still thank almighty God and i promised that none of my children will ever experience lack of training and surport until they all achieves their destinies God bless this man and his family in Jesus name Amen and Amen

2024 anyone??🎉

[@believe77100]

I first heard this song at ogbe stadium in Benin city May 27 1992 children's day, when I was in JSS 2, Students were matching, I sat one side meditating on the song, today exactly 30years the song still sounds real and I can never forget the memory, from Switzerland was just discussing with My wife who also I knew in 1994 while growing up as teenagers, as we discussed about how childrens put on stocking 🧦 and match on May 27 children day in Nigeria, I thought it was sunny Okosun song, it took me more than five minutes after different search on KZbin here before I stumbled on the song, I never knew the singer, but today I put it into record and is not going leave my memory, my brother your Father indeed is a living legendary, his songs is a source of hope, inspiration and aspirations to a whole lot of generations. Much respect to him, May him continue rest in the bosom of God Amennnnnn 🙏🏿

[@SOLOMON-f7v]

I want to be here again to listen to this song again by 2030..September 19th. .. Join me!

[@Victor-p4p4n]

2024 who's here. Old but Gold.

[@SamuelAgoziem-wy4ns]

I am dear it's such a meaningful song.

[@ValentineOkike]

Indeed this song is a generational blessing. The lyrics of this song caught my attention as a little boy of about 10 years struggling to earn a living independent of my parents in Lagos. This song didn’t only give me strength and hope, it taught me that there is reward for hard work. I could still remember how my eyes teared as I sat down tired, listening to this song, exhausted of hawking on the streets of Lagos island without my parents near , without my siblings, all living in the village. I remember vividly how I resolved not to allow my present condition then determine my success. The song gave me hope , gave me inspiration, gave me dignity. Today I can say that God used this wonderful song to shape my world. Thirty years after, the song still resonates in my mind . I never knew the artiste until very recently when I heard the song and I searched through the internet and was elated when I stumbled over it. May God continue to rest the soul of Echo amen.

[@marksinclair4125]
