[@marvisnwokocha6772]

@@josephkobe2357 A big fat lie! For instance this particular song , elu rie ala rie was composed by Sir Warrior. It was written on the lp. Dan Satch composed Ibezimako but Warrior composed most of their songs till he separated with Satch in1980. Infact Sir Warrior single- handedly composed composed albums like Nwanne Awu Enyi and Obinwanne. These things are acknowledged on these albums.

[@radycsebastine7711]

The bass line is off the chain. Do you let me start with the rhythmic hithats

[@Zaramoku]

On the album picture are: Tony Awoma (facing the opposite direction), Emensa, Dan Satch, Warrior, and Aloy Anyanwu. RIP to Warrior and Aloy.

[@primustv2]

what role did Emensa performed in the Oriental Brothers; and where is he from? is he dead or alive?

[@primustv2]

What is hapening here does it mean that Akwila(Livinus Alaribe)was not among them? what of Ichita? I can posit that Aloy played the Bass Guitar; Dansatch played the Lead Guiterist, and Awoma played the solo Guitar... What role did Emensa Performed here(In This Song).

[@Zaramoku]

Primus Chinonye+++ Akwila and Ichita had just left the band when this album was released -- actually this song (Elu rie ma ala rie) is indicating that those members who were not comfortable with Oriental Brothers Band, as it existed, had left and were on what made them comfortable. That was the figurative meaning of the song -- everyone was on what they preferred. Lead and Solo Guitar mean the same thing. Awoma played lead guitar while Dan Satch played rhythm guitar. Awoma was supposed to be the original lead guitarist of Oriental Brothers but he left at the formative stage, when the band was struggling and having difficulty even feeding its members. Dan Satch found Kabaka in Lagos to take Awoma's place. Emensa was a master conga/percussion player -- he featured in many bands but was very prominent within the Oriental Brothers circle. He was a member of Aloy Anyanwu's State Brothers Band. Nwanna, don't make me reveal all the stuffs we would be putting in our supposedly forthcoming book, lol.

[@emmanuelemmanuel1045]

[@marvisnwokocha6772]

Mammy water in mentioned in one those Igbo proverbs. Sir Warrior's songs are full of proverbs like, "ogbu turu ime ya muo nshi la aja" meaning, "when jealousy gets pregnant it gives birth to witchcraft and sorcery". It's sometimes very difficult to translate some of those proverbs accurately in English because there may not be appropriate English words for some things mentioned in the proverb. Umunnem what is "Agwu ishi" in English?

[@marvisnwokocha6772]

As we can say in today's parlance, "when a prostitute gets old without achieving anything, she will blame evil spirit 'mammy water' ."

The head of the Oracle said he won't go to church, eventually the only time he went he return home as mami water (woman marine spirit)😂

In summary, the song is for justice and fairness to all. It is delivered in so many Igbo proverbs that may be complicated to translate one after the other. Most Igbos that commented above chose to translate or repeat the proverb that appeals to them most.
