2023 and I’m almost in tears from the lyrics, the insanely beautiful orchestra , and the nostalgia washing over me. Lagbaja and Ego are such musical geniuses. I’m sure I speak for all when I say we’d ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have you back!!! Even if its for one night live in concert pleaseeeeee
This particular song reminds me when my boyfriend who is now the father of my children left Nigeria 🇳🇬 to oversea !! Thank God for grace .. I remember playing this music crying every night
This is one of naija's classics right here. I love how the blend of traditional and western sounds were infused so perfectly in this song. Truly a masterpiece.
The year is 2021 and this song still has the same effect it had on me when it was released more than 14yrs ago. Timeless work of art! Thank you Lagbaja & Ego! ❤️❤️
Even the video seems to me one of the realest Nigerian videos ever I mean look at how he used and Agbole(old village house) and allow people in the compound to watch such a master piece
I grew up listening to this song, i fell in love with Ego from Nothing for you to Skentele then finally, this track, she simply killed it. She and Lagbaja were like perfectly fitting jigsaw pieces. This song is a masterpiece.
Hey kids of the future year 2080, I'm here to testify to you in the year 2023 that I'm able to witness this legend, he was one of the finest musician Nigeria ever produced
I have been listening to this music back then in 2006 in Ghana. just came to mind to look for this song again. it is a song for the soul. this is good music. when i decided to go back and look for the song, i forgot the title but the name LAGBAJA just came flying in memory. I appreciate good music and will follow it wherever.
Kwame Essien you were enjoying this song from way back! Nice one Chale. We should connect soon o. Swung by the office a few weeks ago to see Charles Quansah.
Lagbaja is a tall,slender,dark handsome man,very good looking.I met him at a beauty show Bimbo Peller organised @ Kwara Hotel ilorin in 1996,I was opportuned to meet him before the show at the hotel with the organiser's crew
“If lagbaja made this best now {2019}...he would have been a musical genius”...So, making it in 2006 does not make him a musical genius? 😂😂😂 make it make sense 🥴
October 2024 and this song still hits like never before 😢so much soul poured into this masterpiece 😅no song can ever be compared, the violins, drums everything representing the African culture 😊
Lagbaja is amazing and ego too I love this song, this song made me find my voice made me realize my singing talent and also made me love live music the syncing of the African drums and the strings it’s just immensely beautiful. Will love to dance to it with my partner some day
Its 2024 and this Jam was could stand out from the quality of in terms lyrics, vocals, beats, and orchestration of what music is today. Lagbaja is definitely a pioneer of Afrobeat being where it is now.
Gilles Bois d'ébène LOL!!! Just LOL... He, in no way whatsoever, even IMPLIED that talented artists only came from Nigeria. So, I haven't a clue why you'd react to his comment in such a manner. Also, one does not have to be Nigerian to be of the opinion that, "Nigerian artists are very talented plus gifted."
sorry i was not really criticicizing .... my point was ... please lets be more african ... i noticed we are not african enough . Africa to me shoul not appear as being A country . lets work for this one pupose . Thats what i mean . other wise .. i agree .. Nigerians are very talented .
Gilles de Bois d'ébène @ No, we will be more Africans don’t mean we will be less Nigerians.. We’re Nigeria 🇳🇬 FIRST. In fact, I’m Yoruba FIRST because that’s the CORE of my identity. You don’t hear Americans says Northern Americans the most racist or Talented set of people in the world. They say Americans. So yes the Nigerian is absolutely right. Now, we need to figure this framing thing out in Pan Africanism context. Say, Nigerian-African. Or African-Nigerian or African-Ghanaian or Kenyan whatever. Because my Yorubaniest trumps my Nigerianess and my Nigerianess is ultimately the winner. So, no being more Nigerian ultimately guarantees my Africaness! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
One of my all time favorite songs by Lagbaja, i fell in love with the song from late 2006 to date. i just don't understand why is he not popular like other Naija artists???
Na today Naija to rock good music. What Wizkid Burna boy, Davido, Olamide.......the list is endless, are doing today is a continuation of yesterday's success, the standard and pace already set by people like Lagbaja and all the great artists in the past.
Lagbaja is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional composers I've ever encountered in my lifetime. It took me some time to truly grasp the profound musical prowess of this remarkable artist. Lagbaja's talent transcends any attempt at replication or imitation.
Bro I just smoked and stumbled on this jam For the first time and my mind blown to shreds with this MASTERFUL PIECE!! Total display of LEGENDARY CRAFT !! ❤❤❤❤
OH MY GOOD GOD. I decided to enter UA-cam and boom, this song just pops out and I was like WHAAAATTTTTT. I feel nostalgic seeing this right now. WOW. What a song this was. I don't know how to express how I feel to have this after 18 years. How time really flies. I watched this October 25, 2024. Who else watched with me today?
Once again sublime songs and the video tells the whole story. The way Lagbaja has interwoven traditional African instruments with the string orchestra and used so many images, shows instinct and a deep understanding this guy is gifted no question about it!
I was very young when this song was released. But it’s keeps finding it’s way back to my heart. I must confess, music then was magical. I can’t love this song less.
Back in the day, I never really observed Lagbaja conducting the orchestra and musicians in that manner. It is such a beauty to watch now and appreciate a musical genius put his body(literally)and soul into such a perfect and classic performance. Loving it, and it's 2024!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
One of Lagbaja's best songs (IF YOU ASK ME). In retrospect, it looked like they knew they would no longer be together...Or will they ever come back together as the song suggest? (I can only imagine..). The duo were an excellent combo!
I was walking home from NYSC when I first heard this song in 2001. I went to one dude selling DVD and he handed me one. I rushed home and sat my family down to watch. We saw it more than twenty times that night and it still has the same effect it had on me that night till this day.
This masterpiece is forever evergreen … the video , her voice and the whole artistry is just so excellent…the video depicts African excellence and uniqueness
This is music!!! It's 2023 and I still appreciate every bit of this. I think we've lost our way in terms of music in Nigeria. it has to go back to what it was back then.
My man is very clever! 1st time i've listen to him. I would like to see him in concert, I love my African brothers & sistas! I'll definitely play his music in my yoga classes.1luv
I have this song in my phone, but for no particular reason, I thought to look it up on UA-cam. Man, I think it's the best decision I have made today. Ego's voice gave me goosebumps. Lagbaja, the masked singer. The mystery surrounding who he was made his songs all the more exciting. One of the best Nigerian musicians I have seen in my lifetime. Honestly, I thought that in 2022, we would have evolved beyond this ,(musically 🤪), but these new crops of artistes don't even hold a candlelight to the kinds of artistes we had in the past. Stylplus, Plantashun Boyz, Infinity, Tuface Idibia, Faze, heck even Bracket!! I was at garden last night and when I'M WITH YOU MY LOVY LOVY came on, fond memories crept back in... Those were the days of classic Nigerian songs.
WHAT AN EMOTIONAL WAY TO SAY GOODBYE TO A GOOD BOSS .....EGO CREATED A VOID IN LAGBAJA.I REALLY LOVE THIS TRACK DEC 2016 STILL ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL MELODY
This song came out while I was in the primary school, I really loved it then. One thing led to another and I'm here listening to it again. This is such a legendary and genius work of art. Lagbaja is so underrated in the music industry. The way and smiling and tapping my feet while listening to this, I'm afraid people around me won't think something is wrong with me. 😂😂
Why? ... I life we all need to grow .. to better ourselves, I believe there is no point Ego coming back to Lagbaja expect they both have song to make together.
This is 2024 and I’m here to reiterate that this is the best Nigerian record ever.
Whooosh! Goosebumps all over again !
No lies
Yo
Aswear...as if it's being sung today ❤
I very much agree with you!
🔥🔥🔥
2023 and I’m almost in tears from the lyrics, the insanely beautiful orchestra , and the nostalgia washing over me. Lagbaja and Ego are such musical geniuses. I’m sure I speak for all when I say we’d ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have you back!!! Even if its for one night live in concert pleaseeeeee
same ij popped up in my head and i played it for the first time in years and honestly it still hits hard
😊😊

Perfect idea
Far better than the songs people sing nowadays.

A blend of modern and traditional instruments in perfect harmony with the most melodious voice you'll ever hear. This is music!
This is the ultimate love song between Nigerians and Nigeria. God bless us both!
Jato Jejeniwa you right sir.
I tell you!
You got the message.....
The accuracy...
This!!!! This comment is timeless ❤
i am from from Zimbabwe and we loved it when Lagbaja visited us in the late 90's. long live Lagbaja
Wow..Really. Impressive. Didn't know he had such a wide reach and even going way back. Lovely ❤
@@shodapad07 he performed at the now defunct Harare international Festival of Arts (Hifa)
One of the best songs to come out of Naija. Highly underrated. I still get goosebumps listening to it in 2020
2018?????????
Here! Present
2018!
Here
Here
In here 2018. This beat is mad
Nigerians where have you been hiding this? damn!
This song is so underrated. Should have been a global phenomenon
Can we take a minute to give Ego her props for blessing us with her amazing voice all these years.
I grew up listening to this song, i fell in love with Ego from Nothing for you to Skentele then finally, this track, she simply killed it. She and Lagbaja were like perfectly fitting jigsaw pieces. This song is a masterpiece.
I miss them together
The year is 2023, and I still enjoy this song as much! Such a timeless piece ❤
Hey kids of the future year 2080, I'm here to testify to you in the year 2023 that I'm able to witness this legend, he was one of the finest musician Nigeria ever produced
I second this!! 2095 kids, take note as well!!
I have been listening to this music back then in 2006 in Ghana. just came to mind to look for this song again. it is a song for the soul. this is good music. when i decided to go back and look for the song, i forgot the title but the name LAGBAJA just came flying in memory. I appreciate good music and will follow it wherever.
Kwame Essien you were enjoying this song from way back! Nice one Chale. We should connect soon o. Swung by the office a few weeks ago to see Charles Quansah.
as a kid I was always curious to see what lagbaja looks like behind his mask....still curious tho
Lagbaja is a tall,slender,dark handsome man,very good looking.I met him at a beauty show Bimbo Peller organised @ Kwara Hotel ilorin in 1996,I was opportuned to meet him before the show at the hotel with the organiser's crew
there's a picture of him somewhere online....very handsome fellow with beautiful eyes
Still very curious! More of the brain behind an African mask
Guess i'm launching it first in 2019!
Who’s here in 2020?!!
I wish this two Lagbaja and Ego will return back to working together again, they sure bring the best out of one another
Uche Ezechiogbe My exact sentiment too...too good together.
if lagbaja made this beat now{2019}...he would have been a musical genius....Mixing African instruments with Foreign instrument......
“If lagbaja made this best now {2019}...he would have been a musical genius”...So, making it in 2006 does not make him a musical genius? 😂😂😂 make it make sense 🥴
Ego is a vocalist, Lagbaja is an Complete Entertainer... 😍😍
Today is exactly 10 years when I heard this song in Ghana. My dad told me he is a legend and I'm glad I'm still celebrating this legend.
It’s 2024 and I keep loving this music 🎶❤️
OMG.......someone please resurrect these guys and bring them back to our music industry!
HERE IN 2024. And this is still one of my favorite songs ever. The beautiful orchestra is just something else 😩😩
I was 6 years old when this song came out and I can still remember every word of that song.. what a masterpiece
Lagbaja was a proper musician
That's the word bro "Proper musician"
"Is" not was !
Complete Musician
Criminally underrated
2018 anyone??? Nostalgia!!!
Team chang kosewe
I'm With you on this one
2019 classic songs

October 2024 and this song still hits like never before 😢so much soul poured into this masterpiece 😅no song can ever be compared, the violins, drums everything representing the African culture 😊
Lagbaja is amazing and ego too I love this song, this song made me find my voice made me realize my singing talent and also made me love live music the syncing of the African drums and the strings it’s just immensely beautiful. Will love to dance to it with my partner some day
You articulated my thoughts for me precisely!!!!!!!! Thank you for this beautiful comment. I feel the same sis 😩😩😩
Its 2024 and this Jam was could stand out from the quality of in terms lyrics, vocals, beats, and orchestration of what music is today. Lagbaja is definitely a pioneer of Afrobeat being where it is now.
2022 and still get chills from this song. A masterpiece that’s timeless

OMOOOO!!!
The talking drum, violin, the beautiful voice, the VIDEO! The VIDEO!! Omo!
Nigerian artist are very talented plus gifted. I am proud of u guys
of course because u aren igerian .. LOL .. TALENTED ARTITS CAN COME FROM ANYWHERE .... including Nigeria .. Sometimes ..
Gilles Bois d'ébène LOL!!! Just LOL... He, in no way whatsoever, even IMPLIED that talented artists only came from Nigeria. So, I haven't a clue why you'd react to his comment in such a manner.

Because my Yorubaniest trumps my Nigerianess and my Nigerianess is ultimately the winner. So, no being more Nigerian ultimately guarantees my Africaness! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Still here 2019... I used this song to build my voice
Same here, lol
One of my all time favorite songs by Lagbaja, i fell in love with the song from late 2006 to date.
i just don't understand why is he not popular like other Naija artists???
Music artistes who do good music are not always popular in Nigeria. The public appreciates music with lewd lyrics.
Oh, but he was! Back then. He's not been active on the music scene for several years
Na today Naija to rock good music. What Wizkid Burna boy, Davido, Olamide.......the list is endless, are doing today is a continuation of yesterday's success, the standard and pace already set by people like Lagbaja and all the great artists in the past.
2021... This brings back such beautiful memories.
Anyone here 2017. 😭🇳🇬
we here
Yeah man. Still feeling this song as if it where released today
After 9yrs I left naija, I woke up this morning this morning and this song was playing in my head...that’s how you know evergreen music🇳🇬✌🏼
Kosy Ugo-Okeke yes!!!😍
2018 sef...
This song is beautiful.. its genius, mixing modern tunes with the traditional.. i miss such wonderful sounds
Lagbaja is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional composers I've ever encountered in my lifetime. It took me some time to truly grasp the profound musical prowess of this remarkable artist. Lagbaja's talent transcends any attempt at replication or imitation.
when nigerian music was still music now its something else.OKARE LAGBAJA
Bro I just smoked and stumbled on this jam For the first time and my mind blown to shreds with this MASTERFUL PIECE!! Total display of LEGENDARY CRAFT !! ❤❤❤❤
Memories, that's all that is left..
OH MY GOOD GOD. I decided to enter UA-cam and boom, this song just pops out and I was like WHAAAATTTTTT. I feel nostalgic seeing this right now. WOW. What a song this was. I don't know how to express how I feel to have this after 18 years. How time really flies.
I watched this October 25, 2024. Who else watched with me today?
We here in 2019 waiting for lagbaja to release a new song
he has issues with his record label guys
Please tell this generation not to let this music die, 2024…
Once again sublime songs and the video tells the whole story. The way Lagbaja has interwoven traditional African instruments with the string orchestra and used so many images, shows instinct and a deep understanding this guy is gifted no question about it!
Omg i used to b obsessed with this song in 2006! Love it! Naija music has always been lit
This song keeps coming to my heart and i had top come look for it here..... Sep 25th, 2020... I love it paaaaaaaaaaa
Still here In. 2020 wipes away the fear of corona virus.. Song is lifting. ❤️
finally found it. channel o used to blast this. grew up on this. and awilo longomba
lee mkhize I know hey. many many years ago. thats how i fell inlove with it aswel
If only he carried on with his beautiful musical style, I guess he would be a Grammy winner by now.
I was very young when this song was released. But it’s keeps finding it’s way back to my heart. I must confess, music then was magical. I can’t love this song less.
Who still comes to watch this 2018👍🏾
Even in 2019
I just love labaja verse at the beginning,
This is soooooo underrated!!!
Back in the day, I never really observed Lagbaja conducting the orchestra and musicians in that manner. It is such a beauty to watch now and appreciate a musical genius put his body(literally)and soul into such a perfect and classic performance. Loving it, and it's 2024!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Reminiscing! I need more great Nigerian music like this in my life!
Thumbs up. we meet again
Lol Hello...again.
Yo you love good music. keep on.
SheriBerri O Am back Berri were you art!!
Who is still listening to lagbaja in 2017? This song will forever live!
Am listening to it in 2018. One of lagba a bests
I'm still listening in 2018
when good music still existed.
One of Lagbaja's best songs (IF YOU ASK ME).
In retrospect, it looked like they knew they would no longer be together...Or will they ever come back together as the song suggest? (I can only imagine..). The duo were an excellent combo!
I was walking home from NYSC when I first heard this song in 2001. I went to one dude selling DVD and he handed me one. I rushed home and sat my family down to watch. We saw it more than twenty times that night and it still has the same effect it had on me that night till this day.
You geeeeet. !
The year is 2021, and I still find Lagbaja & Ego to be great performers.
Same
The Patterning of this Particular Piece is Amazing. No body can Tell Me that Lagbaja didn't read Music Professionally. This is Clasic
19 years later and this song is still a classic truly music is magical ❤
It's 2020 and I still haven't heard an adlib better than this in any Nigerian song. Lagbaja and Ego truly outdid themselves in the evergreen classic.
This masterpiece is forever evergreen … the video , her voice and the whole artistry is just so excellent…the video depicts African excellence and uniqueness
I love the African culture. Such a good voice!
Thanks M.I.A. for sending me this.
The year is 2023 and this song is still on my mind! The production of this track is at the very top with the best👏🏽👏🏽
2016!!!! HEYYYYY
This is music!!! It's 2023 and I still appreciate every bit of this. I think we've lost our way in terms of music in Nigeria. it has to go back to what it was back then.
Her name is Ego. She has an awesome voice. I never get tired of listening to it.
Motherland Opebi! This was one of the usual highlight songs.... I miss the old times
My man is very clever! 1st time i've listen to him. I would like to see him in concert, I love my African brothers & sistas! I'll definitely play his music in my yoga classes.1luv
A masterpiece!!!
This song is simply beautiful..and I'm now discovering this gem!!
i would love to see this being performed (with good creative production, ofcourse)
I have this song in my phone, but for no particular reason, I thought to look it up on UA-cam. Man, I think it's the best decision I have made today. Ego's voice gave me goosebumps.
Lagbaja, the masked singer. The mystery surrounding who he was made his songs all the more exciting.
One of the best Nigerian musicians I have seen in my lifetime.
Honestly, I thought that in 2022, we would have evolved beyond this ,(musically 🤪), but these new crops of artistes don't even hold a candlelight to the kinds of artistes we had in the past.
Stylplus, Plantashun Boyz, Infinity, Tuface Idibia, Faze, heck even Bracket!! I was at garden last night and when I'M WITH YOU MY LOVY LOVY came on, fond memories crept back in... Those were the days of classic Nigerian songs.
It’s been 2weeks since my babe travelled to another country and this song just kept ringing in my head today. ❤️ 2021
I hope you’ve gone to meet her ?
Are you guys still together?
I have to come back here once in a while to come clean the nonsense I've been listening to for long...
Lagbaja we need u back🙏
Lagbaja did not get his props in Nigeria music scene. how could he be forgotten so quick. Prince of Afrobeat!!
He's king
It’s 2023. Lagbaja and Ego, come back to us.
WHAT AN EMOTIONAL WAY TO SAY GOODBYE TO A GOOD BOSS .....EGO CREATED A VOID IN LAGBAJA.I REALLY LOVE THIS TRACK DEC 2016 STILL ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL MELODY
hijay oh really, did she use this song to depart from him
@@emmanueloluga9770 Not necessarily. Lagbaja wrote the song a long time ago. You could say this song is in the album she did last with him.
This song came out while I was in the primary school, I really loved it then. One thing led to another and I'm here listening to it again. This is such a legendary and genius work of art. Lagbaja is so underrated in the music industry. The way and smiling and tapping my feet while listening to this, I'm afraid people around me won't think something is wrong with me. 😂😂
Ooooh yes o, lagbaja pls bring back Ego l beg
Why? ... I life we all need to grow .. to better ourselves, I believe there is no point Ego coming back to Lagbaja expect they both have song to make together.
Thank for making my childhood fun
