I will not kill myself in the quest to make money, Am not prepared to enter my grave because of money, Money is hard to come by, Money has buried itself among thorns (ogwu).<BR/><BR/>Amongst Ndiigbo, people will say (ego di n' ogwu i.e money has buried itself among thorns therby making it hard to reach)whenever the are finding it difficult to accomplish a task or to make end meets.<BR/><BR/>Am also desprately looking for Nelly Uchendu's classic love Nwantiti and Mama hausa.<BR/><BR/>I will be in Enugu this yr, i will contact homzy records (if the are still around)or search markets in and around Enugu, am sure its out there somewhere. unfortunately i come from a country were people tend to forget their history all so soon. <BR/><BR/>Well doneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-87936376287908764912007-12-04T05:18:00.000-06:002007-12-04T05:18:00.000-06:00Hello does anyone have the lyrics and translation ...Hello does anyone have the lyrics and translation of the song "songs at sunset" by the groupe IKENGA?
