I had to watch that listing out of sheer curiosity. Folks are psycho for spending this much cash on a record. Perhaps the gentlemen at good records will give you a commission. I bet those guys don't pay more than $2 an LP.

I wonder how many Igbo people would even decipher one of the strangest dialect in Igbo land? This is sang in Abriba (Abiliba or Abliba?) dialect of the old Imo State of Nigeria. If you know any Nigerian from Abriba, they will translate what Agu Risky was on about in this song. I have an idea and partially understand his Ibo dialect, but it would take me ages to translate all he was saying about a lady or girl who is a show-off, walking around with pride and arrogance, with Bob Marley type of braids etc! Very interesting jibes on 70s/80s Ibo girls!<br />NAIJAMANAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
