This track reminds me of Bus Journeys (Ekene Dili Chukwu) from Enugu to Lagos in the late 70s & 80s. At every stop en route (9th Mile, Oji River, Niger Head Bridge & Ore) this will be blaring out loud on giant speakers whilst washing down Ọkpa and Mazi Ejidike/Our Lady's bread with Fanta! I've enjoyed this tune in far-flung corners of Planet Earth. Sweet nostalgic memories of my youth! May Osadebe's soul continue to Rest in Peace! Thanks for giving us this evergreen music!
Daalu ..... A time shall come when we shall feel together the glamourous day of the Igbo .... And it shall be continua even as we beam the light of our virtue
When I came to Europe, I stumbled upon Osita Osadebey and Oriental Brothers' cds. They comforted my soul over the cold and racism I encounted and made me never forget where I came from. Till today, they still remains my pride possessions. This particular track is packed with emotion. No doubt his greatest track. God bless u, whoever posted it and may the soul of this great man, Chief Osita Osadebey rest in everlasting peace. Amen.
I can't stop crying each time I listen to this song Thanks so much Father Osita. One love Enugu one love Igbo land one love Nigeria. Respect from Canada.
I might be Igbo, Yoruba, Kissi, Kru, Loma, Akan and Gola Don’t know because we were put on Slave ships to build America. Once I heard this song, I fell in love with this HighLife sound. It’s the Year of Return, Peace!!!!
To fall in love with this music u must have Igbo blood in ur vain. The music is actually saying that obira ije ga ala meaning any one who sojourn in a land that is not his ancestral land will definitely go back home the spirit of ur ancestors lives in u bro it pains me to bone each time I think of slavery what human did to their fellow human by displacing others from their ancestral home. We are deeply sorry that this inhuman cruelty happened to our people but I can adopt u my brother this music is special to any Igbo man Because it's a kind of a kindred song
My immediate elder brother died on 9th March 2023 and was buried on March 31st 2023. He introduced me to this song...Inrmember him playing itbjnbhai csr when he picked me up at Heathrow Airport the first time I left the shores of Nigeria. This song reminds me of the good memories we had..Rest in Power Chuzy... Ije Awele. Thisbl has to be one of Chief Osita Osdebe's best songs....
On June 12, 2016, I took my wife and two sons on a pilgrimage of sort to Atani.There in his estate, I payed my respect, at his graveside, to the Highlife Maestro, All-time King of African Highlife, Osankwa, Eze omenyili Na Atani, the Late Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe. What a memorable day!
Everytime I listen, my childhood memories play in slow-motion over again in my head. Life was fun in Igbo land. May God heal our land! Every Christmas renewed my blood. Traveling back and beholding that Christmas Harmattan. MAY GOD UNITE THE IGBO RACE ! My Igbo brothers in Haiti, Jamaica, Belize, US, displaced by slave trade, I love you all! I also feel deep love for all Igbos who ran from our home land to Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroun, during the 1967-1970 genocide against us. May God keep all of you. Learn the language and learn the culture. Igbo Amaka ❤
Though my Dad died when i was 3 years , But my senior brother told me this was our Dad best Track as he always plays it when ever he is travelling with his 504 ....May the soul of Osadebe and my Dad rest in peace .
The most proud Igbo man on earth I prefer Igbo than Even USA than any country or tribe on Earth in my next world I will still be an Igbo and I will. Still come from ANAM and my mom will still be my mom and my dad will still be my dad Igbo is the best in the world ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a billion for posting this "Ije Awele" deep and inspiring life realities philosophical, narrative song by highly distinguished Stephen Osita Osadebe! I will ever remain so grateful to Osadebe. It's sad we no longer have him on this dying earth. But thank GOD Osadebe played his part gloriously and humanely on this trying journey of a stage called life ...

A musical legend I will not say RIP for you are not dead you are alive and your legacy will endure till eternity a rare gift to humanity chief Ostia osadebe my immense gratitude for what you have bestowed to mankind
Osita nwa mama was one of the reasons why the Igbos survived the wickedness visited them in 1967-70. He helped the Igbos heal at the end of the pogrom and genocide. He played his part well and we love him for that. To live in the hearts of those who love you and I must add those you love is to live forever. RIP.
This music really touches my soul whenever am playing it.it is equally my father's favourite. God bless the entire Igbo race..One day we will arrive at our destination.
Whatever that has beginning always have an end. The irredeemable unworkable one Nigeria that scattered my people abroad allover the world, looking for greener pastures. Will surely end one day. And the children of God from the house of the rising sun will return to build our abandoned mother land. The Japan and Israel of Africa. No place like home.
God bless Igbo Sons and Daughters all over the world. This music draw us all back to our root. Please no matter were you find yourself, never forget were you come from. God bless Sir Osadebe for taking our culture to great height. It is left for us the living to do our part and pass the baton to our children.
I play this song everyday because it makes me to remember my late father engineer Patrick Uzochukwu m, may the soul of my father Rest In Peace, I cry whenever I played this song Rest In Peace OC

oooo what a touching music!!!! Am dedicating this song to my late Dad and to all those that lost their lives in struggling to survive, may them rest in peace. Amen. and thank you for this opportunity to share this song with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was travelling from Owerri to Onitsha few weeks ago and the driver was playing this song. Love the song but was shy to ask the driver the name of the song. So I captured the voice and I have to search obiara ije ga ala by Osita Osadabe, but they're showing me ije Awele. That's how I got the song. Rip legend 😢🙏
Listening to Ije Awele is like rolling up another 38 years for this was released in 1975. Then and up until now, it remains a master-piece and leaves one important life-lesson: 'never listen to gossips for whatever you, good or bad, people must talk about it mostly in negative terms. Remakim2, thanks a lot for uploading this. This, at a time, was my favourite as I grew and danced it as a bachelor. God bless you.
Aaah! I hope you are listening & dancing to this music in heaven daddy , because this one is for you. I miss you daddy a lot, this reminds me Christmas trip home . It's amazing when i close my eyes , I can still see your face filled with happiness & joy. I want you to know that you brought a lot of happiness , joy & love into our family & in our lives. Thanks daddy . Anthony Omeokachia nwa mama , ije Oma daddy!!!

I see that this comment is 8 years old, and I feel the weight of your longing for home. I'm here now wondering how long you have stayed away at the point of this comment, if you ever returned home, if you ever got the chance to return and mix with your kith and kin, umunna and umunne. I don't know you but I wish you got the chance and that you could see this text.

Thank you so much for posting.This is one of the songs I sing in the shower to the delight of my American significant other. So sweet indeed-a part of Osadebe in London. Remakim2 you deserve a gold medal. Thanks again.
Wow!!Wow!! one of the best!!This track is really scattering my brain right now i miss home. RIP may GOD be with u hits like button if u still here 2021
This is simply classic. By chance does any one know the narrative of the points he was making in this song. It appear he was referring to some gossip about his trip to London I guess? He said people thought he went to Zambia? What was it that people were saying about his trip? I was a toddler when the song was released and it always intrigued me what he was saying. Thanks for your time.
+Val Okafor The title, IJE AWELE, means "Safe, successful journey." ‘Ije’ means travel, voyage, journey. ‘Awele’ means joy. In the song, Chief Osadebe and his musicians are embarking on a musical tour. He sings: “Our journey now begins, I sing and I wail; I sing, soulfully weeping. I hail from Onitsha. Onward, I lead with my music. Our destination is overseas. Before setting out, my musicians and I made a solemn pact: we will proceed with one voice and one purpose. Meanwhile, gossip and idle tongues are lying about our flight and travels: they say our destination is only Zambia. But we play and perform in high and low places, far and near lands. I know my music well, as well as you know your skilled job; I know my music well, as well as you are familiar with your home and your palace. Music is my craft - and my mission. I give my words with honor My musicians and I, we deliver the fun we promise! My music brings sparkling fun, enjoyment and lasting sweetness…. Let chatty mouths have their say. Words whispered in secret soon reaches all ears; Swift moving fast-feet cannot escape all-seeing eyes. Chorus: Ahh, ahha, ahha, the voyager shall accomplish his goals and return safely back home. (He praises many people, particularly someone named, OMAMBALA. Omambala’s wife, Ngozi, is praised as ‘sweet lady, whose charms beautifies their prosperous household.’)

you find yourself, never forget were you come from. God bless Sir Osadebe for
taking our culture to great height. It is left for us the living to do our part
and pass the baton to our children.
True bro,any time I listen to dis track,I remember 1996 when I was heading to Cyprus.
I see that this comment is 8 years old, and I feel the weight of your longing for home. I'm here now wondering how long you have stayed away at the point of this comment, if you ever returned home, if you ever got the chance to return and mix with your kith and kin, umunna and umunne. I don't know you but I wish you got the chance and that you could see this text.
Osili!!!! We can't see you but you are still here with us.
Anyi ebido ije anyi na Eko,
Akwa ariri o ka anyi na akwa
Onitsha ado nu kam si jebenu
Egwu mu o ka m ji eje,
Obodo oyibo ka m na eje.
Chukwu emeka nwa omambala so mu eje.
Mana tupu anyi ejebe na anyi baru na mmuo, ofu okwu ka anyi ji binie
Ofu alo nu ka anyi ji eje, mu na ndi egwu m so eje.
Jude enyi m nwoke na o sokwu anyi je.
Ndi asiri ebido gori koba.
Mana fa amaro na anyi abatago.
Akpo anyi na enu anyi aza...
No zambia ka anyi na eje..

THIS MUSIC REMINDS ME OF THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS ,MY DAD LIKES PLAYING THIS TRACK OFTEN
This song is breaking me in pieces 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is simply classic. By chance does any one know the narrative of the points he was making in this song. It appear he was referring to some gossip about his trip to London I guess? He said people thought he went to Zambia? What was it that people were saying about his trip? I was a toddler when the song was released and it always intrigued me what he was saying. Thanks for your time.
+Val Okafor The title, IJE AWELE, means "Safe, successful journey."
‘Ije’ means travel, voyage, journey. ‘Awele’ means joy.
In the song, Chief Osadebe and his musicians are embarking on a
musical tour.
He sings:
“Our journey now begins,
I sing and I wail; I sing, soulfully weeping.
I hail from Onitsha.
Onward, I lead with my music.
Our destination is overseas.
Before setting out, my musicians and I made a solemn pact: we will
proceed with one voice and one purpose.
Meanwhile, gossip and idle tongues are lying about our flight and
travels: they say our destination is only Zambia.
But we play and perform in high and low places, far and near lands.
I know my music well, as well as you know your skilled job;
I know my music well, as well as you are familiar with your home and your
palace.
Music is my craft - and my mission.
I give my words with honor
My musicians and I, we deliver the fun we promise!
My music brings sparkling fun, enjoyment and lasting sweetness….
Let chatty mouths have their say.
Words whispered in secret soon reaches all ears;
Swift moving fast-feet cannot escape all-seeing eyes.
Chorus: Ahh, ahha, ahha, the voyager shall accomplish his goals and return safely back home.
(He praises many people, particularly someone named, OMAMBALA.
Omambala’s wife, Ngozi, is praised as ‘sweet lady, whose charms
beautifies their prosperous household.’)
Ahmad Nasir Wow, thank you so much for the narration. That was interesting, wish I can travel back in time.
Ahmad Nasir
Omambala is the River Omambala from where Anambra got its name. so chukwuemeka nwa Omambala means Chukwuemeka son of Anambra.
Val Okafor is an inspirational music, it mean taking life easy ,
+Ahmad Nasir... U're the man.
Thumbs up to you!!!
The Greatest of the Greatest Ancient Artists ❤❤❤
One of my best Osadebe Tracks! RIP Dede.
