Baba Uwaifor is amazingly looking great at his age. I have always loved him since I was a toddler when my grandfather would call me and tell me to dance to Baba Uwaifor’s music playing on his Transistor’s radio. God bless you sir.
I watched his interview n that was the first thing that came to my mind. Well he said he still keeps fit and meditate alot. Meditation can do alot of things it slows time. Breath drops heart beat drops body metabolism and digestion drops. Everything drops and brain becomes enhanced.
I think you are right but they still needs to acknowledge them. Especially let them know ahead and then go on and do your thing. If such is done trust me, these icons or whoever the original owners are will not complain as sir Victor is complaining. Even if the original owner not living anymore, still reach out to the family. It shows maximum respect. I think there are some that knows this but avoids it for fear the original creator might ask for a cut, as in his or her own profit. Well why not 🤷♂️. There is nothing wrong about that either.
Ulele and fela is my hero he know what music is, why l remember 1990 the time must musicians who were corrupt through their music were going to Abuja to play for the bad leaders that was killing is own people till today because of money but my ulele remain with the truth papa you shall live along respect for you sir.
Tell them sir make them here this small small boys and girls lazy artist stealing some1 work and think they can pay there way through. Tell them sir they are all lazy artist.
In life it's good to stay humble if the man is angry about it SIMI should have gone to the man and apologised simple why all this stress SIMI you bigger than that ok.sir uwafo please you need to forgive this girl take her as your daughter because no one knows tomorrow
Seems our new generation artiste are out of musical ideas as they’ve now resorted in infringing on the copy rights of older artistes. Music no dey finish...i think they just too lazy to creat their own songs. Well Buhari may be right tho...lazy youth😂😂😂😂
Seun Idowu, you are partially correct. There are many forms of intellectual property and the one you just described is copy rights which is applicable to music. However, in this case, sir Victor Uwaifo has no case because Simi's arrangement is completely different from his and that's the reason I said he didn't trade mark that word "Joromi". He should go to court. He will LOSE except he's trade marked the word 'Joromi"
I believe he mixed things up a bit but he could still have a case Of he is able to prove that parts of Simi's song are similar to his. I can identify one. If you check the recent case between Robin Thicke and Marvin Gaye's family, the similarity wasn't on all fours...
You might want to enlighten yourself by reading up on the case between the Manu Dibango of Cameroon and Michael Jackson. You might want to further enlighten yourself by going over the case of Marvin Gaye's family Vs Robin Thicke (Blurred Lines). Go get yourself educated and then, come back and delete your rather uninformed comment.
Respect to you sir! You are a legend and you really spoke perfectly on we having singers today rather than musicians. I even feel they are less than 5%. As regards Joromi, just the use of that name is plagiarism? I really do not see the similarities in the 2 songs aside the use of the name. Will you also sue someone for naming his son Joromi? Maybe I'm missing something, cos I don't get.
It’s not the title. Listen to the guitar song. You think he doesn’t know what he’s saying Listen to drake nice for what he took permission from the owner
With all due respect sir, though most of what u said re correct and music stars needs to work harder, but just the single word "joromi" is not enough to sue her under copywrite law, the full body of that single song track is totally different from yours but same cannot be said about tecno and danfo drivers over "jogodo" bcos tecno jogodo actually copied some body of danfo drivers song.
But baba is not entirely saying the truth.Old Juju musicians used to plaguerise each other constantly. Jujus artiste plaguerised each other like crazy, and I ma sure they didnt give a dime to the originators. Also he said Joromi is his invention, but there is a video of a guide in his museum saying that Joromi is actually a folk tale ( he goes on to tell the story of Joromi).
She will pay sir victor is the rigth full own of joromi every body knows that let the youths learn how to work hard for their own firms not some body work even his boyfriend said thesame thing last time that his music was used in a Yoruba movie with him knowing so what goes around comes around
Baba you can only sue her if she use your soundtrack. Jeromi is not a trademark its a given name. When I was in my primary over 30 years ago I read a book in school. The Book is called DO NOT WRESTLING WITH JEROMI. Sir if you spend the whole money in the court you can't win.
DIGIMAX CINEMATOGRAPHY loll are you sure That is he’s trade mark Y’all need to see what he’s saying. That name is not even suppose to be used. Secondly the guitar sound is he’s song. Listen well
Simi should be sued. Just watched the video this past Tuesday, I was very angry. You can’t steal someone else’s idea and be enjoying the firm and money. Simi. You must pay through your nose
Joromi is a trade Mark! when it become a trade Mark, Joromi is a word or a trade company? under which company , Year and The certificate of trade? joromi is word from a language and you can't use language words as a trade mark becos is free and General for all. Joromi is not even a Brand not to talk of becoming Trade Mark. i dont think this man really Know what is saying. Joromi can even be a Name of Any Person, Animal, Place or anything.
Nice one one...for me this legend does not know what is saying for real because joromi is story original from Benin.then any one can use the name....please sir live simi alone pack well......
Use the money to set up mechanism to enforce trade mark and copy right laws.please don’t get government involved in music please. Private citizens can create entertainment centers.
Your song is more than Ten years sir and anybody can remix it according to the Law forget you're a father leave them you have made your money let them use it
Green Greener well i can accept in music people plagiarize n copy alot its just a show of lack of ideas on the artist part. We hv trail blazers and those who follow the part
Copyright protection does not extend to title of songs. This is because they are mostly short do not fall under the realm of creative originality. However, if it was a hit like "Joromi" was, it then could be classified as a trademark. As such, be protected against unsolicited completion in the guidelines of a trademark law. A simple request for permission by Simi could have sufficed; then again, it is sometimes hard for honest permission seekers to be granted permission.
He invented Gbese! Used by burna boy. Sir victor uwaifo the legend
We are very proud of what she did, bringing back you ancient sound and making it very relevant today
Respect to this legend, that’s the word “They are not creative” only few. 👌

4 years ago you posted this, see nigeria now
Respect sir, you are a legend.
A Guitar virtuoso and musical icon. R.I.P, sir.
Sir Victor Uwaifo✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Some of these musicians innocently used those words as homage, reference or acknowledgement of those great musicians before them.
I think you are right but they still needs to acknowledge them. Especially let them know ahead and then go on and do your thing. If such is done trust me, these icons or whoever the original owners are will not complain as sir Victor is complaining. Even if the original owner not living anymore, still reach out to the family.

Now i believe people will see why black face is in pain about his song been release and people are saying na bad belle. Copyright is a crime.
Well said sir... Nigerians this days have little regards for copyright....
Baba, joromi is a Benin legend story,,,,
Did you hear of the legendary myth befor he sang it,
People should give credit to whom it's due.
Ulele and fela is my hero he know what music is, why l remember 1990 the time must musicians who were corrupt through their music were going to Abuja to play for the bad leaders that was killing is own people till today because of money but my ulele remain with the truth papa you shall live along respect for you sir.
Baba, the legend dey vex o! Simi, oya kiakia straight to Benin go beg o! And learn a big lesson.
Well said sir! Very correct
The greatest!
Food for thought indeed by the great man.
Tell them sir make them here this small small boys and girls lazy artist stealing some1 work and think they can pay there way through. Tell them sir they are all lazy artist.
In life it's good to stay humble if the man is angry about it SIMI should have gone to the man and apologised simple why all this stress SIMI you bigger than that ok.sir uwafo please you need to forgive this girl take her as your daughter because no one knows tomorrow

gud talk.
my legend with due respect, final caution for your children. they're your offspring. they don't want to count among the lazy one.
Good night legend...
Forgive you daughter ooo, daddy!
yes! even now you are gone home. consult the Family!!
It is not a trademark until you officially and legally make it a trademark. It' a word and except he has legally trademarked it, it's free for all
Dolapo Ogunsanlu very wrong. He used the wrong word. Intellectual property is protected the moment it is created. No registration required
Seun Idowu, you are partially correct. There are many forms of intellectual property and the one you just described is copy rights which is applicable to music.

@@dolapoogunsanlu6865 Joromi the song is copyrighted that is enough.

Wisdom
Is it because she mentioned the name Joromi? Or what else ? Please someone should clarify
Beats and the name joromi too
Interpolation
Not everyone who argue is a lawyer.
R:IP Daddy Victor
Respect to you sir! You are a legend and you really spoke perfectly on we having singers today rather than musicians. I even feel they are less than 5%.

Maybe I'm missing something, cos I don't get.
chairman help me tell am . respect to you sir though .
I am wondering as well. There are no similarities with the way they sound just the title.
It’s not the title.
Listen to the guitar song.
You think he doesn’t know what he’s saying
Listen to drake nice for what he took permission from the owner
I know copyright isn't just about the title but I don't see the similarities between the two songs. They don't sound alike in my opinion.
Obey Always old man needs to sleep
He looks like james brown.
"Ahw i feel good! tarararararaara!
I know someone in my town whose name is Joromi. Does that settle it sir? :)
With all due respect sir, though most of what u said re correct and music stars needs to work harder, but just the single word "joromi" is not enough to sue her under copywrite law, the full body of that single song track is totally different from yours but same cannot be said about tecno and danfo drivers over "jogodo" bcos tecno jogodo actually copied some body of danfo drivers song.
Correct word
Dear may God give you wisdom” I hope you know what is trade mark
Really Fela invented too many words that went viral musically than many. Apart from fuji musicians. Obesere and Portable Zeeeh!
But baba is not entirely saying the truth.Old Juju musicians used to plaguerise each other constantly. Jujus artiste plaguerised each other like crazy, and I ma sure they didnt give a dime to the originators. Also he said Joromi is his invention, but there is a video of a guide in his museum saying that Joromi is actually a folk tale ( he goes on to tell the story of Joromi).
Sir you no supposed to think about that because joromi is the only word there, other things is entirely different from yours.
She will pay sir victor is the rigth full own of joromi every body knows that let the youths learn how to work hard for their own firms not some body work even his boyfriend said thesame thing last time that his music was used in a Yoruba movie with him knowing so what goes around comes around
If Sir Victor Uwaifor did copy write the word "Joromi" and if it never existed in any known language, then it is his...BUT i doubt he did.
Baba you can only sue her if she use your soundtrack. Jeromi is not a trademark its a given name. When I was in my primary over 30 years ago I read a book in school. The Book is called DO NOT WRESTLING WITH JEROMI. Sir if you spend the whole money in the court you can't win.
DIGIMAX CINEMATOGRAPHY loll are you sure
That is he’s trade mark
Y’all need to see what he’s saying.
That name is not even suppose to be used.
Secondly the guitar sound is he’s song. Listen well
Do you know what victor uwaifo sang about Jeromi ? Ask any Benin person to interpret it to you.
Better for her. Copyright of victor uwaifos work. I hate Her for that.
Simi should be sued. Just watched the video this past Tuesday, I was very angry. You can’t steal someone else’s idea and be enjoying the firm and money. Simi. You must pay through your nose

joromi is a name is think
the body and beat of both songs are extremely different...so sorry but baba is looking for attention
