Hi, can anyone tell me where i can find the main chants from the fans of Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Algeria, Ghana and Cameroon in youtube, and their lyrics?
There were some that I remember us singing during the '94 World Cup during the Nigeria-Bulgaria game, but they were very local and particular to Southeastern Nigeria. One was "Enyimba Ehi" and another was "Oshe, Oshe o, Oshe o, Oshe Baba". I've never heard these songs sung online since but I assume that they're sometimes sung in Nigeria. Here's some stuff anyway that I scrounged. Not so many chants. You won't find many of those outside of North and South Africa. I can post some from South Africa later. West African nations are still too ethnically diverse to have such cohesion on the national level and the clubs are so sparsely supported that it's hard to build a movement there. Most Nigerians follow the EPL for example. I think that as club soccer builds popularity, then you'll see more chants as has been shown in South Africa. I'll keep my eyes open. E2A: At the Nigeria Italy game, listen after the Bright Dike goal, they were chanting Oshe Baba! Brought tears to my eyes, back when my pops was still alive I'll never forget that chant when I was at Nigeria v Bulgaria! The only thing that pisses me off is that noone thought to record that and put it on Youtube.
Best one I've found yet from Nigeria. I don't know where this one took place. Shame that there aren't more views.
