"Yahoo boys are known to enjoy a joke - a common name used to sign emails is Egobia, which means "money, come" -
....always amusing when y'all outnaija us indegenes..i did NOT know this...
altho i will tell you this, i've been in (a pentecostal) church on a sunday morning when the preacher got us all to chant "Money, come" commandingly and forcefully, three times, with a beckoning gesture and of course, in Jesus name. I kid you not....
he was well aware...
So the man danced to a song, and then wat? Showuld we all now listen to lyrics before moving to a beat? Beacause u dance to the beat of a song DOES NOT IN ANYWAY MEAN YOU ENDORSE WAT THEY SAY IN IT. Y'all get over yourself and move on....always have to make news out of nothing.
Ki ni big deal?
Here it is on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnxkQZxtEyU - thanks Olumide!
er, jeremy i-too-know weate... could you please point out to us non-anglophones wat is nice about this dry sanctimonious piece - apart from the fact that it is not written by a Nigerian journalist?!
The piece might not have been all so necessary.
and the writer might have trouble showing the song actually exalts 419 since it can easily be interpreted as a social commentary.
and as Kodi said- ki ni big deal?
-Yet another anon.
All I'll say is he looks really good for 71...
It is high time we stopped this bad mouthing. What is wrong in having fun. Does your ex position make you a nerd. I beg leave the man bo and allow Maintain to reign. As for me, the interpretation of the music is not about 419 but his successs in hitting a $1m record deal.
Make una go rest bo
Na just bad belle dey worry una. You see nothing good about Niger. Call Niger and bullets will start rolling.... I beg have fun Collin.
rj 10.28pm I respect you.
Jeremy- this is what is know in the trade as a puff piece. Good to fill the papers on a non news day. I support the kini big deal brigade. What was the point of Olly's piece? Powell throwing moves or the lyrics to a pop song.Whole thing smacked of tedium I'm afriad.
People, abeg if you like the song say you like it, but dont say there's nothing wrong with it. Yes it has a danceable tune, so?
Ok, maybe if i sang a song about hating all muslims and wanting to kill them it would be ok, so long as it has a dancable beat.
As that wise man once said ' You can put lipstick on a pig...'
