5 Most Commonly Abused/Over-Used Words By Naija Artistes In Their Songs
- BABY(OMO)– If artistes were paid for frequently using this word, most naija artistes will be millionaires.ย However, Flavour would stand out from the lots as a Billionaire. Is there any song done by Flavour with
- out Baby in it? I have not heard that song. And the way he calls it with his igbo diction. Check out Flavourโs first verse on Ada Ada.
โHave you seen my beautiful BABYYYY, Have you seen my tomato BABYYYYY oooo, BABY sofely coolu temper, BABY na sugar sugar.โ
So, am I correct or what? The Yoruba speaking artistes are also guilty of same, chanting omo you too much, awon omo wobe. Omo is the Yoruba meaning of child or baby for the non Yoruba speaking readers. Listen to Korede Bello, Olamide for a clearer perspective. “Omo” always come up in their lines.
- OH NA, NA NA NA– A naija pop song without this words in the outro adlib and chorus adlib is not complete. Unless the artiste did not adlib. Listen to songs from Tekno, P square, Dammy Krane, Bracket and you will figure. ย They must na na na.
- HEY, YAY, HAY HAY, OH HAY โ ย These set of words have turned several hits in Nigeria. Ask Kiss Daniel while he is having a โGood timeโ. Hey Hey Hey hey Hey Heyyyyyyyyyyโฆ..Ha Ha Ha Ha Hayyyyyyyyyyyy. Those were practically his chorus on Good time. I wonder why that was not the title.
- CARRY– ย Why you carry fire fire for your head o- Mayowa. ย I get girl wey carry big big baka, Erima carry body, She carry She carry back o nanana- Wizkid, are some of the recent commonly used adaptation of carry. Not to forget olamide who was talking about a certain person skilled at carrying in front and back. โ 4 examples don waka, I still dey carry go. On to the next oneโฆ.oh na na na.โ
- MAMA– Mama is a word used as a synonym for mother. However in the Naija music industry, the meaning has been changed .ย โTalk to me o mamaโ, โSexy mama, oya ke jo mamaโ. Some artistes cannot write a verse without mama in it. Could it be they missed a motherโs love in their childhood? Kiss daniels and Wizkid, oya answer.
