Flavour - Game Changer (Dike) (Afrobeats Translation: Lyrics and Meaning)

[@simbihawt]

Let’s talk about the word “oga.” Some Igbos say oga is a shortened word from oganraya or oganlaya meaning boss or rich person. Some Yorubas say it is not a borrowed word and it is home to Yoruba. Others say that it is a shared word across Nigeria. What do you think? Also, on a scale from 1-10, how was my Igbo cultural dance? 🤭😂

[@boatengemmanuel9690]

I will give u 7 for ur cultural dance. U didn't dance for long koraaa. Anyway, thank for giving us the breakdown of Game changer. I'm still waiting for Davido ft Asake (no competition) breakdown, especially, Asake's part

[@simbihawt]

Thanksss and Davido ft Asake - No Competition translation video is coming soon 🙂

[@melmarz4664]

its a perfect song, to describe Jesus Christ for he alone is the ultimate king of Kings the only one that deserves all the honor and praise, and the bride of Christ will be at his side.

[@gideono.n.bnyamesen7720]

Amen and amen.

[@b.enshira885]

Ommg I was saying the same thing. Somebody should record a song like this for Jesus, so we can hail him like this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@ForDloveofthegame]

It's the dance for me...you represented the culture🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@simbihawt]

Lol thank you oo!

[@ibnmcdeyaraii]

I commend 😜 Thank you for explaining the song 🥰

[@khaosaraakapolawal7867]

We love a multi-lingual, multicultural queen. I enjoyed this 😂

[@simbihawt]

😂 we are trying lol thank you!

[@cheronosalome1817]

Thanks for this

[@ifyjofficial6854]

Wow! You did excellently well in the interpretation. Your dance steps was good also.

[@simbihawt]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@mwanaishakibaro]

Sasa nimeelewa.. asante sana❤❤❤

[@obama-naija7666]

I must commend, you did great with the Interpretation "Nzugbu nzugbu Enyimba enyị" is a popular phrase in Igbo land used when warriors are going to war or have conquered.... Translating it is not necessary because the direct translation outside Igbo Language have no meaning

[@simbihawt]

Hi okay thanks! That makes sense like how it fits into the song

[@Superlife1369]

Translation helps for people who don’t know or understand 😉 Her translation plus interpretation helps out tremendously! @Simbihawt

[@tamanawilson9265]

Yes the video is a TRANSLATION which is why she’s explaining it 🙄 if you don’t want to hear it in English why did you bother opening the video

[@eliamtani2840]

Thank You for the breakdown

[@wisdomokerefor8335]

Beautiful one

[@obeeig44]

You tried with the translation. It might be interesting to note that Flavour uses a lot of idioms in his songs so it doesn't loosely translate into what one would ordinarily think it is. Ngabasi for example is awe or aura but normally it would represent ebube or glory

[@simbihawt]

Ooh okay thanks for sharing! Definitely believe it 🙂

[@boatengemmanuel9690]

I will rate u 7/10 for the cultural dance. U should have given us 360° dance moves. Anyway, thanks u Goddess of Breakdown for giving us the "Dike" translation. I'm still waiting for Davido ft Asake (No competition) especially, Asake's part

[@simbihawt]

7 is good I’ll take it! And you’re welcome 🙂… Lol don’t worry I will upload it soon. After my next song, I will start uploading translation videos from Davido’s Timeless album so it’s coming up

[@simbihawt]

Hey, see the translation for No Competition below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF7UpH2Cbdyaa6c Enjoy!

[@moshemoshe7287]

Oshirijigbo is a popular nollywood actress whose from a community named Ezeagu and people from that Community are usually called mmawu (masquerade) shinne (big). That means Big masquerade.

[@simbihawt]

Oh okay thank you for sharing this information

[@aliceade6437]

Great job Darling

[@shapondajimerson9817]

Can you translate Baby Na Yoka?

[@tonyenemezu]

I read the comments below and saw Ebube attributed to glory. I don't think Ebube means glory in Igbo. Ebube is what something is without it's physical manifestation. So to me that would be the essence

[@simbihawt]

Hi okay thanks for explaining further. Thats deep

[@St_Jice]

You did a nice Job. Ebube means Glory, so Ebube dike means "The glory of a dike".

[@simbihawt]

Thanks for explaining appreciate that 🙂

[@ifyjofficial6854]

Aura of a worrior ( Ebube Dike)

[@amandanjantou]

what does "who dey" mean please

[@simbihawt]

Who dey here is shortened from the slang “who dey breathe” which is asking who is breathing. It’s an exaggerated way to say that everyone else should be silenced or like gagging. Their prominence should choke you (similar to another slang “e choke”)

[@amandanjantou]

@@simbihawt thank you very much for the great job

[@tok1879]

Nah, oga is without a doubt a Yoruba word. Ndi oga from my little understanding of igbo probably roughly means "bosses". Some Yoruba words tend to seep into Igbo due to the large population of igbo in Lagos especially words that have already made it into the naija pidgin English which i can say "oga" has. I'm sure there are some other words that travel the other direction as well. I just can't think of any at the moment

[@simbihawt]

LOL I am happy to see you here. Thanks for the breakdown and I agree in that words can be shared in both ways. The full word that some igbos say it comes from is oganraya/oganlaya. Have you heard about this?

[@tok1879]

@@simbihawt lol thanks. Always glad to view your uploads! 😂 I never knew there were any debates about this word. It's crazy that the internet is so full of misinformation. It's like the more information available to everyone, the larger the population of flat earthers become. As far as i know Oga has always been the word in Yoruba. And its usage is to the level that's it's been adopted in pidgin as well. I'm not sure how ogaranya, a word that means something different, that is used much less and has to go through some tortuous explanation to make the link, could then be the source . There's also onye isi - which literally means head person in Igbo and is used for boss. I'm sure there might be other words as well. But I think I'd stick with occam's razor on this and go with the simple explanation which is that it's Yoruba. There are similar debates about Yoruba words like oyinbo as well. I find it all kinda amusing if anything.

[@simbihawt]

Please which one is “go through some tortuous explanation to make the link” 😂. In case someone did not tell you this today, I’m here to tell you that you are actually very funny lol. Thanks so much for your input. I hope others share as well.

[@patriciaonyeka1377]

Ebube Dike --> glorious warrior/ great warrior

[@istanpopcorn618]

[@simbihawt]
