Many people don't even know that Egun is actually Lagosian language back in the day. The Egun people are from Badagry Lagos State, it's a border town with Benin Republic (Dahomey). Badagry is the only slave coast of Nigeria and the slave dungeon is still there today. Badagry is one of the tourist centre of Lagos. The first story building in Lagos was in Badagry. The Badagry people are well known fishermen.
I really love this song,it speaks to me.I"m from Germany and been living in the USA for 15 years..God Bless everyone that lives far away from there country....greetings,Connie

omg u knw ive watched this song for lyk eva trying to figure is daat funke akindele or not lol but finally figured it out n u agree with me so i guess my eyes werent seeing double lol
oh thanks for ur more information. I really appreciate it. I love the song even though I don't speak the language lol but I really do love it so much.

The language is not from cotonou pls, it's badagry language called Egun. Though some cotonou and Togo speak similar language but this is nigerian dialect mixed with ancient yoruba
Wow!!! I can't speak neither do know this language.But I guess it's a language frm Badagry.Could u believe this song dey enter my heart?God bless d person who posted dis video,the beautiful lady singing and all d pple that made this project to work......lovin' 9ja 4ever.
God bless Naija!!! This song is simply my heart! I luv to hv d CD, to play it all long in my notebook, car, home theatre and everywhere possible. Who says we r not blessed in naija?...cheers - raffydodo
Would you like to know the second point ? That's towards the end at arround 04:40-something secs..when she raised up her hands..I dont like the kind of feelings she gave me ironically speaking..I feel like jumping at her and carrying up into the air!...And just that! Again,the work soothes!
I feel you, i wouldn't sue her though, rather i'd buy her one of these circular metal thingies and a white dress with a veil to match and bring her home to help cure the loneliness afflicting me by virtue of missing home and needing a real naija woman jare.
I,hereby in a loud voice, nominate this work for the very next and subsequent music/artist prize awards.ALL CONCERNED BODIES TO, PLEASE, TAKE NOTE FOR THE APPROPRIATE ACTION..THANKS.
I hope I'll get access to the whole album..I've asked my sister to send it to me.
There are two particular points that turns me off most in the video clips as per Florence demonstration..this is personal anyway,but I believe many people will share the same taste concerning the two points..( ask me..!)
Thanks for asking Onty23 and Naijanawa..but you know what? I had to say that because I don't like the way I feel each I pass through those points...The first point is at arround 02mins:22secs when she claps hands singing " werengatoo wele blanu noo"..the demo there perfectly matches the mood that associated with that part of the lyrics...however,the way she positioned her lips while saying "wele blanu noo" is what turns me ON ! ( did I say Off ?, yes,I meant )And may be I should sue her or ...
I think Florence (as somebody identified her below) has a naturally alluring honeylike voice..Ican't imagine how much honey she consumes daily to have developed such a sweet voice!!!..I love you Florence..keep it up! You're a star!
The rest of the crew(?)didn't perform less good..they all have wonderful voices too..the treble,the bass, the...what have you..well blended and mixed up!
And my final Kudos to Ogidi Omo....Tade Ogidan,the professional touch is all glaring in the tract.
Esta cancion es buenanisino,nada es igual,la sabia que ha cantado en la idioma de Egun ,antes pensaba que ha cantado en Yoruba,pero no hay ninguino relation con Yoruba.
Tade Ogidan really did justice 2 dis album especially dis track, it is more than wonderful. I cant get tire of it, not even 4 a second. Thanks to youtube, u guys are doing a great job.
I'm always at a loss of words anytime I watch any of the clips on the OGD All Stars. I can't count the number of times I've watched them, yet, I still can't get enuff of them....Excellent work!
The language is Eegun, pronounced with a grave grave grave intonation, and not to be confused with "eegun", the Yoruba word for masquerade. It's spoken anywhere from badagry to Benin Republic. They make very fine music too!
you are right. it is spoken by badagry people, ado-odo people (between lagos and ogun state) the Eegun of Beninnoise is slightly different. that is why you will hear people say Eegun Ajase. I do understand both Eegun cause my mother is originally from Benin but her family migrated to Badagry. The culture is lovely.
a lil confused here.. i thought it (the language) was like the Tiv language, or where those zulezoo guys are from, the guys that sang kerewa. pls verify if anyone knows....thnxx
Ah! If it's a language, then how can it be under Yoruba, another language. I am Yoruba, but I can't make out anything from the songs except by reading the translation. So it has to be a distinct language. Great job they have done here. I keep watching it. The dancing is great!
the language is egun an important tribe from lagos state, nigeria.the song is highly emotional.we shall allsee our homes.i mean our fatherland.somebody say amen.
nice
