I love this!!! Lagbadja is a genios! I am from Togo and even though I do not understand everything in the song, I really enjoy the music!! Lagbadja, keep making africa pround!! Thanks...oh, and Ego, hmm damn, she's hot!!!
Brothers as oluwalogbon58 said africa is wonderfull but the media fail to show the true beautys of africa we all love our nationatly and are proud to stand by it as a nigerian i love my country and will protect it .
Lagbaja is an inspertion and his music guids those who are lost in dsepth he is a messenger from god putting his words in song he gives africans hope to find there true desire and be free i am african aswell .
Man shall work hard to find food God said after the 1st sin.Life is hard for Europeans,Africans and American,only the degree of hardship varies.Challenges shape adaptability.The debate on why things are hard in Africa is not gonna be had here.I dont,however, think its only because Africa waits on the 'west',I most certainly do not wait on anybody for anything.Since we are of this generation, perhaps we should stop doing things like our fore fathers?
have you visited any african country ? we are not the wretched things the western media makes out,on my trip home some few weeks ago the 747 was full of nigerians going home to lagos and from their to all parts of nigeria, now if we are truely wretched that would not be happening..we travel freely all over the world something you dont see in the media.all you see are negative miserable images of pot bellied children, the real truth is not what you see on your tv. investigate a bit more yourself
life is only hard for africans because you keep looking to west to give you something,but little do you t know that the west does'nt have one thing we have and that is pride.We need to know who we are as a people .we are naturally rich and we are GODS people.Know your history and you will know who we are as a people and stop looking for others (whites) to give you something.
'Feyin E' literally translates 'spread your teeth'.Ofcourse one cant 'spread' ones teeth,another e.g of how language cant always literally translate from one to another:here Yoruba to English."Feyin e' is understood to mean 'show your teeth' an act synonymous with smiling, and thus equates to 'smile'. 'put a smile on your face no matter the condition' is a mataphor for positive outlook and being thankful. Life is tough for we Africans but we have to keep keeping on.We arent fools but survivers.
Put a smile on you face no matter your condition, that might be part of the problem, sometimes I feel that we Africans are always suffering and smiling.
I kinda disagree with u ... dont know if u christian or not but even the bible tells us to always give thanks no matter the situation. In the western world esp the U.S there are countless people depressed and committing suicide every now and again simply because they cannot learn to be appreciative of what they have or might not have and that the things of this world esp material things are all just vanity. I dont think there is any african or nigerian that wld not like to better themselves
The word Lagbaja is yoruba language word that has a single meaning to three different nouns. ANYBODY, SOMEBODY and EVERYBODY. Lagbaja is a word you use if you do not want to mention names directly. He covers his face in order to represent the facelessness of the common people in a society where there is no human right and social security. No outside person has ever seen his face.
Peace to you brother, in Yoruba language word, Lagbaja is a single word that m eans three things. Lagbaja means ANYBODY, SOMEBODY AND EVERYBODY .
The word masqurade means EEGUN in Yoruba. I hope you meet him in person, he is such a very funny fellow that you will keep laughing every moment you are around him.
African trumpets have no notes becuz d playaz didn't recieve any lessons on the instrument and thats becuz they are naturally gifted to play any kinda note on sax. They d originator of real and inspirational music. From reggae to Hip Hop to RNB to soul and jazz. mama Africa wake up!!! we need u to teach love again.
Thank you jo! God bless you. Please can you give that message to Lasdar and let her know too that if one Naija dude didn't agree to toast (date) her, we have over 120 million people, I'm sure she'll find someone!
No matter how down I am feeling, once I hear this song, my feet and body gets moving,and I start smiling....thanks Lagbaja for creating such an inspiring and soul lifting song.
Thank you LAGBAJA :-) you certainly put a smile on my face with your music & videos. Keep on inspiring with your cosmopolitan global African creative wisdom, wizardry, spirit and flair - i hope Lagbaja gets this message
It takes a creative mind like Lagbajas to do a video like this. Thanks omo baba mukumuku for showing me a molue and so many views i have missed. Keep the flag flying you are d
I am not surprised that Lagbaja is doing well. He is very creative. Kudos to him. I was told Lagbaja has tribal marks. I don't know if it's true. He might have fought lion.
Im 16 and i know all the words to this song, it just shows that this song is timeless
