By the way, i love this song so much cos it makes a lot of sense to me, even though i am not ibo. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord of the earth, make a loud noise, rejoice, sing praises. Burst into singing and dancing and rejoicing with cymbals and harps. If you can make the singing constructive (harmonious and melodious), then carry go. There are no set rules, just praise God. If you dont like the music, then play the one you like. Don't hate and curse and judge.
its amazing how judgmental we Christians are of ourselves and others. Always thinking we are better than others yet the bible said to be put on the cloak of humility and treat everyone with love. If anyone is going astray, and you think you know better, the bible says it is ur place to pray for that person. About music, the Lord simply said, make a joyful noise, whether or not you can sing and dance doesnt matter, your heart is what matters to Him. Just praise God and forget everything.
i am very surprised at the way people think these days. We will be very surprised to see the people that we will meet in heaven and those who will not make it.
it is better to focus on how to make heaven than to sit down there criticizing Paul who is using his talent to spread the Word.
Love the dance, and might I remind everyone that The Word says "He is exalted among all nations." Every tongue, every culture! So decrease negative opinions and let God have His Glory!
Even if they make money out of singing, how do you know they are not giving some of the money back to God?
For example I have just bought two cds by Israel Houghton New Breed. I love the music, and as life goes, in order for me to enjoy the songs, they have to be taken and pressed into cd format. Which is to do with money right?.. Need I say more.????
Back to the sound - if u know anything about igbo music, u will notice that above the obviously soukous beat there are some rhythms that u only hear in predominately igbo traditional music.
Pls, listen carefully to music before u start ur criticisms. Also, please, let's not throw the word satanist around loosely.
first - the style of dancing is definitely igbo...so I really do not know what the heck you are talking about.
Yes, this video was DEFINITELY influenced by soukous - Awilo et al but the music is definitely inspirational and christian so what exactly is the problem???
What of other gospel musicians that sing 'original' music and make money off it - does that mean that they are satanic. Are we going to say artists like Donny are satanists.
God said 'touch not my annointed and do my prophet no harm'. If u do not no that much about this man and why he makes the music (for God or money) who are we to judge him.only God knows what the man is up to, so leave the judgement 4 God alone. Dont let this conversation erupt into a war.Please, as long as it is the same God were serving!!!
Go to the polynesian cultural center in Hawaii, and youll see all the cultures of the south pacific represented as POLYNESIAN cultures, even though they come from DIFFERENT islands that have unique distinctions, they recognize themselves as one cluster of people and practice and celebrate all their cultures together. Thats why that facility is the primary foundation on which the whole wealth of the hawaiian islands rests. Many other nations are the same way, only we still have a problem.
Thats why they are progressing by marketing the diversity of their cultures to the world and earning money off it through tourism while we are destroying our selves by fighting with each other over whos supposedly stealing.
When you expose yourself to all of our cultures and don't just get stuck on your one little region, you really see that our culturs are FUNDAMENTALLY the same. Ive spent time looking at other videos on here from other cultures and all of the nations have a more UNITED ATTITUDE. They have enough common sense to know that the various small nations make up the WHOLE of one people and they practice all of their cultures.
...and STRENGHTH of our people. The beautiful diversity we have in all of our cultures, thats what makes us beautiful and helps us have an abundance to offer to the world by bringing our flavor to the table. If you want to be divisive you might as well hound all africans for "stealing" cause all africans do that even congolese and cameroonians. But it doesn't make sense cuz we all are the same. Celebrating all our cultures together makes us stronger. Divisiveness DEFEATS! Simply put.
No other ethnic group have as much problems with divisive attitudes but us who have the most attractive cultures out of everybody, its very embarrassing! Before europeans there were no carved out lines that we today call countries that cause us to be nationalistic. Before we are our tribes we are simply just Africans, before we are Africans, we are Cushites, and Before Cushite, we are Hamites, before Hamites, we are simply JUST HUMAN! Practicing ALL OF OUR CULTURES adds to the POWER...
Point of correction. Africans are not composed of one ethnic group. Africans are composed of several races, the Niger Congo, Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-saharan and various Creole communities. The first three groups are further subdivided. Nigeria alone has more than one hundred different ethnic groups. When you say that no other group has had the ethnic division problems which ethnic group are you talking about ooh?
Point of correction for you too. Africa is not composed of RACES(subspecies), but various ETHNIC groups who all come from common origins and ancestors. We and our cultures make up a variety of cultures that even though have distinctions clearly all come from a common pool just as we the people do. Africa is a composite cluster of cultures all deriving from a common pool. So AFRICANS can't steal from AFRICANS.
When I say no other ethnic group I mean groups outside of Africa. Read my last comment about the cultural center of Hawaii and learn a lesson.
Other ethnic peoples from other continents practice the cultures of all their tribes with less problem about talking about whos stealing, because they have enough common sense to know that they all make up a composite cluster of one culture.
And lastly as a nigerian myself from a country with over 250 ethnic groups, I have seen what all this ethnic division stupidity, "whos stealing" stupidity, "we are different" stupidity has done to nigeria as well as other african countries and also to black people worldwide, when we really are all the same people and it shouldn't even matter. And while we usually are fighting about who took what among ourselves, foreigners are claiming our cultures and profiting from it right under our nose.
Well I will agree with you this time. The idea of dividing Africans into races such as bantus, nilotes is from the Western colonisers. That is what was taught and may still be taught in schools nowadays in history classes. As for common ancestry, you are right for I have found some Igbo or Yoruba words that have similar meanings with words from some African countries far away from Nigeria but are pronounced almost similarly. I get your point.
For all the ignorant people here talking about whos stealing, AFRICANS CAN'T STEAL FROM AFRICANS. This is the African heritage, and the rhythms of soukous and makossa aren't only exclusively found in Congo and Cameroun, and for those of you who don't know Eastern Nigerians have affinities with cameroonians. I can't believe how ignorant we africans are of our own culture! African culture is African culture. All our cultures are derived from the same source, and we celebrate them together. DUFUS!
yOU MUST BE TOO NAIVE. tHERE IS NOTHING LIKE INFLUENCE OF SOUKOUS HERE. wHAT THESE FOLKS HAVE DONE IS PICKED TUNES OF aWILLO lONGOMBA AND kOFFI AND wERASSON AND FITTED IN THE WORDS LIKE cHINEKE AND jISOS OOH. tHESE ARE SATANISTS OUT TO MANUFACTURE MONEY. SHAME ON YOU!!!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTE CRAP. GOD DOES NOT COMMAND US TO SIT DOWN AND PICK TUNES FROM WORLDLY CHAMPIONS OF MUSIC AND PUT IN HIS PRAISES.
Koffi and Werasson create soukous music and the sound is very soukous sounding. It's as simple as that. As long as the words are praising G-d there is no problem. Are they singing anything bad?
what are they stealing. If you expect to give an opinion please make yourself clear or say nothing at all. At the moment you have said nothing but a lot of rubbish and whatever you are trying to get people to understand is coming across as pure nonsense
You suck. Your mind is full of rubish. I wonder whether you know the definnition of rubbish. If you think that composing a song is simply picking a tune and putting in words you suck. You have a big problem whoever you are sucker. Please shut up.
These fellows are singing Igbo language. The only dancing style of the Igbo is bending, stooping down and rising randomly and not the sokous way. I am not ignorant of the Nigerian culture of waiting for people to form tunes and then all they have to do is fix words in and claim that the tune originated from heaven. I am not ignorant of their number one corruption culture.
Jehovah ga-emeremu ihem na-acho. Jehovah ga-emerenum ihe roro ya.. God will give me what I ask for/what I beg for (basically he will answer my prayers)
The enemy will come disgissed as a lamb but in reality will be a wolf only wearing the skin of a lamb. Money making craze is driving people to go to unbelievable levels.
By the way, i love this song so much cos it makes a lot of sense to me, even though i am not ibo. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord of the earth, make a loud noise, rejoice, sing praises.
