Omd THIS IS SIERRA LEONEAN ...MANZU N C-BOLTS R ACTING LIKE NIGERIANSZ IN THIS OKAYY NORMALLY THEY DNT SING LYK THIS...THIS IS THE WHOLE POINT OV THIS SONG DU'H
I love this song but... I 'm tired of coming to pgs. to learn about the beauty of Africa & the culture that was lynched out of us in America only to see Africans disrespect each other b/c of their differences. MY GRANDPARENTS WHO WERE STOLEN AWAY WERE YOUR AUNTS & UNCLES. These divisions existed back then & everyone has suffered the consequences. Each of us are like fingers on a hand-all different but connected. Divided, we're weak & easily conquered. United, we're strong. LET'S UNITE!
lol this is funny to me...Sierra Leone, Nigerian what-da-fuck-ever. He sound kinda nigerian to me i am from sierra leone and ppl dont really talk like that. But u can always read up on his bio for all u crazy ppl who what to know. As for me we are all from West Africa so i don't really care.
people u all getting everything wrong this is a sierra leone aka lion mountians...i know this people okay so u cant tell me nothing....pure sierra leonean
These are Sierra leoneans singing with Nigerian pidgin accent. We Sierra Leoneans call Nigerians "oga" and the song, for those that don't know is about an "Oga" that takes away his beautiful wife. A typical example of life under the Nigerian military during the civil war. Both peoples speak broken English and therefore can understand each other. But the song is by Sierra leoneans but with Nigerian accent.
In a recent reply to my comments someone reminded me that S-L pidgin is called Krio (Creole). Of course we know that in Nigeria, but the point is so many of the local words in Krio are Nigerian Yoruba. Oga is a Yoruba word for master, but it's freely used from Naija to S-L. Potopoto don get fire: 0:27-0:30 (There is fire in the mud or swamp) is based on the Yoruba word for mud; it means something unheard of has happened. We should rejoice that gaps are being bridged in our West African culture.
"Eewo"' is from Igbo, meaning "Alas!" "Yeye" is Yoruba for nonsense; gbaju'e is scam artist. "Biko" is Igbo for please; egusi and eba are Yoruba and Igbo staples. Sierra-Leone should make the best of its rich cultural background, not quibble about its many sources. Singing in French even though it's officially an Anglophone country is a step in the right direction. Yoruba has been one of the main cultural influences on Salone society; the surprise is the rest of Nigeria has not been far behind.
We are saying the same thing, don't you think? Your spelling of "potopoto" (mud), is slightly different, but even when spelt as "potopota" it still refers to the same matter, wet earth. The sense of the usage is not as important as the meaning of the extraordinary occurrence it tries to convey: when mud catches fires it means something unusual has happened! In Yoruba they might have put the same idea differently, "A kii ri ina ninu ere" (No one finds a fire burning in a swamp).
Befor you idiots get me mad check out his other videos, (Titi Hold Me) Dembella and knodofat may is the acent he used that why you getting it wrong!!!
Wat that fuck? get your fact right it is not Nigerian music it pure sierra leone song!! aAn you idiot who is saying you are freom sierra leone do u know about Monzo Avece C-bolt! They are born sierra leonean, Tell me a bit about manzo!! Was he born disabled? If you can tell me face about his life and how he became disabled I will agree with stupis sierra leonan that don't know your root idiot!!

These are the most raising Sierra Leone musician that has done what was not expected of them. Their first album hits the whole country, the second one was also fantastic than ever. I love the track. Thomas Sylvanus Gbnondo, Australia. A Sierra Leonean.
