A Review of Flavour's Gbo Gan Gbom Ft. Phyno and Zoro.




My people,  I present to you the song of the moment,  the song of the people,  by the people and for the people.  The whole of Coal City town is finally  set ablaze with this video which has now gone viral.

Flavour has finally released his video for Gbo Gan Gbom ft.  Phyno and Zoro and I couldn't be more enamoured  of the richness of the video. 

I felt really close to home.  The music,  the sound of the gongs. The drums,  udu,  ichaka ,  ekwe,  and all other musical instruments. 

Those streets I walked,  the faces I know and the thrill in thse people's faces are all what gave the song a deeper connection for me. 

Clarence did a really good job at creatively fashioning out the midpoint where older Igbo
 culture and recent  contemporary Igbo  culture intersected. 

Hefty virile men with large pectorals remind me of how strong,  courageous and determined these Igbo brothers can get. 

The masquerades are too die for.  I have to say,  don't let your cultural heritage slip by by condemning their entertainment factor. 

You see Izaga,  eze agaba,  Ada mma,  and many others all playing a crucial role in adding more traditional beauty to the video.   

The video is something that I can boldly say was intellectually conceived and dexterously produced. 

Flavour,  Phyno and Zoro... Words can't explain how happy I am that you guys have decided to be the last bastion of our cultural heritage through your  art.

  2. They still don't have content and why people crave for their half baked excuses for art is that they the people have no real content. Thats why I crave for the likes of Jon Bellion... I'm not trying to be unpatriotic here, all I'm saying is, they should do real songs that relate to real situations and people..I request you do a video on what Nigerian music is missing and what Nigerian people don't understand about music. I mean I can't be filling my subconscious with crap music

    1. That is heavy judgement for the quality of music on display. This beat here is awesome, and the reviewer captured the quality perfectly in so few words.

      He deserves praise for the great quality of the review, not some make believe bull about your tastes in music.

      On your recommendation, I went and listened to Jon Bellion and now I know you are a confused human being ... especially if you are black or of african descent.

      They are not similar music ... this is cultural, sassy, punchy and world beating quality that you can never compare with anything Bellion plays. Bellion is talented, but in his genre I have others I would rate better.

Alright let's get  down to brass tacks.  Today,  we are looking at the idiom Rest assured What does it mean

Is it correct to say I waybilled it to you? A few expressions you probably don't understand

Good morning KIB students. Thank you for showing immense love to your teacher. Many of you understand how draining it could be for someone to consistently post here on Facebook. I appreciate those who ensure that my bank account doesn't  get flooded with cockroaches😃. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city". We freighted the cargo down to Port Harcourt. freight is used when  goods are quite bulky. When good...
