A Review of Cobahms Asuquo's Empty



King Ifey's review
I can't explain why I find immense solace in this song. It  has spoken to me in ways I can't imagine. It helps me to reinforce the fact that I am a Christian...a being that strives really hard to be Christ-like, consistently swimming against currents of the world, jumping out of that band wagon and treading that solitary path.
While on that path, I realise how close you are to me and how void I would've been without you.


The lyrics is just everything that can make your eyes well up in tears. You know deep within you that you are empty if you have no connection with God. ( the song could also refer to somebody one is immensely in love with)
It is simply spectacular.

About the song,
The sequence has something amazing about it. When I listen I feel like I am in a massive hall listening to just a baritone voice and a few musical instruments playing as though it were an orchestra— a massive one.

The rhythm is just one that lives an indelible print in you  heart  and makes you sing every tune in the chorus.
Cobahms is a quintessential baritone singer and his very smooth falsetto is altogether soothing and  very warming.. Incredible dynamics i must say. Just listen to the song...share and uplift somebody's heart.

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...

Do you say 'talk more of' or 'talk less of'? Also, how to pronounce 'parliament'

My beautiful KIB students, today,  you will be happy learning the correct way to express yourselves. Nigerians have a way of changing typical English expressions to suit them. Someone still had to argue with me that the English expression 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't "  is so wrong and does not make sense.  He opines that angel should be there.  He forgets that English can be quite illogical to our Nigerian minds. Lol. People say things like. 'He has not even proposed talk more of walking down the aisle with me' 'He does not have a car,  talk less a house" Well these two expressions or collocations are not common in British and American English. Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned. E.g ...
