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.

    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

      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.

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 ...
