naptu2:
Whoever wrote the title of that wonderful album on the album sleeve translated it wrongly.

Ketekete = Donkey. Eshin = Horse.

Therefore, the title should have been

The Donkey, The Man And The Son.

Ebenezer Obey sang about ketekete, not eshin.

This would bring it in line with the title of the story from Aesop's Fables.

naptu2:
"Go with your bicycle, we're not playing with you anymore"


"If he goes to a party and they ask him what he wants and he says he wants coca-cola, they'll say that he doesn't know how to enjoy himself, jedi jedi will kill him"


"If he is the chief of enjoyment, he drinks champagne, schnapps, Harp beer, Tusk beer, Guinness lager, they'll give him a name, someone that uses all his money to drink alcohol"

naptu2:
I've always wanted to translate and transcribe all the stories from that song into this diary, but I've never had the time. Maybe I can do it tonight.

naptu2:
A reading from the book of wisdom.

OK, this time I'm actually going to translate all the stories.

Sir Shina Peters - Shinamania (Afro Juju Series 2) (1990).

naptu2:
Aha! Now for the song.

I'm sure that everybody remembers Ace, everybody remembers Shinamania, everybody remembers Seven Seven and quite a lot of people remember Omo Mbo, but I'm not referring to any of those songs.

Do you remember Sir Shina Peters' rap song? Yes, I wrote rap song. SSP had a funny little rap song on the Shinamania album. It lasted a little over 2 minutes and it's called Omoge Loke Loke. I've been searching for that song since forever and now I've found it.

This is the entire album. The funny little rap song is at the 31:40 minute mark.

Heart Cry – Wale Adenuga ft Nathaniel Bassey & Victoria Orenze

I’m hungry Lord
I’m dry and desperate
No peace within
No one can feel me
I need a way out
I need you Jesus

You and I know
That I am thirsty Lord
You and I know it’s only you
That can fill me Lord

Dyt:


For me
I got 3


Moment 4 life
Right thru me (I love love love)
Your love

True!!! You just jogged my memory. Those songs were pure fire. It's been a very very long time I heard that pink Friday album, 8 years or so. But the one I always go back to watch on YouTube is moment 4 life. Those you mentioned are my favorite too, especially "right thru me" and Roman's revenge.

What are we doing,
Could you see through me?
Cause you say Nicki
And I say who me?
And you say no you
And I say screw you.
Then you start dressing
And you start leaving
And I start crying
And I start screaming
The heavy breathing
But whats the reason.
Always get the reaction you wanted
I'm actually fronting
I'm askin' you something
Yo, answer this question,
Class is in session,
Tired of letting
Passive aggression
Control my mind,
Capture my soul
OK your right
Just let it go.
OK you got it,
Its in the can.
Before I played it
You knew my hand.
You could turn a free throw into a goal.
Nigga got the peep hole to my soul.

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
