Ever since Korede Bello released his chart
topping song, Godwin , encomiums have
continuously poured in for the song.
TATTLES even said the song “would be
around for a long, long time.” However, not
everyone feels so strongly about the video.
Funke Edidi of tooxclusive.com shares her
opinion.
“Since the release of Korede Bello’s Godwin
video, it’s been trailed with mixed reactions
mostly positive. However, while most of y’all
choose to stay in this safe, happy bubble and
give Korede and his team pats on their
backs, there were certain things I found
curious (I’m trying to be polite here), as such
this article will address just that. If there’s
such a term as ‘over cuteness’, then, there
was an overdose of it in this video. I’m of the
opinion that Korede needs to lose his cute/
innocent boy next door image and pull a
Justin Bieber on us in the nearest future.
Back to the matter, Adasa Cookey is actually
one of the directors I’ve been rooting for but
this? Obviously an HD picture, and from what
I heard, the label didn’t have to spend money
thanks to sponsorship from Access Bank
and Lekki Gardens. It’s not as if it was
terrible storytelling, truth is, it was a really
good visual translation of the song, also good
use of costume, but there were just a couple
of things terribly lacking in the video, and
more importantly few things we could have
done without.
1. Bovi
Everybody loves Bovi, but as is typical of the
Nigerian entertainment industry we tend to
overdo things. I mean after watching the
‘Hour of Victory’ flick, I did laugh a bit. Plus it
added an extra 40 seconds (or more) to the
3minutes+ video, however it was as
unnecessary as the ‘k’ in knee, and if we are
being honest here we’ve seen Bovi do better.
2. That Dance
At first when I saw the dance I simply
assumed our dear Korede Bello was on the
verge of an epileptic fit, (I mean it could have
been part of the story line…) What was that?
Seriously? I literally cringed every time
Korede did the very weird ….I don’t even
know what to call it! As for DonJazzy, don’t
be an agbaya please. I’ve heard and read
various comments on that dance and none of
it fit for public consumption so I’ll just keep
them to myself. I get that Korede isn’t that
much of a performer. I mean I’ve watched
him struggle to actually get into character on
stage and in videos except maybe Dorobucci
where he actually had to act cute so that
didn’t prove to be too much trouble. But if
you really had to do a dance (or shall I call it
jig?) try and get a choreographer to show
you some moves so you don’t end up
looking like a Fulani cultural dancer without
his stick. Just don’t do that ever again! On
the flip side, his attempt at Igbo dance was
pretty impressive.
3. He winked, again!
Someone needs to tell Korede to stop with
his winks! It was cute in Dorobucci video, it
was getting a little bit worrying in the Adaobi
video, now it’s just plain annoying!! Please
retire the wink!! I’d describe Godwin as an
energetic song with a feel-good nature that
inspires this feeling of gratitude and makes
you want to do a little jig, sadly watching this
video will almost bring all that to a
screeching halt.

The video was too short, bovi wasn't all that funny too and the dance step killed it, as for don J he was only being childish I guess.
