Please can someone tell me which language this is, and what it means?? It's from a Yemi Alade (ft Sauti Sol) song, 'Africa',

Biko weruya wayo
Wayaka


(I know 'biko' is please in Igbo)
Oh and maybe it is misspelled..? On the song on youtube it are the words from 1:14-1:18.

Thank you so much !!!


'Biko welu ya nwayoo' is Anambra dialect, in standard Igbo it's 'Biko Were ya nwayoo.' It means: Please take it easy. Or Abeg take am easy. grin

Thank you!! cheesy And the last word which is typed as 'wayaka' (but maybe it should be spelled differently?), what is that?

You're most welcome.

'Wayaka' is not Igbo. My guess is that it means 'take it easy' in another African language.

You could hear Yemi repeating in the chorus, the words; 'biko welu ya nwayoo, wayaka, karibukiti,...' I'm almost certain they each mean 'take it easy' in different African languages.

Poet Heywhy speaks on the past!

When we travel into our past, we tend to swim in rivers of memories while stirring waves of emotions. But, the important question is, do we wish to live in the past? Does our past interest us?

HeyWhy speaks on Africa's past! What happened during the days of our father's? What was the schedule?

This is poetry cum revelation, directly from the mouth of an African. You know, no one tells our story than we do!.. Enjoy��

Proudly Whyke.

It simply means 'wisdom' or 'common sense' But it can also mean 'conscience' depending on the context.
