Landmark225: Gbedu literally means "big drum" and is a percussion instrument traditionally used in ceremonial Yoruba music in Nigeria and Benin. More recently, the word has come to be used to describe forms of Nigerian Afrobeat and Hip Hop music? Stop arguing what you don't know? Pidgin word ko dove word ni 20 Likes 2 Shares |

This writer is half-truthful cos many words here were copied from Hausa language. In everyday activities, Yorubas can't stop using many phases derived from Hausa language...ALUBARIKA, SERIKI, etc. 1 Like |

Landmark225:It woun't change anything,but don't go about trying to distort a fact. Since you claim to have a First Class in Yoruba,you should have at least a basic knowledge of the musical instruments used by the people. When the late Orlando Owoh sang "Aiku egiri laye ko se ni je fi awo e se gbedu"(I hope I didnt eff up the line) he was speaking Pidgin right?LOL. I pray you get your visa soon,bro.

Landmark225:Forget about your first class and listen. You are right concerning the fact that gbedu does not mean song but gbedu is a yoruba word meaning a kind of drum beat (or beat). The fact that you have a first class in Yoruba language does not mean you know the language more than our grannies. Some 15 year old kids who grew up in the village will school you when it comes to yoruba words and expression. Peace. 6 Likes 1 Share |
