Princek12:

Many people don't understand the song and therefore do not appreciate it because they do not know the meaning of an Oliver Twist. They apparently did not read the Oliver Twist novel. Put simply, an Oliver Twist is a person who is not satisfied and wants to have everything. Applying that definition to D'Banj's Oliver Twist song, D'Banj is talking about a guy who wants to have all the girls. He wants to have, among other girls, Beyonce, even though she is with Jigga; Nicki Minaj, because her nyansh is bigger; Rihanna, because he makes him gaga; Omotola, because people like her; Genevieve, because she is so sweet; and Nadia Buari, because she does not drink gari.

And the last part of the song immediately before the chorus says, "You want to have them all, because you are just an Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist." Rather than for some people to say they do not understand a song and humbly ask for interpretation, they simply say the song makes no sense. Bottom line, the song is entertaining and will be a hit.

As usual, once white people start to like the song and give it the Oyinbo stamp of approval, all these people with inferiority complex who had earlier claimed to hate the song will now claim that they now like the song--that it grew on them.

I love the song and the mohits crew. Why the hate and the beef now? Just keep listening to it, and you will get used to it.

Apparently I had to break down the meaning of the song to people like you who did not understand it. It is one thing to say you don't like the song; it is another thing to say the song makes no sense. You have every right to dislike the song, but to say the song makes no sense, when it actually does, is to look stupid. It would speak humbly if that person who does not understand the song to humbly ask for interpretation. That's where I come in.

If you have to listen to a song over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until it grows on you then YOU HAVE BEEN BRAIN-WASHED -Seriously.

Nigerian Stations are fond of playing songs so often your ears eventually give in and surrender grin

I like the beat (a little bit), but i'm not sold on the lyrics. And what's with the title 'Oliver Twist' undecided? Charles Dickens would be spinning in his grave.

i registered only to reply to your question because i asked myself the same question and surfed the net and Oliver twist novel and it looks fair and square to share :

Dbanj wants to have all this women but he acknowledges that he always wants more. Dbanj makes reference to Charles Dicken’s book “oliver twist”. Oliver, who toils with very little food, remains in the workhouse for six months. One day, the desperately hungry boys decide to draw lots; the loser must ask for another portion of gruel. The task falls to Oliver, who at the next meal tremblingly comes forward, bowl in hand, and makes his famous request: “Please, sir, I want some more.”


In this case Dbanj wont ask for more food but for more women. I guess he wants to be like the Nigerian music icon “FELA” who married 27 wives in a day. WOW!!!

^^^ You don't know nairalanders. Most of them are never-do-wells and glory-destroyers. Imagine a mod, mikuz, also joined the bandwagons.
