I laugh in Dominion Powers.

1.My earthly progenitors are Yoruba Ponbele. (Awori ati EGBA ALAKE)


2. The word gagara could be mean many things based on the tone (phonemes) and aami ohun ti o ba wa lori gbolohun naa.

Gagara (do do do) means very tall and huge.
e.g Eran Agbonrin yen ni iwo gagara (That Deer has a very huge horn)

Gagara (re re re) means being proud.
e.g. Baba eleran nse apa gagara (That meat seller man is very proud)

Garagara (do do, do do) means proud too. Or it means you are doing anyhow. It has same meaning as 'bashubashu'

I still maintain it that your word "Gagaraga' does not Exist in Yoruba Morphology.

3. I am open to more learning bro.

ilordspy pls i want to learn too. Answer this pls

Obedients are mostly igbo traders with no formal education with some blind/illiterate bloggers from Edo state and some people under serious poverty thinking the high cost of living is only peculiar to Nigeria. They don't have the intelligence to compare Nigeria with other countries.

It's unfortunate that you don't travel.

Secondly, that your association is too small.

And last, that you live your life online.

Anywhere, that is the mentality of an average Yoruba man. When I meet most of your people with your kind of mentality, they usually ask me what I sell.

Like seriously?

Where did your man get "gagaraga" that he wrote in his write up?

Garagara is use as unstable.
Gagaraga is used as unstable but when reffering to someone's body. It means the person is having a skeleton-structure.

Like ... Ara e gagaraga yen. That is: " with that your slim body"

It is used as jab or insult. Please ask around.

you're the one exhibiting gross stupidity, by defending Tinubu/APC's gaffe.

Which sane presidential candidate says that during a campaign? Only a senile one. And you try to rationalise it?

You always try to explain it or further dumb it down the Jagaban jargon to us.

Gazettengr.com was where the news of supposedly Tinubu's gaffee emanatted from before been spread like wildfire by people who only takes pleasure in making mockery of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to their report, it reads "Yahoo boys’ in local parlance means internet fraudsters but The Gazette could not immediately find the meaning of the terminology gazelle gagaraga, despite searches in major dictionaries and thesaurus."

The news here: https://www.nairaland.com/7511552/gazelle-gagaraga-tinubu-suffers-gaffe

But what Gazettengr failed to understand is that there is no stated rules or law that you must communicate with words from 'major dictionaries or thesaurus' in political rallies.

The meaning of gazelle gagaraga
There is what we call gara gara in yoruba. It means unstable or unsettled. Same as the pidgin slang 'gragra' .

We also have the word gagara (ga-ga-ra) or gagaraga (gaga-raga) used by Tinubu which means boastful, pompous, inflated, proud, made, self-important, domineering, pendantic, or magniloquence.

The south-westerners can relate; the yorubas to be specific. There is a street word: Igara (I-gara) which is derive from or shortform of gagara or gagaraga it also means boastful, inflated, proud etc. (as aforementioned)

We normally use it like 'Igara chicken': Which translate to boastful empty chicken which is only covered by plenty feathers.

Or 'Igara iceblock' which means boastful or proud iceblock which will only end up as water.
These words are local street words or slangs.

Gazelle
A gazelle is one of many antelope species in the genus Gazella. With a horn, Gazelles are known as swift animals.

when we use the word gazelle to refer to person or group of people. It means Proud person, something that dont stay one place easily, something that changes location swiftly. Reason why when we say someone is growing gazelle horn ' it means the person is becoming proud"


So Tinubu saying he is going to “turn so called yahoo yahoo boys into in manufacturing and creation of than being gazelle gagaraga.”

Means he is going to change them from a boastful proud unsettled yahoo-yahoo boys to a product manufacturer and an intelligent creator.

Living and learning, dont be always quick to criticise or make fun of what you dont know.
Oga we no be fools, please stop dis it's embarrassing.... Bulaba bablu too na youruba slangs?

It exists. Same as gagaraga. I am a Yoruba. I grew up in Lag. Even if i spent most of life as a northerner. Gaga( in high tone) then raga (in low tone)

O nse gagaraga kiri... This means he is behaving unstable. Not really insane. But not quite settled .

If you say: " O nse Ara gaga-raga kiri. It is used to insult or throw jab at a slim person of skeleton structure walking around without clothe.

It means walking around with skeleton-like body without shame.

Absolutely brilliant. People Gazette is a trashy platform for fake news and bigots.

Since Kperogii disgraced himself the time he could not understand how brilliant Asiwaju is, he has since learnt to keep silent and think deeply to comprehend Asiwaju Tinubu.

don't mind him, People's Gazette is APC's nemesis.
