It’s garagara not gagarara. Don’t twist Yoruba words.

Lol. So many of you live in Abule. Deep inside village. Lagosian will use most of you people words as amusement.

Some are even telling me garagara doesnt exist . That it is giragira grin . Now you are telling me it is garagara not gagaraga.

When we say somebody is doing body gagaraga. It means a slim-like structure body and the person flaunting it without clothe...

It is mostly used as insult or jab.

Is it even presidential/classy for Tinubu to be soo condensending to members of the society?
Hope you know what he did here was BODY SHAMING.
Which is very very wrong.
And u are proudly defending and interpreting it?

Does his wife not have skeletal structure?


No there is something we call connotative meaning. It applies to even slangs. He isnt talking about the slim-like structure but reffering to the flaunting on the body itself.

Take note of the word flaunting. He is using it to refer to yahoo yahoo boys been proud and flaunting themselves.

I just wish you guys can get it.

Do you work as a teacher? because doing anything else is a waste of human resource. If you have no job currently please apply for teaching job and let me know which school Iight bring my kids there to learn from you. Be that as it may, I want to advise you to stop trying to make sense of things like this to Obidients, as of now, the only thing that is acceptable to them is either saying things that condemns Tinubu or things that elevate Obi, in fact no middle ground. If I were you, on election day, I will make sure they see senses in whatever Tinubu is saying now.

Most of them criticising this are even Igbo not yoruba. Criticising what they know nothing about.

Just take a look at the word 'buga' ... If not for kiss daniel popular song title buga that enligtened them small. Some will have dismissed it as incorrect or a gaffe.

The northerners here before the kiss daniel song, thought buga only has one meaning, which is the leather fetcher use to draw water from well.

Ignorance is a disease truly.

Probably you were thinking in line of "gagara" (like "akuko gagara to gori ope ree le tente..."wink. Else, not sure such word exists. I even had to google it and found a pdf referring to it among some others as a nonsensical word. Mind you, I am not trying to antagonise you -- I just don't like my language being murdered, that's all smiley.

You are not a lagosian. Please shift.

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.
To defend Tinubu even though I sound stupid....so help me God.

Dont criticise what you have zero idea about. Gazelle gagaraga is very correct.

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.

I want to believe that Tinubu personally called you to tell you exactly what he meant.

If he didn't call you personally, how were you able to know his exact intentions with the connotation/denotation?

That means everyone on this thread who fired you with other mumbojumbos Tinubu misyarned at other instances were RIGHT TO HAVE ASKED YOU TO INTERPRET THOSE OTHER MUMBOJUMBOS.

For you to be so intelligent enough to interprete what he meant here, you should also be able to interprete the following below, since it's obvious yourself and Tinubu are in a HIGHER REALM than everyone of us here on Nairaland.

Why didn't you explain to us why Tinubu was licking a microphone? Is that part of Yoruba culture too?


Try and explain the meaning of the following



-"God bless PDAPC."

-"Four hundred bags barrels of oil"

-"Go and collect your APV, APC & vote."

-"A townhall meeting is different from Babablu Bluublu bulabu.

-"A dead fish cannot be sweet in any soup."

-"Broom! broom!! broom!!! brooooommm."

-"BUHARRI BUHARRI...Say it again BUHARRI"

-"A father of a child is mother of the father whose child is the father."

-"Turning the rotten situation of the state to a bad one."

-"The deputy senate president...will be the governor of Niger Delta state.”
