oh my God.
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.

Chaii.. Pele.

I pray it's above 50k/month this time.

I just hope they are paying you well for this.. I just hope so.

But is this not Body shaming yahoo boys who can be respectfully rehabitated?

It's like a presidential candidate making a speech that *Vote for me all you ashawo ashawooo girls, I would make your lives better instead of shaking those your small small tiny smelling yanch from one brothel to another*.
Ishilove, is this not Body-shaming a sect of the society already?

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.”

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.


This is a curse... A whole group people would virtually be cheering on someone that is physically,mentally and psychologically unbalanced /challenged as a result of old age for president of the most populous country in Africa..

.Wonders will never end.

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.

So,, Gagaraga meant something in “Yoruba” language,, sheeeyy??


Hmmmm..
And the place where Tinubu said the gagaraga is a Yoruba territory naa,, abbii.??



Na waa for you oo.
Edo people do not even speak nor understand Yoruba, not even any single bit of it.


So, why would a brainless someone go to Edo State and be speaking Yoruba?
Not even a straight-forward Yoruba for that matter, but a disjointed and distorted Yoruba that needed a thesis-writer to break down and analyse in order to interpret.

He doesn't even know his audience any longer?

I am made to really believe that the man is totally and absolutely not in connection with the true realities around him

The funny thing is that Tinubu never mentioned this Gagaraga thing. Baba just muttered some incomprehensible stuff. The whole gagaraga thing came from a media organisation.
