Gazettengr.com was where the news of supposedly Tinubu's gaffee emanatted from before been spread like widefire 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
b]boastful proud unsettled[/b]
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.

are you this foolish? Must you lie before you can get Tinubu corrupt money?
You guys covered a man without secondary school,
You covered a man with theft Identity
You covered a man who is mentally unstable.
You covered a man that stole someone's picture claiming his.
what else are you going to defend so that the crumbs will keep on coming?
Whatever Tinubu is giving you today, you will pay in thousands tomorrow.

In yoruba. Gragra is refer to as gara gara . Ask around.
there is different between gara gara and gagaraga.

I no envy you, this your job no easy.

There is no word in real Yoruba Language that is "Gagaraga"

But there is a word like 'Gagara' which describes ANIMALS ( gazelle, deer, cows and Ileya Ram) which evidently has big tall with or without branched horns. Gagara literally means very tall and mighty. Gagara could also be used to describe a mansion, tall buildings, Hills and Mountain.

Gagaraga could be a new slang formed by the creator.

Igara is a street language as said. It means very proud

You are not a yoruba. So quit saying nonsense.

Ga-ga-ra. If you tell somebody in yoruba.
" O se apa gagara "

It means he is raising his shoulder. That implies been proud.

This is just beyond anything I have ever witnessed before even as a Yoruba person wey i be, I'm still wondering what the hell is Gara Gara

Now having to infuse it into an English sentence for the listening hear of the whole word is just laughable

When you refer to somebody as behaving 'gara-gara" ... It means unstable and unsettled.

O nse gara gara bi ewure.

Means behaving unsettled like goat.

Asiwaju is an innovative and very intelligent man, a man of words and knowledge, sadly, what many Nigerians do not understand and can not intelligently comprehend, they call a blunder, a sad reflection of their own poor understanding and ignorance.

I remember the Bulaba noise, which was basically Asiwaju saying your silly townhall was rubbish, it's like saying blah blah, he was actually ridiculing their silly townhall.

Asiwaju is always a million miles ahead hence the name Aswiaju, the leader, the head of the pack.


God Bless Asiwaju Tinubu

The Great Jagaban of the Universe.
