Celebrities / See What Olamide Do To Our Youth by Kosmaths(m): 12:18pm On Jan 04, 2016
AWON GOONS MI
"GOONS" another Word for "FRIENDS"?

I have been pondering on this phrase..."A won Goons Mi" as i have heard some of my Teenagers and even Adults use it when referring to their Friends.
Some of them go like "Shout out s'awon goons mi" or Awon goons mi ni yen" and they say it with so much attitude. So i do my research on what the Word "GOONS" mean.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, 'Goon' first carried the meaning "stupid person" (circa 1921). 'Goons' means a Silly, deliberately Foolish or Eccentric Person, an awkward Foolish/stupid person, an aggressive and Violent Young Criminal, a Thug hired to eliminate or terrorize opponents.

Secondly, I learnt it became more popular amongst young adults in Nigeria because Olamide a hip hop Musician released a song on it which made me more curious that i had to get some of the Lyrics:

* "Shout out s’awon goons mi [ Shout out to my Thug guys]

* Awon eruku mi [My Devil incarnate ]

* Awon loni kin ma para toni keeping cool mi [ Na them Say Make I no Vex Say make I Keeping cool ]

* so bi gobe shele ninu hood mi [ So if Trouble happen for my hood ]

* Teba gbo bajinotu ema rawon goons mi [ if you hear gunshot You will see my Thug guys ]

* Bajinotu kan fawon goons mi [ One Gunshot for my Thug guys ] poka

* Bajinotu meji fawon goons mi [ Two Gunshot for my Thug guys ] poka poka

* Bajinotu orisirisi komalo [ Different kind of Gunshot for my Thug guys ]

* Bajinotu bajinotu bajinotu bajinotu bajinotu o [Gunshot Gunshot Gunshot Gunshot Gunshot o ]

* Olopa o le mawon goons mi e ma sa te bari mopol [Police can’t catch my Thug Guys Don’t run when you see mopol ]

* Awon nan gan silekun fole [ they are the ones opening door for thieves ]

* They dont wanna see the boy rolling mo n rap , mo n korin ,.mo n kingin , mo n wole [ Am Rapping, Am singing, Am kinging Am Shutting down every where ]"

Very interesting Lyrics i must say..So much for Curse Words and the Instigation of Violence. Yet so appealing to some Ignorant young ones and even many Adults.

So here's my advice: Please the next time you hear people use a Word, phrase or Slang, don't try to feel among by using it, without first finding out the meaning, as using words carelessly isn't in vogue anymore.

Also Don't Forget, "Your WORDS CREATE YOUR WORLD!!!!
Happy New Year to everyone and go and take territories.. Complement of the Season.
