gozzlin:
'Biko welu ya nwayoo' is Anambra dialect, in standard Igbo it's 'Biko Were ya nwayoo.' It means: Please take it easy. Or Abeg take am easy.

Thank you!! cheesy

And the last word which is typed as 'wayaka' (but maybe it should be spelled differently?), what is that?

Please can someone tell me which language this is, and what it means?? It's from a Yemi Alade (ft Sauti Sol) song, 'Africa',

Biko weruya wayo
Wayaka

(I know 'biko' is please in Igbo)
Oh and maybe it is misspelled..? On the song on youtube it are the words from 1:14-1:18.

Thank you so much !!!
