It's a pity that Nigerians just like thier leaders can't have intelligent conversations on how to move the country forward. Small thing, they'll start hurling insults at one another.
As I was reading the comments above, I was just shaking my head.

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.”

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.

You must be quite very stupid. I want to believe you are being well paid for all these stupidity.

Did. U watch the video of the bulablablue?

Or you turned blind&deaf to it?

Someone that struggled to pronounce what he had in mind to say.
Seriously struggled.
Then you say *it's like saying blah blah*.

What he was fighting with his life to say was obviously "hoolabalu".

Dont be stupid. I am trying to cure you of your ignorance. To pull you out of the sea of stupidity.

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.
You try, you are doing well, Since you can explain this , which means you can even define BULABA !

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" .

Where in the world does the meaning of gazelle mean "proud"? When gazelle is used for a person it means speed because the animal represents speed.

Where has anyone ever been told that they are "growing gazelle horn"? Where did you manufactur these lies from?

Very silly people with empty-head. One is even questioning that why will Tinubu be using a yoruba slang at rally. Can you imagine?

First it was 'Na gaffe, tinubu cant talk well'

Now after setting it straight for them. They are now asking me why should he be using Yoruba at rally.
Those obi people are so petty it's annoying.

But isn't it ihordspy who ended up being the propagandist, spreading falsehood with this write up and twisting what Tinubu said?

Or can you produce the truth in the write up?
He was explaining what Tinubu meant. Gazelle is a young antelope, gragra is a pidgin slang for restiveness. Gazelle gragra means, youthful exuberance or restiveness.

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.
Oya, come defend balablu blu bulaba. I just wonder how ashamed your children will be when they're grown n eventually read all these your nonsense write-ups
