Story for the gods.

I am tempted the Man was paid to promote the Music and the Music video.

Let me give a background. To listen to Olamide, Phyno, Wizkid, Davido and you expect spiritual uplifting only shows hypocrisy of the highest order. They sing Lewd and songs with less Moral whatsoever. I have listened to wizkid's line saying (Mon do omo meji, meaning i am sleeping with two ladies at a time). So the arguement is not , DO they sing Morally justified song or not.

It is a wicked lie to attribute story for the gods to rape. It is a lewd song but does not justify any rape. I wish i av more time to analyze the song line by line instead of the summary the CHief Imam is trying to give us.

I just watched the video 5 times again before posting this and damn, i wasted my precious time and MB like some would always say. The claim that the video promotes lesbianism is the most stupid thing i have heard in recent times. Showing girls having fun with guys more like a party and several dance moves can not be in any way linked to lesbianism or said to promote lesbianism in any sane environment.

The lyrics talked about rape, like seriously ? That is another wicked lie twisted just the way 2 lawyers will twist the constitution to Defend and prosecute a victim of the law.

Will i allow my children listen to 'Story for the gods' ? Big NO

Is the VIdeo in any way promoting LEsbianism ? "HELL NO"

Is the song singing about any form of rape ? "HELL NO"

The video interpretes the song and no rape was promoted.

This great article would have been more meaningful if you condemn Boko Haram Killing innocent civilians.

What you wrote is pure lies and can not be translated to rape.

i can not say d song promotes rape

bt the video promotes lesbianism

am sure u watched the censored video

the uncensored video two girls where seen kissing while in the background three girls were in a bath tub romancing each other

am suprised abt d scene cos if i can remember lesbianism is illegal in nigeria

any how am nt suprised most naija entertainers are gays nd lesbians it is an open secret

Let me go and watch the video

manjiggy:


Will you say the same thing about watching blue films?

ehm i never gave that a thought, i get your point.

Hungry goat... U wan die abi u wan get money

I'm bleeping sure most of this critics nods their head to the song anytime it comes on.

queenlabisi:
you should also go nd listen to d song again, e neva said CARO bt claro.. The video is so obscene, wats wit d 2gals in the tub?

Indeed he said Claro, that I know. Clara I know, Caro (Caroline/Carolina) I also know, but Claro

Caro is the street slang for a girl who's down for whatever. So his chorus was about him being in the mood that required a Caro.

He might have been avoiding a copyright issue, but I reckon he his guilty of the same error made by Timaya, who sang "pump champagne" instead of pop champagne (to uncap). Most people realise the errror and decide to go with the original flow.

If the video is obscene, does that become rape? Or did rape occur in the video? That is the argument of this thread.

One is a moral issue, the other, a very criminal assault.

mbulela:


Dude, No means No.
Whether she is pretending or not.
No real man mistakes or misinterprets that.

If she says she does not want it and you forcefully have it, it does not matter whether she somersaults while sucking your d.ick, the fact is that you have violated her. Neither does it matter whether you were high on monkey tail or not.

Are you talking about Olamide's song or something else?

Who is encouraging u to rape?

The OP got the interpretation of the song wrong, simple.

@all those shouting rape,

Sunny Ade, China Peters, Fela (shakara oloje...), Ebenezer Obey etc all have made songs like using there own genre, I guess they are all talking about rape too. Mtcheew!

Brightgem:
Plenty foolish comments by foolish people!! I hope many who are yarning dust will wholeheartedly be glad to die and meet their God with a song about fornication right on their lips. Even if you beg some people to "GET SENSE" OP. You try, you don talk your own, leave the rest.

Iya Jesu, what most of you religious folks fail to understand is you guys will go to the hell you promote first.

You have no right to judge others and their choice of songs.

mbulela:


Was the girl in the song his wife or girlfriend?
Your analogy is faulty.
This was a one night stand after a night of booze and drugs. In that scenario how do you overcome reluctance with an almost total stranger?
Using her hotness in bed as a proof that she consented is like saying it is impossible for a rape victim to physically enjoy the sex. Or that if a rape victim achieves orgasm, she/her was not raped.

You build your argument from a standpoint of rape, I built mine from the song.
If you do not perceive that you already have rape lingering in your subconscious mind, then there's not much I can do to give you a different perspective.

Booze and drugs? Yes!
One night stand? Yes!
Did he get a permit? Obviously!
Was the act rough? Expectedly!

Dude did not tire, he was on a roll. His other/same sexual exploit (which could have even been a narrative explaining how he got the first and same girl to his home) even came with a friend, who joined in the or.gy.

I see a consensual sex or.gy, please show me the rape.

Abeg... Y always him, let the guy be

Hhhhmmmm.... When I read that article on sahara reporters I just did mttcheewww. Another misguided article. In Yoruba language, there are different meanings to the same words. He's not glorifying rape. She said she cannot wait , its getting late and all that is the normal forming of a girl, the. Oti kan mi lapa eyin and co means after taking his ope eyin dogonyaro etc, he worked on her so hard she started speaking in morrocco So op na u knw who interprete for you.most nigerian music glrofy fornication so leave BADOO alone.

are u serious?

I never cared about the lyrics until now.

mbulela:

what is it promoting?

his sexual prowess

queenlabisi:
true it isnt promoting rape but what bout the use of hard drugs, weed and alcohol and also the sexual undertone...gezzzz

I'v nothing to say abt the last part cos u'r right. good morning

A point is made here. You would always think the noisy ambulance is carrying a log of wood if it hymn passes. But na another person dead body related to someone who is in pain.

It is wen it has not affected you that one would counter what this dear writer wrote here until it touches you.

adami:


Oh pls,shove ur 9ja criticism in ur pocket. Is it American songs that are better?? what does J-lo's big booty and Nicki Minaj's Anaconda teach you?? We have good artists in 9ja that with sense making songs and lyrics and we have the non-sense making songs and lyrics, same as every other country. Stop looking for reasons to criticise everything Nigerian.

m telling u dia music n videos r irritating to me n u talking bout criticism,a video u can't gain a thing from,or laugh @ d humour,what else is dia to watch? Or a song dts all beats n no lyrics!!!d likes of 2face,banky,p-square,still sings better songs with good videos,we av d good,d bad,n d ugly,but t seems d good is on ts way to extinction in our music industry,n dat dia was ma point nt pullling d whole industry into d mud,n yea if ur typa music is d type saint janet's sings,dts nt ma headache bt dat wudnt stop me from uttering ma displeasure bout d song,if u tink m d type dt idolizes d western world den u suck!!

:-but who can explain the part of the song 'ti o ba dun e, ko faramo.' Which means ' withstand the pain however you want to (I don't care if you are in pains) '...that is not something I as a woman would want to experience from a man
but that said, I think the song is a strategy by Olamide to blow the youths' minds by singing about fornication in such a lousy and cunny manner. # market strategy tins#
May God save us in this generation.

Thanks for your great display of ignorance.
CAROL- is the name of a girl

CLARO- I'm sure the weed smokers know what this means. It is attributed to weed
i hear ppl use it to refer to the wrap of weed they smoke.

Monkey tail- i hope u knw he isnt referring to the tail of a monkey sha. All these things are stuffs u take to get high...

And shey u knw dongoyaro too? Cos this is commoner dan d previous ones

They were highly needed for the s.ex to go well.

freecocoa:
Yes it is r*pe, why can't you just let her be if she is tired? Does the fact that she said "No" stop her from being a human being? Must you have your way anytime you are hot?

Madam, rape is when you use physical force or drug to have sex with someone... It is not when you persuade someone into submission.

I remember one Olu Maintain song with the lyrics... Eyin romi romi... Is that promoting rape too?

To the writter I appreciate u took to translate it u really tried, but u seems not to understand it very well....is not rape at all...it was the girl that (according to the music) is the girl that said she want it, she said she can't that she want to faint, after she get wat she then said am in trouble, u have break my waist and hand

I h0nestly feel f0r the y0uths 0f this generati0n c0s the devil is 0bvi0usly 0ut t0 shw he rules n 0wns the music industry. Please parents we have gt m0re w0rk t0 d0. The end is s00 near.

I dnt blame olamide Bt d lady's dat displayed their K legs,expired yash,big bellies,ugly faces,sagged breast n all that,I wonder wen lady's will grow up,d olamide dey were singing/dancing with is well dressed,who is d foolish 1 here?this is why husband is scarce#Nonsense#

timsbee:
dat song is an illicit song which potrays d caliber of ppl in d music industry....



Sina is wat dey do evry day nd night.



Let rapture occur joor.

you are poor?

Omo this guy dey vex oh! There are different interpretations to everything. I see the song as one describing a babe trying to form sharp (prolly after the guy has flexed her), not as one encouraging rape. Besides they all sing about rubbish, all of them. Just free your mind and dance to the beat.


Or write a petition to GEJ and copy IGP

[size=20pt]THE END IS NEAR[/size] wey una papa and mama don shout before dem jam theirselves con[size=20pt] shoki[/size] born you....na him una still dey shout for here, person wey drop correct jam to enjoy forget [size=20pt]hardship[/size] wey dey this country una dey bash him hot single, na wa for all this hypocrites ooo, if only one can take a sneak peek into your world

kennygee:
I have never liked his songs.

Olamide fans, Oya, defend your Idol.

Go and listen to Anifowose

That's misinterpretation.
"To ba dun e, Ko faramo" means that although this suppose to be an enjoyable experience but if its painful, do endure

sparkless96:
no its not, but ts encouraging adultery

don't you think it's encouraging lesbianism?
There's nothing adulterous in the video.......... #winks#

The OP has added irrelevant complexity to the lyrics, and has done great diservice by excluding the sections where lyric suggests the subject t came of her own will including a friend Naffi

The song might not be morally upright but I can not for any reason suggest it glorifies rape or special harrasment
