Mayorkun’s “Your Body”: The 2 Meanings Attached to the DMW Artiste’s Song.

 Mayorkun’s “Your Body”: The 2 Meanings Attached to the DMW Artiste’s Song.

Produced by Fresh VDM, and released December 4, 2020.



Here is the amazing visual rendering of the song by Dammy Twitch.



Mayorkun’s “Your Body" was released December 4, 2020. Because the song has grown on us all, we don't really notice that the song hasn't been around that long.

 The song was welcomed with love and light by fans all over the world. Especially the ladies. (Quite ironic, right?) because the song is a satire about them. Like many other Mayorkun’s songs with the “ge ge” trademark, it was a hit (back to back). 

While many fans vibed to it, a handful of us were ruminating on the lyrics. Asking life saving questions such as: “what could this song mean? Whom is it about?”

 “Tell me wetin dey  your body your body….she ki n kaye fun e tori o yodi… gege”.

One question keeps popping: is he curious about the innumerable pleasures in the lady’s body?

Or,

Is he being sarcastic?

Sarcastic about the lady’s sense of entitlement to his wealth because she is a lady (who has figure 8, breasts and rump)?

Truth be told, a handful of the female gender members have pulled quite some tricks off their sleeves lately. 

While some just ask for “urgent 2k”, others just hit the nail on the head and hammer in their requests. 

It’s this issue that Mayorkun sings about in “your body”.

Perhaps, he has become a social commentator (not intentionally though), discussing the rampant sense of entitlement issue prevalent in the society.


then he went on to disclose how they eventually got down in the inner room.

Analysis of "Come Away my Love" by Joseph Kariuki

According to Chinua Achebe, as stated in the Author’s biography, “Come Away my Love” is a love poem. It is a love poem about the trials and tribulation of a love affair between a black man from Kenya and a white woman from England. Analogously, it is about the embodiment of altercations experienced in an inter-racial relationship. That is, this will be the same issue encountered by an Asian espoused to a European/American, or an Indian alongside an African. Being a love poem, the title of the poem gives a hint about the typical lovers’ activities. They come away from the public eyes into a secret/romantic environment where there love, affection and energy can be optimally consummated. However, another meaning can be derived from this title. The meaning that can be derived is that the persona is asking his lover to rendezvous at a secret location away from the society that has proven counterproductive towards their love. The society has been an inhibiting factor for their love be...

A Critical Analysis of "A Sandal on the Head" by Kwesi Brew

A SANDAL ON THE HEAD (Analysis) This poem has the lyrical characteristics of African orality. It is not written in the regular English poet’s literal form of writing. Kwesi Brew employed the use of proverbs and African adage to paint the poem with beautiful and colourful imagery. The features are metaphors embedded with African proverbs. Examples of these imagery are evident in: The broken cannot be made whole! The strong had sheltered in their strength The swift had sought life in their speed, The crippled and the tired heaped out of the way These statements are more than witty statements. Moreover, what this excerpt also mean is that things are seemingly not going the proper way. Perhaps the economy or political structure is defunct. The broken cannot be made whole will mean that things have been destroyed beyond reparation. That things have totally fallen apart. As a result of this hardship, only the strong, favoured, fortunate and opportune are able to endur...

JOSEPH KARIUKI

JOSEPH KARIUKI’S BIOGRAPHY. A lot of commentary is written on his existence on earth, but just a little was mentioned about his birth, death, Alma Matter and about his existence. The little that is known about him states that he is a Kenyan, born in Banana Hill. He is educated both in Kenya and abroad: at Makerere and Cambridge.  He is popular for his famous poem which is an ode to the former Kenyan president, Jomo Kenyatta.   However, nothing was said about his date of birth, parents, marriage, occupation and his childhood. Chinua Achebe’s comment about Kariuki goes thus: that he has met Joseph Kariuki through his poems, especially through his love poem “Come Away my Love”.  He opined that the poem is about the trials and tensions of an African in love with a white girl in Britain.
