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...

Critical Analysis of "Vanity" by Birago Diop.

VANITY (Analysis) Vanity is Birago Diop’s way of expressing the frustrations of Africans after colonization. During, and after, colonization, eurocentrism was rampant. Eurocentrism  is the act of accepting and digesting the European culture hook sink and liner while neglecting one’s (local) culture and tradition. The contact with the French and British made many Africans neglect their tradition and culture in order to dress, speak and appear like the Europeans. Colonialism further contributed to this issue because the European education, government and mode of education became what was required in the administration. These are the issues that if the poet persona should start to narrate, who will hear them without first laughing at them? If we tell, gently gently All that we shall one day have                          to tell Who then will hear our voices            ...

Word Formation and Advertisements

Words are added to the English dictionary constantly, everyday, due to writers giving themselves freedom to capture their thoughts; thus, they take liberty in creating new words. This is due to the fact that the English language is the most spoken language in the world. As a common language used among humans, therefore it calls for users to make words to convey or reveal their meaning so as to express themselves evenly. Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society  (as cited in Salzmann, 1993, p. 153). Thus, one can sense the importance why new words need to be created. This attitude easily gives English the advantage to have more lexicons than some other languages. There are four different levels of linguistics, and these levels are: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The bra...
