Hello lovely community members, it's another beautiful moment again this week to share some vibes. My name is mamab here. I am so excited to participate in the 278th edition with the theme "funny songs".
Ordinarily I had no plans to present this week or even soon because I've been busy and my morale for recording videos is low at the moment. But seeing the theme and some amazing entries from @megamo and @oluthomas 😁 I charged up to do something little.
So, I remembered this old song in Eggon language titled "akpo agbu ari agbu" meaning na who sabi work go chop 🤗. Eggon is a language from Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The song is usually used when there is farm work or any labour to be done. It is an encouragement to the hard workers to keep it up because you have to work before you can eat. It is also a warning to the lazy ones that whoever does not work will put his hands on his cheeks when others are enjoying their harvests with food and drinks.
Women also sing it when grinding on stone or doing group pounding and sieving of grains. It is an interesting song specifically dedicated to @ovey10 😀. I see the efforts he is really putting into hive , may his work pay for him.
If you are Eggon by tribe, enjoy your song 🤗. For other tribes, I pity your ears 😃, na gravel you go hear be that 😅.
I will see you in my next post 👍.
