In Akan language, we've got something we call loaned words. Most of the stuffs the British brought to Ghana were new to us, hence, we had no Akan names for them. And the alphabets were not the same. So we Ghanaians had to creat a suitable name with our alphabets. Examples of these loaned words in Ghana 🇬🇭 are: Shirt = sheete. The two ees are pronounced like air in Ghana 🇬🇭..we also have something like khaki = kakii in Ghana. So, soldier= soja. We clarify them as very strong. So ,be a soldier, and don't let anyone touch you.
Wow... I’m speechless!!😮🤭, thanks for this wonderful language breakdown🥂 But quick question is Akan language and Twi the same cos someone in the comment section mentioned Twi as the language “Soja” originated from
The Akan language comprises of 3 twi speaking people. We have Asante twi, Nfante twi and akuapem twi.All the Asantes are under Asante twi, and si on. We have other tribes like bono, from the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana who also speaks twi. But that is in written, so we do clicify them ad Akans, even though, we understand each other. I did Akan at A Levels, and, we only had Asante twi, Akuapem twi and Nfante twi in 1994. I'm not sure ,if more has been added. Anything you would like to know about Ghana, don't hesitate to ask me. I'm based in London. Take care
I am a Nigerian but I lived in Ghana Volta region the guy is good but his senior once in industry couldn't let the guy be everybody is afraid that what they're fighting for years black Sharif is coming to take it I mean Grammy award
THANK YOU 1,000 subscribers🙂🥂 Please do tell me what you also think about this song? Support the boy by SUBSCRIBING to the channel and also do well to like and drop a comment, also give me your suggestions of videos you’d like me to react to🤲
I will say it’s Blacko’s colloquial way of pronouncing the real word “soldier” as “soja”. I believe this puts the song in a more relatable manner for the “streets” or should I say “trenches” 😀😀. Just as Oxlade will label “closer” as “Ku lo sa” to give it a casual feel. Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭 🇬🇭🇬🇭
Rip to that brave man ! I recently saw a video about the 4 university boys in Nigeria "aluu4" and it made me remember that soldier in Ghana who died the same way ! Very sad 😢
This season is a very dark one, I think he meant, whenever you come close to achieving anything important you can lose it all or the failure or if you fail the effects can be catastrophic. There is a saying in Ghana, where there's sweetness there's bitterness and that comes from the animal liver and next to it is something bitter that when slaughtering you have to be careful not cut that as it will make the meat bitter well at least that area. Hope some Ghanaians that knows the proverbs can explain better. In short, be careful when you come so close to winning. This also has another meaning in Ghana three young talents passed away through road accidents when they were close to countrywide domination in their fields, one from the movie industry and two in the music industry. I hope I have done justice to the meaning. I stand to be corrected though, one love
Wow!!😮👏🏾... you did real justice to it. Thanks so much preciate your thoughts, i personally picked “being very careful when close to success” - DEEP FACT!
SOJA is our way Ghanaian way of pronouncing soldier just like how some Nigerians will say “ sin card instead of some card or “ how Nigerians say “ son- tine’s. There are many words Nigerians pronounce their way. We have have same here .
It’s soldier in the Ghanaian language like Nigerians drop their language in some of your songs when Ghana does it it’s an issue. I like it when Nigerians drop their language I don’t have a problem with it at all. Like we say Yehowa as in Jehovah right ? Ok hope you got it!
Yes in Ghana old folks pronounce it soja. Its still referring to the same soldier. I guess it'd one of the effects of British English we Africans trying to make it our own. 😄 🤣 😂

In Ghana, a male born on Wednesday is called Kwaku especially in our Akan tribe.
Oh this is new... had no idea, thanks tho😄🥂❤️
@@DahcuteThankGod thank you senior...🥀
@@oseirichardkwaku7693 you’re welcome😃... funny today is Wednesday, you’re the real Kwaku😄🥂🇬🇭
That "soja" was spelled in Ghana language "Twi" and this Soldier is English
Very well explained, Thanks🥂❤️🇬🇭
The Soja was spelt based on the Ghanaian pronunciation.
Yes
The season is very dark means- it's his season cuz he is called blacko (black)
Fair point!😄🥂
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Blacko is FIRE!!🔥, big ups GH🇬🇭
❤❤❤❤ 🔥
😁🥂❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
👏🏾❤️🇬🇭
More like Army following him
Cool.. fr you have a point!😄👏🏾
The pronunciation is African, not just Ghanaian. Again, that fits more in the lyrics than sol-dier.
Fair point... matched with the lyrics👏🏾
This season is a very dark one moves with the first verse
Oh finding his mystery box?😮😱 Wow Blacko is a genius!🤭🇬🇭
soldier is shortcut soja here in Ghana
Fair enough!😄👏🏾
Pls react to fancy gadam song,Ego over u,nobody,m misami,ungrateful,injavery,latest one block and delet .pls in Ghana musician .

Cool... thanks for the help tho!👏🏾❤️🇬🇭
His real name is Kwaku Frimpong
Wow, had no idea😮... Thanks tho🥂❤️🇬🇭
Yeah that's his name. KWAKU FRIMPONG.
Oh really had no idea, thought it was like sheriff or something😄. Thanks for the help🥂❤️🇬🇭
Soja=soldier
Was confusing for me at first😄... thanks tho!🥂❤️🇬🇭
🇳🇬🇬🇭
GH to the world!👏🏾❤️🇬🇭
In Ghana soja, is soldier
Cool, thanks my bro!🥂❤️🇬🇭
It’s soldier in the Ghanaian language like Nigerians drop their language in some of your songs when Ghana does it it’s an issue. I like it when Nigerians drop their language I don’t have a problem with it at all. Like we say Yehowa as in Jehovah right ? Ok hope you got it!
Yh thanks I get it now😌🥂
His name is Kwaku Frimpong
Had no idea, thought it was sheriff or something😄🤭. Thanks tho🥂❤️🇬🇭
Yes in Ghana old folks pronounce it soja. Its still referring to the same soldier. I guess it'd one of the effects of British English we Africans trying to make it our own. 😄 🤣 😂
Yeah guess so too😄😄... big ups GH tho!👏🏾🇬🇭
That’s how Ghanaians pronounce Soldier (Soja man)
Oh, cos I was kinda confused right there😄... Thanks tho👏🏾❤️🇬🇭
The soja he's saying is in his native language.his name kwaku
So basically, Soja = Soldier😄👏🏾... cool, thanks tho❤️🥂🇬🇭
Soja is same as soldier
Thank you bro, cos I was really lost there😄🥂
He's just making it seem African
Guess so😄🥂
This season is a very dark one, hes refering to the anxiety for the cross-over of where he's coming from and where he's seeing himself
Now that sounds really DARK!😮💨
It’s play on words, soldier is pronounced Soja in Twi.
Yeah TWI😁🥂... knowing more about Ghana is cool🤭, big ups y’all🇬🇭
The way you Nigerians say coome😂😂😂 instead of come like the simple British way so soldier we too we can say soja
Fair enough, can’t lie the “coome” got me laughing😂😂😭
You are funny bro traveler turn soja
😂🥂
Same words just lake Nigeria aka 9ja or 9- geria, this is just a vocal letters for writing music, some as soldier
Yeah very well explained my bro, thanks!🥂❤️🇬🇭
Soja is street rendition of Soldier so he's using street language
Street language wow!😮👏🏾🇬🇭
@@DahcuteThankGod Yes
Pigy way of spelling
Oh sure😄
It's just Soldier-Soja in Ghana we have a way of saying words eg cry we can say clyyy like how you will say plier wood
Fair enough🥂... cos I was confused there for a sec😄
Clyy isn't true
best reaction
Preciate my bro!👏🏾❤️🇬🇭
