If you’re watching this in the year 2050, this was written thirty years ago by one of the greatest bloodline that walked this earth, we are igbo’s, we’re the touch bearers of exceptional greatness’ we’re pure light 💡...EbubedikE

Alice Effiong now if only Nigerians abroad will reach their kids their language (especially Igbos) and Igbos within the country can speak their language and stop giving their kids English names with no meaning.
Gertrude Ig yes omg my kids know both language and have. youba igbo names my kids will know were they ftom its sad most africans come to the U.S and forget all traditions and cultures
I've decided to be Igbo in my next life!!!! This song moves my soul soo much, very rich stuff, beautiful culture, beautiful people... The list is endless!! Lmaooo, is it even legal for a culture to be this rich?!! Wooooow I'm in awe!!

Igbo Amaka. They wrongly say Igbo's are proud but they do not understand there is a difference between confidence and pride. An average Igbo man is very confident no matter what. Too much talent in this music
I took a ethnicity DNA test and it says I am Nigerian. A Nigerian said I am Igbo. They may be correct because I just heard this song for the first time and it had me up dancing in my bedroom at 3 in the morning.
Igbo musical instruments are not ordinary, it must have come from gods, looking at the various kinds of instruments like Udu, ojaa, ogho (nnyo), Ogene, Iddii, Ekwe, Une e.t.c when all this instruments comes together it produces heavenly sound that cannot be heard anywhere else in the whole world, IT'S NOT ORDINARY (Igbo Amaka)
Born in America I'm in the same mixture boat mixed with Cameroon, Congo, Bantu, Nigerian, and Ghana 60%. Now I know my bloodline I've decided to go to the MOTHERLAND to be my final resting place. I'm in love with an Igbo handsome Nigerian man. Hoping to be his wifey. I Must send a spiritual message to my ancestors to let them know that I made it back home to Africa for good. Yes, AFRICA MATTERS!

Igbo masquerades are a true spiritual force. I can't forget my younger days in Nigeria - these masquerades used to scare the shit out of me. My mother used to have a tailor shop in Onitsha, and anytime the masquerades went past, I would find somewhere to hide.
yes ijele the masqueredes was originally intended to intimidate and scare away the early missionaries as well as celebrate royalty and greatness in Igboland
Am I the only one that thinks I can speak" Igbo"?? These Nigerian brotha's are taking over... I'm in America saying I understand you my brotha, for some strange reason...
Here's the Igbo lyrics part for non-Igbo speakers and theEnglish interpretation. I hope you enjoy it and get to understand the song more.

If you are not Igbo and this song touches some deep ancestral chords in you, just imagine how much deeper the feeling will be if you were raised in Igboland and thus could understand the song and its deep nuances. BTW, I want to commend Zoro particularly - this guy's lyrics are DEEP and powerful and thoroughly reflect a classical Igbo upbringing -- those words are forged in the powerful fires of Igbo culture. He is not just rapping in Igbo; he is delivering masterpieces that the English language just will never be able to do any justice. I mean, I can rewind his lyrics in many songs and listen to them over and over---powerfully crafted, powerfully delivered as these words grow wings and fly to the depths of every Igbo heart. In a nutshell, this song is a clarion call to action--it is a call summoning the brave and the courageous to rise and march forth to ACTION!
Me also!! I love this song...( my guy is " IGBO")... AA( Nigerian descent) slowly but surely I will learn the language... When my babe compliments me on my studies I say, " Daalu'( he laughs). And if he asked me if I want something I say Biko'😉( baby steps...
am speechless in this video because Igbo culture is sweet no culture like dat in d hole world am proud to be an Igbo man God tank you for making me an Igbo
Makes me want to cry happy tears. Although I dont really know much about my culture I love it. I wish I knew about my family. All i know is they came from Nigeria n Ghana . Smh. Beautiful culture and people
beloved blood sister. if You are African American, you have a high chance of being an Igbo. Your Ghanaian side might be Ewe ( a lot of Ewes were taken to the USA) but you have to choose one. AFRICA is too big to claim all.
This is one of the powerful song new generation African singer has ever sung since many decades... I really don't understand anything about it but there's something deep I feel when Flavour starts singing the chorus. Respect NIGERIAN people. 👊🏾
my name is chizi supporting and congratulating my people the great Igbo tribe all the way from Germany,i love you all and please keep it up let the world no that we are here because we have always been here,once again thanks to you all it's perfect
I don't understand a single word being said, however just seeing the Igbo culture shown in this video is truly beautiful. Wouldn't trade being African for the world! Plus Flavour & Phyno together in a video = everything. Both so fine!
This song is him portraying his prowess and coming of age. It's says who did this thing that is being noised abroad or that am hearing about ( in reference maybe to his Fame or Fame) let's go let's go , the bird in the stream it's time for the dance ( remember in Igbo culture dance can signify a fierce competition) so it telling the bird which is actually maybe a rival to come out , and face the dance . Then it says the beautiful woman should dance and if she dances well he will kill a goat for her. Then it says when something happens suddenly that's when you know a real man ( in emergency you know a real man ) then it says bicycle without brake runs very fast. Which I believe is a proverb like saying without hiccups you move faster and smoothly ( which can be a good thing or a bad thing because if you have no check ups from loved ones or family you might just keep going fast without caution). Then it says let's go let's go any where we come things start happening, it's not easy , then it's says give me chance, if you touch me I will cut open your head, whose son are you and how much do you even have or are you richer than me , if you challenge me I will break your head. That's all I remember etc. It's a song showcasing warriorhood and prowess, the might among the mightiest. I think he believes he is coming into his own and defining his place as IJELE AND A WARRIOR.
@@daughterofzionyesha4850 It means ...."use knife to cut your head".. He simply said imetu m' aka(if you touch me), nnwelu meeh helewu ishi(I will use knife to cut your head). He spoke it in my dialect

mekus21 thanks
mekus21 you did a good job trying to interpret it but most aspects of the song is figurative and can't be taken as it is said.
mekus21 you did an excellent job of literal translation but the meaning and figurative meaning is lost in your translation
Thank you for the understanding of this video
Daalu, I'm learning igbo, thanks for the translation.
Im a Ghanaian and I think I will invite Flavour on my Wedding Day
Igbo song is where you hear drums, ogene, ekwe, idi, onyo and oja talk to your delight
IT'S OUR (IGBO) TRADITION TO PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE...
Even if youre not an igbo man not even a Nigerian this song moves you

Man pc am not everywhere nna I'm everywhere there's Igbo songs..
+eze-anayoayor nke izizi 🙌👌
If you are not Igbo and this song touches some deep ancestral chords in you, just imagine how much deeper the feeling will be if you were raised in Igboland and thus could understand the song and its deep nuances.
BTW, I want to commend Zoro particularly - this guy's lyrics are DEEP and powerful and thoroughly reflect a classical Igbo upbringing -- those words are forged in the powerful fires of Igbo culture. He is not just rapping in Igbo; he is delivering masterpieces that the English language just will never be able to do any justice. I mean, I can rewind his lyrics in many songs and listen to them over and over---powerfully crafted, powerfully delivered as these words grow wings and fly to the depths of every Igbo heart.
In a nutshell, this song is a clarion call to action--it is a call summoning the brave and the courageous to rise and march forth to ACTION!
Iswr
Am from The Gambia a Fulani, but thus song is make me dance for my wife a Jahanka women 😂😂😂❤
Me also!! I love this song...( my guy is " IGBO")... AA( Nigerian descent) slowly but surely I will learn the language... When my babe compliments me on my studies I say, " Daalu'( he laughs). And if he asked me if I want something I say Biko'😉( baby steps...

Igbo Amaka! I couldn't be prouder to be an Igbo extract!

A Dinka from south Sudan dancing this Igbo dance in my living room
We are one people ..One love One Africa ...long live our beautiful cultures
Waooo great igbo people, may God always keep us going in Jesus name amen
Makes me want to cry happy tears. Although I dont really know much about my culture I love it. I wish I knew about my family. All i know is they came from Nigeria n Ghana . Smh. Beautiful culture and people
@@King-vv9rf please do teach me
Wow. You are welcome ma. We love you too
beloved blood sister. if You are African American, you have a high chance of being an Igbo. Your Ghanaian side might be Ewe ( a lot of Ewes were taken to the USA) but you have to choose one. AFRICA is too big to claim all.
I'm tochi. I can help sis. Instagram to__chi
You're an Igbo woman.
Pure, undiluted Igbo Jamz...
Thank you guys for not forgetting the Ogene sound of traditional Igbo music.
Xo Xo Xo!
my man is yoruba but im definitely feelin Igbo Flavour is the bomb!
This is one of the powerful song new generation African singer has ever sung since many decades... I really don't understand anything about it but there's something deep I feel when Flavour starts singing the chorus. Respect NIGERIAN people. 👊🏾
my name is chizi supporting and congratulating my people the great Igbo tribe all the way from Germany,i love you all and please keep it up let the world no that we are here because we have always been here,once again thanks to you all it's perfect
I don't know what they saying but I listened to this song on the way to a Nigerian wedding and now I am convinced I'm from there. Love it!
My soul told me that I'm igbo💃🤗🥰💝💪🇺🇲🇱🇷🇳🇬
If the song moves you then you are Igbo no doubt
Listen to eriwa by Ruffcoin
Proudly Igbo woman over here 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Loveeeeeeeeeeeee this video and song.
I don't understand a single word being said, however just seeing the Igbo culture shown in this video is truly beautiful. Wouldn't trade being African for the world! Plus Flavour & Phyno together in a video = everything. Both so fine!
ItsASheThIngTV I agree ..
I cant I understand the word..
but this is the beat I drive too
first line: brother, we are matching on!
who did something/took action in Abia?
Goooooo on! Goooo on!
Goooooo on! Goooo on!
✨I'm not speak Igbo but I'm really like this song hooo🔥✌❤
This song is him portraying his prowess and coming of age. It's says who did this thing that is being noised abroad or that am hearing about ( in reference maybe to his Fame or Fame) let's go let's go , the bird in the stream it's time for the dance ( remember in Igbo culture dance can signify a fierce competition) so it telling the bird which is actually maybe a rival to come out , and face the dance . Then it says the beautiful woman should dance and if she dances well he will kill a goat for her. Then it says when something happens suddenly that's when you know a real man ( in emergency you know a real man ) then it says bicycle without brake runs very fast. Which I believe is a proverb like saying without hiccups you move faster and smoothly ( which can be a good thing or a bad thing because if you have no check ups from loved ones or family you might just keep going fast without caution). Then it says let's go let's go any where we come things start happening, it's not easy , then it's says give me chance, if you touch me I will cut open your head, whose son are you and how much do you even have or are you richer than me , if you challenge me I will break your head. That's all I remember etc. It's a song showcasing warriorhood and prowess, the might among the mightiest. I think he believes he is coming into his own and defining his place as IJELE AND A WARRIOR.
If you understand that Ogene sound, the leading sound if it really moves you then your a true blood.
Even non-igbos like me can relate...the vibe is too much, so refreshing
I don't know about the DAY test ,it's moves me even I'm not a Igbo
Idk what my DNA results say I am Igbo. My heart beat changes instantaneously!
the song beats with the heart and the blood in the veins runs as smooth as
Zoro's rap is one of best rhymes i have seen in Naija music
woo super
Exactly
This song is too emotional... Only the Igbo man will understand
O bu onye mere ife n' ada?? I ❤️ this music! IGBO FOREVER AND EVER BIAFRA WILL RISE AGAIN!
The dialect gets me especially the 'mma ghewe gi ishi'. Proud to be ada Igbo.
I dont even know what it means and dats my favorite part too!!! In ATL...late af but... Dis my shit... Nigerian decent.
@@daughterofzionyesha4850 It means ...."use knife to cut your head"..
He simply said imetu m' aka(if you touch me), nnwelu meeh helewu ishi(I will use knife to cut your head). He spoke it in my dialect
Thank you. I take that as fight for your life... Take no DISRESPECT! I BELIEVE IT. I RECEIVE IT. LOLOO. OH YES. THANKCHU MY SISTA. I LOVE IT. IBBBGEEEEEEE! AMEKA. BLESSIBGS AND FREEDOM. On Yashuas Name.
@@daughterofzionyesha4850 kinda Similar... 😉
That line translates to, "if you touch me, I'll cut off your head with this knife. Who are you?"
One of the best traditional videos ever seen..
proud to be igbo. flavour my brother continue to represent
I so much love Igbo tradition and their vibe
This is a powerful visual. You dont have to be Igbo to love it. You only have to be a culture and art enthusiast
