Growing up in Makurdi early 80s my Igbo neighbor would play this song back to back ad nauseum. Can't believe I'm doing the same now that I understand the lyrics of the song❤😊

Is Better To Be Alone Than To Be With Fake Friends. You Only Live Once. I Love This Song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. It Teaches Alot.
I am a Cameroonian who grew up in an environment where there were many ibos. Just love this music because it reminds of my childhood and the rhythm is very interesting. I always play and watch this music any time I am bored to get some relief. I wish I could get the lyrics of the song in English
It reminds me of my little boy days, my dad's music those days! Very interesting to get to know the real meaning of this sweet and educative music. God bless Mike Ejeagha, Brainjotar and Bless My Dad's Soul 🙏
Anyway above all brain Jotter have to be appreciated too for bringing this song on board Again to relate the past culture music systems and the present culture, big up, From UG🇺🇬
From south Africa love the song and the dance and the happy chasing it's all so fun..I can now sing the song but understand zero what it says there is an English translation for the song right here
Am Yusuf Garba from Kano state, I love the song despite the fact that am not understanding what he's saying,at the same time the way he was remembered, and if our celebrities emulated such,it will go along way. Thanks 🙏
vraiment ce vieux la doit bénir le jeune tiktokeur qui a fait revivre sa vieille chanson car grâce à lui ce son devenu un tube. je suis ivoirien vivant en cote d'ivoire je vous jure que le son ci joue partout dans mon pays. comme quoi dans la vie faut jamais perdre espoir. longue vie l'artiste.
Same here. My Dad at the cool of the evening would just lean on his AGA Chair and be shaking his legs in pleasure of this music. Those days seem like 200 years ago. Things have really changed !!!!
Song with deep meaning.Lessons in this music: 1 Parents gather your children, let them air views, from there you'll know the pressing need of each,ie democracy in the family.2 Never you put full trust on friend. They might betray you.3 Women need humility and respect, so that they'll get suitors for marriage in time.4 Wisdom/intelligent is greater than brave.That is what the two major characters Elephant and Tortoise displayed.So many other lessons in this song.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
That's nice☺️I don't know who came up with this nonsense of borders..... Now we can't visit our African brothers and share our different cultures...... Yesssesss
Hello, I read from your comment that you Can understand the langage. Can you please transcribe What the singer is saying? Even though I don't understand I Can feel that this song is deep. Thank you in advance.
I like this song even without understanding the lyrics. Wish someone could explain the meaning of this song to me. Everytime someone comes to like this comment, i will always be coming to listen to this song.
Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo: A Dance Of Deception (A tortoise and an elephant) Listen to the story line. There was a bet from a King that anybody that brings an Elephant to Him would marry the King's Daughter. Bringing the Elephant was no mean feat. This made other animals to shy away and saw the demand as a tall order. The Tortoise in its crafty and deceptive nature went and told Elephant lies. Lies too pleasant, the Elephant could not but fall for it. What was the lie? That King wants to make the Elephant the Chairman of its Ofala celebration. Ofala celebration is an elaborate celebration of festivity. It sounded too prestigious an offer to be the Chairman of such a festival. On the appointed day, the Tortoise went to the Elephant. The Elephant got ready, and they set out on the journey. At a point, the elephant got angry over the Tortoise' snail paced movement and feared they would miss the festival. So when the Tortoise requested that it sat on the Elephant's back to facilitate their movement, the Elephant didn't hesitate. While on the Elephant's back it requested the Elephant to allow it to tie a rope around its neck for stability. The elephant allowed it, being too obsessed to be the chairman of the Ofala, anything that would be an obstacle to it must be dealt with. As they got close to the kings' palace, the tortoise raised his voice and sang Nnam eze akpatam enyi, Nnam eze akpatam enyi. ( My King, I have brought the Elephant) Nwa mbe isi na ikpata onye, Nwa mbe isi na ikpata onye. ( Small Tortoise: Who did you say you have brought? The Elephant queried) Asim ana ya chebe enyi dube enyi, odikam si na akpatam enyi. ( I said let the earth protect and guide the elephant. Did I say I have brought an Elephant?) Asim ana ya chebe enyi dube enyi, odikam si na akpatam enyi.( I said let the earth protect and guide the elephant. Did I say I have brought Elephant ?) Okwa enyi ga abu isi oche, okwa enyi ga abu isi oche. (Is it not the Elephant that will be the chairman?) Enyi na aga ayi so gi na azu gwo gwo gwo ngwo ( Elephant continue to go we are behind you, gwo gwo gwo ngwo) (Gwo gwo gwo ngwo represents the footsteps of an elephant, which is the chorus of the song).
Listening from Congo. I have no idea what he is saying but I like the song. What a genius. Pure like Mozart

Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo: A Dance Of Deception (A tortoise and an elephant)

While on the Elephant's back it requested the Elephant to allow it to tie a rope around its neck for stability.
The elephant allowed it, being too obsessed to be the chairman of the Ofala, anything that would be an obstacle to it must be dealt with.
As they got close to the kings' palace, the tortoise raised his voice and sang
Nnam eze akpatam enyi, Nnam eze akpatam enyi.
( My King, I have brought the Elephant)
Nwa mbe isi na ikpata onye, Nwa mbe isi na ikpata onye.
( Small Tortoise: Who did you say you have brought? The Elephant queried)
Asim ana ya chebe enyi dube enyi, odikam si na akpatam enyi.
( I said let the earth protect and guide the elephant. Did I say I have brought an Elephant?)
Asim ana ya chebe enyi dube enyi, odikam si na akpatam enyi.( I said let the earth protect and guide the elephant. Did I say I have brought Elephant ?)
Okwa enyi ga abu isi oche, okwa enyi ga abu isi oche.
(Is it not the Elephant that will be the chairman?)
Enyi na aga ayi so gi na azu
gwo gwo gwo ngwo ( Elephant continue to go we are behind you, gwo gwo gwo ngwo)
(Gwo gwo gwo ngwo represents the footsteps of an elephant, which is the chorus of the song).
It's basically talking about being careful to not be deceived
Using a story of how a tortoise deceived an elephant
