Ojuelegba is an area where he started his music career, and he was sharing his struggle story. But, the name of the area, Ojuelegba means "the center of Elegba." You are 100% correct, Elegba is a Yoruba deity. Some people, mostly South Americans, pronounce it as Elegua. I guess they worship Elegba deity in the area many years ago, and that's why they name the place, the center of Elegba (Ojuelegba)
yay so I wasn't completely wrong? 😅makes sense though it was his area he grew up in after realizing the bus had Ojuelegba written on it. The things that don't click the first time watching 🙈
You’ll enjoy sweet one by wizkid off his made in Lagos album. Also what’s even more hilarious is that this song was meant to celebrate his “peak” at that time, he’d reached the maximum for any Nigerian artist then. Little did he know it was only the beginning, makes the song a lot more special
i know im asking randomly but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
It's not just about the beat and voice but what the song represent for Africa, Nigeria, Lagos, Ojuelegba, WizkidFc and Wizkid himself... The song talks about his struggles as a beginner
Ojuelegba is the name of the suburb he grew up in Lagos. The song is a reminiscence of his humble beginning. BTW he was already a super star when he sang that song and had the likes of Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Drake, Beyonce et al really jiving to it. Basically the song is about Hope and Gratitude. ❤
This was the song that took him international ❤️❤️❤️❤️... But even before then... Right from Holla at your boy, Pakurumo, joy, DonDon etc... We in Nigeria knew he's special
I looovvee Today's wizkid.. but i looooovvveeeddd the former wizkid of those days even more😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.... Wizkid please we misssss these kinds of bangers😭😭❤️
You’ll appreciate this song better if you can understand the lyrics. This is relatively his biggest song. Drake had to jump on a remix with Skepta. Lovely reaction 🎈🎈
He explained how he suffered in ojuelegba with his friend siri, how they hustled. Now he has to thank God for what he has done for him and his family. The part where he took public transportation, to where he went to the studio , eating in the local restaurant and where he is having a good dinner. Etc.
The way I understood it this is the story of his life? I heard him say that in the song I think but it wasn't easy to understand, so you might have missed that and how people pray for blessings for a better life? Once you realize that and watch the video again the song takes on a whole new meaning. Good reaction!
yeah i always have to rewatch these deeper videos after i finish recording because I know there's always a bunch of stuff that I miss the first time around 🙈 it gets an 8 now 😜
@Rogue WizKid showed another dimension of his music here. He is always top notch. It a different variety and a potpourri of Calyso, light heavy metal and slightly jazzy. You can't be eating spaghetti Bolognese all the time my love, once in a while you have to eat some Joffof rice, fried plantain and grllled fish😊.Ojuelegba is my Jolloff rice anytime
Ojú Ẹlẹgba literally means "the eye of the whip holder". However you are dead right that it refers to the Ẹlẹ̀gba deity. Ẹlẹ̀gba diety is at times depicted to wield the whip - as a diety of the enforcement of karma or justice and stands at the "junctions" of the journey of life showing the wrong direction and what's right with it and the right direction and what's wrong with it. The place Ojú Ẹlẹgba in Lagos is actually a big intersection in Lagos.
@@samueladeniyi5688 Most welcome. Yes you'll note the pronunciation for Ẹlẹgba and Ẹlẹ̀gba are very slightly different, but for common root. Incidentally we don't have a "Devil" or "Satan" in Yorùbá belief system (even Èṣù is not that - Èṣù and Ẹlẹ̀gba are more or less interchangeable, but in different roles). The God (Elédùmarè) given human mind and consciousness is a very powerful thing indeed.
wizkid... starboy.... i miss the good old days when he wasn't starving us of his amazing music ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨... can't wait for his album... i miss wizkid 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🎈🎈🎈🎈
Ojuelegba is hood area in Lagos Nigeria. He started his music career there. i.e the way some America musician started their music carrier from Harlem or Queens New York
For me it's pretty clear. - Ojuelegba is one of the best songs ever made. - The best song in the entire Wizzy's discography. - It's an All-time classic now.
I had this song on heavy rotation in my car during my commute for two years! So catchy. Also had Tank and the Bangas “Spaceships” playing repeatedly during that time. Please do a reaction video to it. Thank you for having a pleasant way. I enjoy watching your reactions
As you rightly said Ojuelegba is in reference to the Yoruba pantheon Elegba. Ojuelegba is a T junction where “Esu elegba” is venerated. It’s a major commercial centre in the Mainland of Lagos. He grew up in that area.
Beautiful Sunday evening to y'all. Great reaction, RogueRxyce. You're really good at this. Keep on moving, gal. And a lovely birthday wishes to our celebrant, wishing you lots of love, balloons 🎈🎈 and cheers 🍻. Enjoy the ride.
Great Reaction. Please react to “Dangote” by Burna Boy😭🔥. The video also shows Nigerian lifestyle. I’m not a Nigerian, but the song and the video is an experience 🔥🔥🔥
Ojuelegba is a very poor neighborhood in the city of Lagos where poverty is rampant he was just telling the world their pain and that great people have made it through this ghetto and I love you and your reactions
Good job. Have you done anything 2Face Idibia. He's the ultimate GOAT of Nigerian music. He put us on the map (with P-Square). Pls check out 2Face Idibia (AKA 2baba)
- His growth? A1! - His newer songs? Trying but not up to par! - Rated at an 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 tho... If you got meanings to the Yoruba parts within the song,you might rate it higher. Side Note; I NEVER got those too,by the way.🤔 Also,when's your own b-day,Rxyce?😌

Ojulegeba is a classic.... Nigerians don’t play with this song ✍️
He is the best in Africa....Young legend...React to all his song....no dull moment....We love him...kudos from Gambia( west Africa)
trying to get to most his songs in the future
@@RogueRxyce wow that will be great..He is absolutely in different level...Star Boy Of Africa !!!
One Africa bro much love 🌍✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
In your opinion. For me he is not even in top two.
@@nzecollins1434 but he is good tho

OJUELEGBA actually means 'eyes of elegba (esu diety).. Oju = eyes in Yoruba
@@gregariouscontumaciousvoci9211 You are right, Oju literally means eye in Yoruba but in a contest, it could mean center or face. Like Ojubo, Ojude.

It's not just about the beat and voice but what the song represent for Africa, Nigeria, Lagos, Ojuelegba, WizkidFc and Wizkid himself...
The song talks about his struggles as a beginner
At the time this song was the best, it just goes to show how the Nigerian music industry has grown and how the artists have progressed individually.
yeah i'd say the industry has grown. i'll be looking into some older videos so I can really appreciate the transformation
Ojuelegba is the name of the suburb he grew up in Lagos. The song is a reminiscence of his humble beginning. BTW he was already a super star when he sang that song and had the likes of Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Drake, Beyonce et al really jiving to it. Basically the song is about Hope and Gratitude. ❤
Thanks for sharing that information!
after reading the translation of it, i may have to do the remix now that Drake hopped on!
Ojuelegba is not a suburb. Lol!
It's not a ghetto its not rough it's just an area with poor people trying to come up, the area is fun, it's alive and never sleeps
sounds like a place I want to go visit 😬
shut up it is rough
aka a ghetto LOL
Ojuelegba is the hood he grew up, he's being driven around Ojuelegba.
The song's is more of shout out to the hood he grew up.
🙌🏽
That is it. 👍👍👍
This was the song that took him international ❤️❤️❤️❤️... But even before then... Right from Holla at your boy, Pakurumo, joy, DonDon etc... We in Nigeria knew he's special
The song is forever a classic that can ever come out of AFRICA not only Nigeria....
He is the youngest Africa artist to ever blow in Africa history ❤❤❤we love him young legend 👑⭐⭐
🙌🏽
I looovvee Today's wizkid.. but i looooovvveeeddd the former wizkid of those days even more😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.... Wizkid please we misssss these kinds of bangers😭😭❤️

Deborah you are right....
Ojuelegba is the name of an area in Lagos... That's were Wizkid grew up, so he was shouting out to the people there...
yea but she’s right. elegba is a diety and ojuelegba means eyes of elegba the place is named after
Ojuelegba is kind of a ghetto/rough area of Lagos I believe , people there struggle a lot to make ends meet.
That where Wizkid is from also
Pretty much every part of Lago
You get it wrong..... My grandparents own estate in that area that worth millions... You can even afford to buy a house..... Talking rubbish
@@truthmatterbyoladada1462 there goes the rich. STFU man. You obviously don't know shit about struggle
Uleh Godstime Da Best not everyone..

🤣but i love spaghetti ... i agree though. gotta add some more musical foods to my diet 🤗
Waoh, you finally found this song. This song and "Jaiye Jaiye" are his greatest hits. So please react to "Jaiye Jaiye" by wiz kid. It's fire. 🎈🎈🎈
Jaiye is a monster of a song
adding Jaiye Jaiye to the list 😊
In the song, he featured the legendary Femi Kuti, son of Fela kuti (Afro beat King and pioneer), who is a beast on the saxophone.

The song is about his people suffering in the street of Ojuelebah... It a town he is from, it a place in Nigeria. It all about the bad government
This is probably his best song, at least it's my favorite!🇳🇬🔥
Rxyce your reaction is on point. It's almost as if your understand the Yoruba parts.🎈🎈🎈
