GONGO ASO

9ice

The latest Nigerian hit that is driving a lot of urban young people crazy around the world is GONGO ASO by 9ice. On YouTube there are several video versions and they are impressive too. In fact, if 9ice is not careful his fans may produce a better video a la YouTube. Methinks, 9ice should add subtitles to his video for the sake of crazy international fans who do not understand YORUBA language otherwise GONGO ASO…

What is the meaning of Gongo Aso? Normally, it is a phrase used when a person is angry to warn the enemy of future revenge but 9ice did not used it that way. He used it to prove his originality in the music industry and in support of the poor masses.

It was also used to support the ghetto youngsters in order to show how they intend to hit stardom if given the opportunity. Because of the initial meaning of GONGO ASO it was only normal for people to want to listen to the song and after hearing the powerful lyrics like ‘I’m a ghetto soldier, khaki no be leather’ and yarn for more.

His poetic message was charismatic and encouraging e.g.
Life is too short/
You Know ooo/
Nobody knows tomorrow/
Dance away your sorrow/
Do like no tomorrow.

Yes, that was 9ice…On YouTube the best GONGO ASO dancer is a girl called ‘Tipsyslim’ and probably too young for that type of sexy dance. Underage drinking is against the law and YouTube should not encourage it. It was in bad taste. I am strongly in favour of internet regulation. Mothers should check YouTube at least once a month, are you laughing? Only God knows whose daughter she is but if she intends to take dancing as a career she will excel…

Update: The offending part of the video is longer on YouTube. Was it edited?
