   As far as I am concerned He is doing everything together. ”Hammer” means when you win money or u successfully dupe someone on the internet or anywhere, We should remember he said ‘1m dollars, Elo lomaje tim be se si naira’

   Do we spend dollars in nigeria? or does an average niger man get paid in dollars? But yahoo deals is measured in dollars as majority of the ”maggers” are US targets.

   The song is not bad as per rythm but when its per lyrics, its not worth the best song of the year.

   Nigerian artists are very talented but i can’t believe that some are getting away with songs that are not making sense at all,hence promoting evil than good,and PMAN is not doing anything about it.lets not deceive ourselves.Like other songs,”yahooze” is rhythmically a HIT,but lyrically promoting evil (also songs like “tongolo”,”bang bang bang!”,”konga”,etc).Music should glorify anything that is good,not evil.

   Olu is out for real and i dont think anybody can slow him down right now……..cant just stop the shining,shine on bro…….. verybody wants to hammer.. meaning..make money.. and first thing na hummer, thats the way Olu chooses to spend his dollars……….. and big money around world is measure in dollars…………. so let the man of the moment be…………. got yahoozeeeeeeeeeeeeeee as my ring tone…

   Forget all the 419 crap talk and enjoy the beatzzzzzzzzzzzz.

   Whooooooh Haaaaaaaah! This song is HOT.
7. Miss T. 19.09.07 / 4pm

   Guys I dont think maintain’s song has anything to do with 419 or yahooyahoo or whatever you called it. Maintain is just trying to display his talent. Maintain abeg go on soun, this is your time. Always proud of you.
8. yinka 19.09.07 / 9pm

   it should have been banned long time ago. it shows how irresponsible so many people in neigeria are. very irresponsible and never ever sensitive to so many things. why wud normal and civilised people want to praise a song that actually encourages fraud ?

   men,the song na baba
10. Dexter 24.09.07 / 5pm

    Na wa o! This song has been causing ripples either negative or otherwise. Come to think of it guys, except we want to deceive ourselves (and I believe Nigerians are no Americans to be fooled by a lyrical OJ. Simpson) this song is passing the wrong message across.

    Its something to acknowledge Yahoo!ing exists in naija and its a little bit more profane to dedicate a hit track called Yahooze! to it!

    I love Olu (infact that’s my name too) but i think ‘bi ommode ba korin ti o da, o ye ka ba soro’.

    Olu, go back to the drawing board and sing something more matured.

    I think Its hightime nigerians stop its black or white description. When its black lets say its so and when its white lets do so as well.
    Lets tell this young man that he has a good rythm but wrong lyrics simple!
    I only hope he gets to see this, I recomend a new remix for the song with a newer perspective of yahoo as a word if he must ever use the word ”yahoo”.
12. kings 26.09.07 / 8pm

    this guys are artiste, just like gangster rappers, that will glorify anything to sell record, i quite enjoy this uplifting song, so try to ignore anything it portrays, that is life.
13. KAM 27.09.07 / 4am

    But questioning guys calling for the head of Olu. Why people for god sake can’t use their imagination and give kudos to this guy. Olu ride on, the melody and what it entails really trilled the guys over here in the staets. I wish you more of yahooze. This shouldn’t change the act of an individual, rather the music stands for enjoyment
14. johnson Afolayan 27.09.07 / 1pm

    the song is really the bumb, the song is danceable.it cool.i dont think it has anything to do with the internet frausters left to me alone.come to think of it,the government alongside EFCC,are suppose to look for strategic ways to curb internet fraudster to the minimum level,rather then critisizing a song done by OLU MAINTAIN.YAHOOZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is just a song which is accepted by the public.
15. Ben 28.09.07 / 3pm

    yahooze,yahooze..uuhm.It’s a good song ,but it doesn’t send any good message to the listening audience.This goes a long way to show how some Nigerians glorify fraud in the name of making money.It’s so sad and shameful.
    I live in london,a society where some insolent and lazy Nigerians see fraud[popularly called ODU]as a normal way of life,or a lucrative mean of livelihood.
16. Segun Jamgbadi 06.10.07 / 4am

    How long can we allow ourselves to be drawn by some manipulating characters into the practise of splitting strands of hair in a bid to deny the undeniable. Is Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua the President of Nigeria ? We could as well start a debate on this topic. We can forgive Olu Maintain if he says he is not smart enough to know what his song implies or glorifies. But can we forgive ourselves for being tossed around by self confessed confusionists. The song Yahoozee is a resounding glorification of the Advance Fee Fraud aka 419 and if Olu Maintain and anyone else for that matter thinks otherwise then what can we do but surrender their reasoning to the jugdement of probity. But I must confess the song has great rhythm and this debate is good business especially in these days of big money in PR and brand communication.
17. Usman Isa 06.10.07 / 6am

    Ofcourse the song is an absolute glorification of the internet scam being perpetrated by most of our youths today…this can be inferred clearly from the lyrics. Sincerely speaking the song is the bomb rythmically, I mean you just can’t help it than to move your body to the rythms…If u ask Olu he will simply tell u its part of creativity. But personally I think he ought to have sang about something that impacts positively on our youths rather than encourage them into cyber crime
18. tola 06.10.07 / 9am

    the guy is crazy i like ham just listen to the beats but until they unite together and become maintain again i think they won`t sing better the too of them
19. Uchenna 06.10.07 / 10pm

    Well whether Nkem Owoh had another thing in mind while composing his music the truth is that from the lyrics he is automatically showering praise to those that breach section 419. Though technically it could be said that Mr Owoh did not shower any praise as he never called fraudsters but just called 419 as it may be argued that 419 is never a name of a criminal neither it is a name of crime. Even though it is a section that establishes advanced fee fraud there are still other 419s for example if one is counting fron no1,one must definitely get to 419 which may not mean advanced fee fraud. Or in numbering of students in examination halls there maybe 419 etc. But Morally when Nkem Owoh talked of 419 following with I go chop your dollar, one is left with no other conclusion other than he is talking about cheating and not only that but encouraging it.
20. Dexter 07.10.07 / 11am

    Uchenna! Haba! Look before you leap na! Where the hell did you see anything about Nkem Owoh on this blog? Abeg Nna hen, just try ‘maintain’ what this gist is all about. Well maybe u dreamt about dollars before you wrote this piece but seriously man…you almost freaked me out with your version of the story; maybe its ur way of saying that Nkem Owoh’s middle name is ‘Olu’ (lol).
    Hope to see u correct this mistake orelse….
21. Ufuoma 09.10.07 / 4pm

    Well, what can I say? It’s music, u either luv it or hate it. Full Stop.
    The guy who sang it knows what he means, what we the listeners interpret it to be is entirely up to us.
    As 4 me, I think the tune is HEAVY!!!
22. Don#1 14.10.07 / 9am

    The tune is big and it’s obviously a fun song for the parries (yes, parries).
    I personally think, however, that everyone (even those that deny it) know the song is rooted in the 419 situation.

    Let’s look at the evidence:

    Boys who do fraud are known by the name YahooYahoo Boys and so by no coincidence the song is called Yahooze.

    “America la tin pa owo” is what the song says, meaning we make our money in America. It is well known, that the YY Boys mainly dupe Americans.

    “Timba Hammer” (If I Hammer) can also be a reference to the way YY Boys make their money. The aim is send out the email to lots of people and wait for a sucker to respond positively i.e. you’ve got a hit, or you’ve hammered.

    It is also known that YY Boys don’t make their money, then live a quiet lifestyle and invest in US Treasury Bonds. (well if they did, I suppose we wouldn’t know, lol) They spend lavishly and have fun. So in effect pertaining to both sides of this argument.

    In conclusion, it is rooted in 419, the evidence is more than enough. Only those that are in denial will try and say otherwise. However, what Olu Maintain has CLEVERLY done is make it very clear, but also ambiguous enough to get everyone talking. Artists have done this many times, he’s not the first, he’s just done it very well. D’Angelo’s “Brown Sugar” was clearly talking about Marijuana but he left it ambiguous enough that most ppl don’t realise and think it really is a woman. Well done Olu for actually putting some thought in, and being clever. On the other hand, please be responsible with the things you talk about, and de facto promote.
23. Richard Uchay-Uzor 18.10.07 / 8am

    I would want us to treat this issue with loads of intelligency and maturity, Yahooze is a song like everyother songs..”I’m a hustler” by fabulous is one of the most frequently listened songs in the State, n the whites love it…you see, the problem wit we Nigerians is that, we find it very difficult to accept anything that belongs to us because of our backwardness in thinking,ideas and way of life forgeting the fact that one mans meat could be another mans poison.most of us need to go back to school to learn civilization and forget our cave men / slavery mentality which still runs in our blood…if it was a white mans song, i believe it would have gotten so many grammy’s and awards just like the way the songs from artists like 50cent, tupac, bennie man,snoop dogg e.t.c. who do more of the gangstar / weed moking thing got….n i believe those people talkin ill about the yahooze song, dance, enjoy and even have copies of these songs i just mentioned…but just because of the fact that a Nigerian did yahooze,then it is bad..Let me tell you something, the reason why America and other country are being celeberated today isnt because they’re white, it’s because they taught themselves how to celebrate themselves. this is why every American is proud of themselves and thier root no matter what the situaion might be..i’d say, “nobody would ever celeberate us more than the way we celeberate ourselves”..come to tink of it, why do we have to relate the song Yahooze to the predicament on ground? why not instead of pushing the lyrics of this song to the negative part, we push it to the possitive part. Millions of nigerians non nigerians do legal business on line and get millions of money and of course you know dollar is an international accepted currency..why then not put the lyrics like this….TI éM BA HAMMER “this is nigerian english which could also mean “if i work legally and get paid..” FIRST THING NA HUMMER “this is also a nigerian english which means first i’d buy a hummer” which i tink is his own way of wanting to spend the money e.t.c the song talks about socialization after work that’s why you have stanzas like “MONDAY,TUESDAY,WEDNESSDAY, THURSDAY, BOYS DEY HUSTLE, FRRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, GBOGBO AYE” this simply means monday, tuesday,wednessday,thursday, we as cooperate / business e.t.c nigerians work, then friday,saturday, sunday, which are weekend…we party, have fun, relax, like we all do…the white man said “all work and no play, makes jack a dull boy” this stanza xplains in full detail what that sayin means….i could continue for ever…but then, the story line is, let’s stop criticizing our own, let’s learn to celebrate ourselves, instead of talking ill about what we have, let’s learn to advertise them positively.we need to be creative at all times.it is not good that a nigerian creates sumthing that could top the world, and instead of having the support of his people on it, they just go about doing damages on them. it will lead us no where. even if you think it’s messed up,you don’t have to go about messing it up. instead, redifine it in ur own possitive way and then advertise. this way, the world would love and celebrate it because you and i as a nation celebrated it…what makes america and other great states is thier ability to be creative…let us all follow that part and we’ll rule the world….YAHOOZE!!
24. 'assassin' 26.10.07 / 6am

    In my own opinion i think the yahooze song was simply born of a desire to make good music. We can argue that the lifestyle; (by lifestyle i dont just mean the life people live; its inclusive of language, particularly the now-common yoruba-english slanging of words* if u know wat dat means) infused with his desire to make music. I would have said that he didnt even think about what the adjudged message could become; no!..maybe at some point he did; but the hype the song was getting was enough to overlook the thoughts….all in all he song in my own opinion does not or is not intended to celebrate ‘yahoo-yahoo’..rather to picture having wealth and livin d life..
25. Luigi 14.03.08 / 9am

    al i can say is dat we al know how it is in 9ja, n dat most 9ja men, guys whatever like saying things dey don’t know even a bit meaning maintain is just blabbing or even if he know den he has had an experience. 1love
26. adewale 13.07.08 / 3pm

    There is no need for critcizm, yahoo is just like 50 cents i got money, am a hustler, and all other american rap musics,.. lets learn to appreciate ourselves and be civilized
