If you’ve been to any Nigerian event this summer, there’s one thing every event has had in common, from weddings to parties to carnivals. Its the song of the year “Yahooze”

If you haven’t heard it then I invite you to take a listen to the original

and the remix

There are 2 schools of thought on what the songs about. On one hand some claim that Olu Maintain (Olumide Adegbule of the Maintain Group) in this track was glorifying the now reknown wolrd of cybercrime perpetrated by youths and adults alike from west Africa (Nigeria in particlular), because of the phrase Yahoo Yahoo boys as they are often called.At the other end of the spectrum, the song describes the grandiose lifestyle of Nigerians ( if u’ve ever seen Nigerians spraying money at a party you’ll understand what I mean). When Nigerians party they party hard, Its good to see that with all the problems that beckons Nigeria Olu Maintain gives the country something to be happy for.

According to Olu Maintain “In the song, you heard me talking about a week-long activity that has to be ended in fun. A lot of people must have had misconceptions about the song but after working from Monday to Friday, there is a need for people to rest from Friday to Sunday. That is the gist of the song.”

For the dance watch this football celebration or this guys attempt and the best video so far the good people at Yahoo will appreciate

We look forward to seeing the official video for this hit that will be around for generations to come.

What are your thoughts, Is the song about enjoying life to the fullest Or is it glorifying 419ers. Let us know
