Vice-President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday asked people to flaunt their success.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Osinbajo represented President Muhammadu Buhari as the Special Guest of Honour at the United Nations (UN) World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) in Lagos.
At the event, he joined UNWTO top executives, officials, and experts led by the Secretary-General; Zurab Pololikashvili to highlight Nigeria’s assets in the areas of tourism, culture, and the creative industry.
While speaking to the audience, Osinbajo danced and sang Kizz Daniel’s hit song ‘Buga’.
“Music, for example, as we all know, is a global language. Even though people don’t know the meaning of the words of a song, they enjoy the rhythm, and some find out the meaning of lyrics discovering the cultures and ideas that inspire them,” Osinbajo said.
“But let me just test that theory of mine, that is, that you don’t need to understand the words of any song to enjoy it and to be able to sing it, and that music is indeed a very global language. How many people know this song?”
The vice-president then started a rendition of ‘Buga’, which drew cheers from the audience.
Encouraging the attendants to accompany the song with its dance, the vice president said, “You know that your ‘buga’ has to be a real ‘buga’.”
‘Buga won’ is a Yoruba expression for ‘flaunt your hard-won success’.
