Here is the English meaning and translation, to the Mmege Mmege song, by Flavour Nabania (Onye le lima!); featuring Selebobo (pond the beat). The audio and beats were produced by Selebobo, of course; and the video was directed by Clarence Peters, the award winning, hit-videos-producer; the son of the legendary Yoruba JuJu singer- Sir Shina Peters; and popular Yoruba Nollywood Actress- Clarion Chukwura. Enjoy the it.
NOTE: The word ‘Mmege’, though, it’s much of a slang, it is an Igbo word that signifies ‘pretty, beautiful, young lady’.
