Zoro Ft. Phyno- Achikolo (ENGLISH MEANING, TRANSLATION, LYRICS)

Here is the long post, on the Lyrics English Translation and Meaning to the song ‘Achikolo’, by Zoro, featuring rap star ‘Phyno’.  Zoro decided to jab our minds back to the good old days; asking if you participate in many popular kids’ plays back then, when there were no modern electronic gadgets like PlayStation, GameBox, and the likes. Enjoy the song; produced by Kezyklef. You can follow Zoro on Instagram and Twitter @Zoroswagbag.

NOTE: According to Update360ng, the word ‘Achikolo’ doesn’t seem to have a specific meaning, other than being a ‘Chant’ used in olden day’s traditional songs.
