The controversial Senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, made a surprise performance at a comedy show organised by comedian, AY, tagged AY-Live, on Sunday.
During the event which was held at Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos, Mr Melaye was approached by AY, to sing one of the popular songs the lawmaker uses to mock his political enemies.
Mr Melaye took the microphone and thrilled the audience with a remix of his popular Yoruba song ‘Ajeku iya ni o je’.
Rather than the usual genre with which he sang the original song, the senator performed the choral rendition of the remix.
His performance got him applause from the crowd who were laughing all through his funny musical ‘interlude’.
Below is the video as posted on the yet-to-be verified twitter handle of the senator:
The words of the song goes:
Ajeku iya ni o je,
Ajeku iya ni o je,
Eni ti o t’oni na, to nd’ena deni;
Ajeku iya ni o je.
It is directly translated to mean:
You’ll receive the beating of your life,
You’ll receive the beating of your life,
When you ambush a man who’s more powerful than you;
You’ll receive the beating of your life
The organiser, AY, who probably intended to make fun of Dino Melaye retorted after the senators choral performance: ‘Dino to cook you go hard o!’, implying that the senator was not easy to handle.
