I just thought of something,

Kandiikane or mukina please clarify this for me.

I see on the above list "Suegbe" is on there.
Didn't Emmerson have a song with a similar word in it called "Swegbe"? (sp??)
does it mean the same thing? (as in 'fo0l')
Re: Other Names For A Fool In Yoruba by kandiikane(m): 6:50pm On Sep 15, 2012
It doesn't mean fool(looking at the context it's used in)

someone who is called a swegbe usually means someone wey get suwe(swear) as in cursed. It's hard to explain the exact meaning but that's basically it. When emmerson used it' he was insulting the politicians and people who were keeping the country behind with their suwe.
