Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo Still Waned!!
By Dr Jarlath Uche Opara
Nothing is crafted to reign forever. Nothing forever would be at the centre of appreciation and attraction. Though certain things may appear to be all over the space, gaining mileages of tractions, becoming talking points, one would probably think they are engraved already in the anatomy of uncensored, unseasoned circle of trending.
Nah! Nothing is permanent, everything is in the state of flux says Heraclitus of Ephesus.
Such is life and nothing changes it. Change! The pillar of life principles. Nothing reigns forever, however good it seems
I nearly thought gwo gwo gwo ngwo was that forever trending vibe and lyrics. The way it trended was phenomenally utsnamic. Every lips professed it. Every leg danced it. Every waist wriggled to it. Even my piece Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo: A Dance Of Deception was widely plagiarised too. Everybody wanted to be in the space of gwo gwo ngwo by fire and by force.
His home turned a prigrmage center. Everyone wanted to identify with the nonagenarian. All that is waned, people have moved, chasing for the dawn of another trending thing to excite them. All that euphoria is gone!
That is human nature! Fickle, unsteady with an emotion that swings.
I have seen all manner of phones, they trended and fizzled. I have equally seen plenty brands of cars, they trended and phased out.
Fashions in their brand and classic fabrics I have seen. On the stage of trend, they still waned. Innovations that dawned and blew minds at a time, today gone into obscurity.
Presidents of nations have trended on the stage of popularity, influence and authority. Today, such names are barely remembered. Phased out! Such is life. Nothing is permanent. Let this stick and be humbled.
That position ,influence and authority of yours isn’t cast in stone. Let it stick and be hopeful, though you may not be trending now, surely your time will dawn.
The truth is, nothing however nauseating, however notorious, however interesting and appreciated remains permanently in the space and face of people.
The only one that reigns and at all times new is Christ. The more you embrace him, the more new he becomes. Every other things passes away but him.
Beauty fades, love for human, however obsessive wanes too. Time makes all things possible. Change! The only permanent thing. Know this and be humbled.
Things reign twice. At the dawn of their creation, innovation or invention and at the moment of their recreation by another generation. Such was the case of Gwo gwo gwo ngwo lyrics. It trended and reigned over 30 years when it was released. It reigned again in another generation when it was recreated. Nothing reigns twice in same generation.
Brain Jotter no matter how ingeniously creative cannot recreate gwo gwo gwo ngwo dance again to trend the way it trended months ago. It is phased and its tending elasticity in this generation has reached its elastic limit.
This is life lesson 101. Be humble and get sense. “Uwa odighi onye ozuru le”( Nobody has it all)
Life is a whirlwind! Catch what you would be able to catch. In a moment all those noise would simmer, waiting for another whirlwind.
