Telling the story

edit

The only way to do justice to this article is to tell the full story of the adventures of Mbe and Enyi relayed in the song. 102.91.4.193 (talk) 09:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, please drop the full story of the adventures of Mbe and Enyi here, let's look at it together and see how we can incorporate it into the article. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Edit request

After reviewing the article, I found that while it is good, there are a few changes needed. Here is my analysis:

  • The lead needs polishing
  • The source from Prime 9ja doesn't translate the title as cited, hence should be removed
  • We need to know where the comedian started the challenge; is it physically or online? I think the media used social media or maybe Instagram
  • Is it necessary using the album when it is there in the information box, besides it isn't notable but can remain there, this, this one is optional
  • Any more details on these used? I think Igbo proverbs are widely used by Ejeagha in his songs and this one won't be an exception
  • Atlas, informed perhaps: "Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche" is an Igbo highlife song by Nigerian musician Mike Ejeagha. It was released in 1983 on his album Akuko N'Egwu Vol. 1 and became popular in 2024 because of a viral dance challenge started by comedian Brain Jotter on social media. The song narrates a folktale about a tortoise and an elephant.

@SafariScribe Viral means quickly and widely spread or popularized especially by means of social media. So adding “on social media” again to this sentence puts too much emphasis on social media. For the translation, I have reverted several times to the translation from the cited source, and I just did again. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:23, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
