    "Nunu" is an expression in Igbo language majorly used for emphasis. It could loosely be translated as "for real", "understood?", depending on the context.
    "Na me wey dey cook nunu" means
    "I'm the one who cooks, for real".

      I don't know if I get the spelling right, nunu is port Harcourt delicacy just like Moi Moi which looks round like a cake I guess and Burna boy is from port Harcourt.
      "Na me wey dey cook nunu" I'm the one who cooks nunu."
      And he went again " na me wey dey hawk nunu, I'm the one who hawks nunu."

  • @lenkwes4931
    @lenkwes4931 Před rokem +2

    You missed out an essential part of the lyrics. "fit no do me jo" is a mix of Pidgin and Igbo meaning, "cannot hurt or harm me.
    The word, "njo" in Igbo means, bad, harm, hurt, or sin depending on its use. So, when he says, "fit no do me njo", he is simply saying that God can never hurt, harm or do evil to him.
    In summary, he is simply saying that since he puts his trust in God who puts food in his plate and can never cause him any harm, he therefore, has nothing to fear.
    Figuratively, Burna boy refers the show of fear as, running away. That's why he says, "agbalaoso" meaning, "don't run away".
