Why also the Nupe ? Seriki’s lyrics wax proudly of his Ago-Oko (Abeokuta, Ogun State) lineage. But interestingly, the songs are also heavily laced with interjections in the language of the Nupe .

The smooth blend of both Yoruba and Nupe languages in Igunnuko N’Ise Mi is not only a mellifluous delivery by Seriki and his back-up singers, it, more importantly, strongly indicates the cultural bond between the Yoruba and the Nupe.
