Two little words can encompass a big thank you, and BRODA SHAGGI creates a live session around that with DUPE.
In Yoruba the word means thank you and is one of the first things a boy learns to say at home. It’s what you say to the seller who gives you a little more, to the neighbor who gave you a bucket of water, or to the elderly man who prayed for you. It is never simply polite to say this in Nigeria. It is a method of indicating that you have noticed what someone has done for you.
This is what makes it such a powerful title. Gratitude is something almost everyone knows, and a song based on that theme might be appropriate for a Thanksgiving service, a family gathering, or a quiet time alone. It can be directed at God, parents, a partner, or a friend who stayed behind when others left. The word does not mention who is recognized; then, each listener enters the name.

The live session also tells you something about the environment. A live recording often gives the feeling of a room, an artist reacting to the moment and people coming together. I can’t pretend to describe an arrangement or lyrics that I can’t confirm, but often a live thank you song is meant for singalongs, the kind where the audience answers the call line by line.
There’s also some humor in its simplicity. Comedy did BRODA SHAGGI a familiar name to many Nigerians, so a thinking word like this is rare. And when a friend sends you TRICK after a good week, you’ll know that the message behind it is simple appreciation.
The idea will resonate with anyone who has been supported through a bad season or simply wants to express their gratitude. It’s perfect for Sunday afternoons, family gatherings and quiet evenings when you finally count your blessings.
