It is hard to truly box Greatman Takit into a single genre. From contemporary worship to afro sounds and now this proper Igbo (eastern part of Nigeria) infused afro ish expression, he keeps proving that he is a man of many colours. ‘No lélẹ̀‘ is a slang that means no issue, no problem. It is a bold faith statement that says even if the enemy rises against me, no lele, because my Father has already conquered. In this song, no lele carries a strong lyrical display. Greatman weaves the confidence of faith into melodies that feel both cultural and refreshing.
The energy in the song is truly different. From the very first second, that opening flute drops and immediately gives the Igbo vibe, setting the cultural tone before a single lyric comes in. All the way to the end, Greatman holds that same energy, even imitating the way the Igbo exemplify confidence in their expression. It is vibrant, bold and full of life. The way he blends Igbo (eastern part of Nigeria) flavour with a message of victory shows a level of creativity that sets him apart. It is genius to take a widely used Nigerian expression and infuse it into a sound rooted in Igbo culture while still giving you afro vibes.
Some strong statements were also delivered in Igbo and they deepen the message even more. Lines like Onyeoma sacrifice himself for me highlight the gospel clearly, with Onyeoma meaning the Good One, a direct pointer to Christ. He also declares:
Nna, Nwa, Mmụọ Nsọ
no lélẹ̀
which means:
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
no lele.
A bold reminder that with the Trinity on your side there is truly no issue, no problem. No lélẹ̀ is more than a vibe. It is culture, faith and creativity meeting in one sound. Greatman Takit has once again shown why he remains one of the most dynamic voices in the gospel space.
Need a proper Christmas song to vibe to with your family this period. Get your dancing shoes and rejoice while declaring this faith based infused afro praise song.
