Afam bu Tekno
But you can call me Mbaku

Them say woman place na for Kitchen
Say she suppose to fry all the chicken
No suppose to talk for the meeting
Concern herself with the cleaning
Yo yo yo
My mother is a woman
You cannot talk like this yo yo

I say come whine it for daddy
Come whine it for daddy
Control it mummy oh
I want to teach you the dance oh eh

Ahan dance kira
Potatoe dance do shakara
Jigijigi kokpewa

A woman can be a helper a woman
A woman can be a lover a woman
A woman can be a teacher a woman
A woman can be the President a woman
Say you want your baby for kitchen

Overall Meaning

In Tekno's song 'Woman', he showcases his support for women's equality while addressing the traditional sexist stereotypes that still exist in society. The song begins by him stating his name and then a reference to Mbaku, a popular character from the movie Black Panther who is known for his strong beliefs in the importance of women. Tekno goes on to criticize the notion that women belong in the kitchen, and that their only duty is cleaning and taking care of the household. He uses the example of his mother and the successful female singer Rihanna to assert that women are capable of doing more and should not be limited by gender roles.


Later in the song, Tekno emphasizes that a woman can be a helper, lover, teacher and even a president, directly challenging the idea that a woman's role is confined to domestic chores. He highlights the importance of equal treatment and opportunities for both men and women, reflecting on his own relationship with his partner where they share in household responsibilities and dance together despite economic challenges. Ultimately, Tekno's message is that women should be celebrated and respected for their diverse abilities and potential, rather than being limited to societal expectations and gender stereotypes.
