This song is called Tres impoli (You are impolite) by Franco Makiadi, the leader of TPOK Jazz.
The song is 42 years old. It was recorded in 1984 in Gabon.
It is about an impolite, mannerless man.
The truth about this song is that Franco was impatient with a band member called Papa Ndombe Opetum, whom he sent to police remand for stealing a piece of meat.
Opetum was a stubborn, mannerless band member who, whenever he was sent to buy meat, sliced a portion for himself.
In fact, one of the songs composed for him by Simaro Lutumba, called Mbongo (Money), was later recorded by another obedient member, Djo Mpoyi, because Opetum had misbehaved.
When he sliced Franco's meat, Franco called the police on him. After staying in remand for 2 weeks, Opetum took off and rejoined Tabu Ley's band, Afrisa International.
He is seen here with Tabu Ley's band in a London Live concert, dancing like a comedian in Beyou Ciel's song Embouroumounkoue at 0:04 - 0:08 (https://t.co/isiWn6836M)
It is after Opetum left that Franco composed this song, Tres Impoli (Why are you impolite?)
My favourite verse in the song: 3:25
Chaussette etoboka - (Your socks are torn.)
Okoti na ndako ya bato oti makolo na mesa. Nzoka ezali mesa bato ba lelaka. - (You enter someone’s house and put your legs on the table. Yet people use that table to eat.)
This was Opetum's character.
Later, in 1988, when Franco was sick in Belgium, Opetum sneaked back to TPOK, where he composed two hits, ANGELA and TAWABA (https://t.co/aolQYdYCAe.)
Opetum collapsed and died in Kinshasa on 24th May 2012, aged 68 years.

This is wild. We have been lied to about everything
We were told chicken is a health food, we’ve been told it’s what we should all be eating
According to nutrient density information by multiple sources including the USDA, it ranks nearly dead last. Here’s the order for nutrient dense meat (generally)
- Beef (especially grass-fed; high in protein, zinc, iron, B vitamins, creatine)
- Lamb (often tops lists for nutrient density per serving; excellent fats, minerals, B vitamins)
- Bison (very lean, high protein, strong mineral profile; frequently #1 or #2 vs. others)
- Venison (lean, nutrient-packed game meat; high vitamins/minerals per calorie)
- Fish (varies: fatty fish like salmon excel in omega-3s; high in protein/selenium)
- Pork (good protein/minerals but often ranks below ruminants; varies by cut)
And all the way at the bottom is chicken:
- Chicken is excellent for lean protein but generally much lower in key micronutrients and fats compared to all the above
We have been lied to about everything
One of the big reason we switched from mainly eating mainly beef and other meats is marketing from major companies like Tyson
Chicken was historically more of a delicacy or seasonal food in the US, not everyday staple like beef or pork. Mid-20th century campaigns by companies like Tyson and others successfully repositioned it as a cheap, healthy, everyday “lean protein” alternative
Marketing played a major role in shifting consumer habits, emphasizing health and nutrition angles while industrial production scaled up dramatically. This was classic marketing to expand market share
You should be upset
NTV has done a documentary about the Ol Kalou by-election. They have exposed how UDA tried to rig the election using cars without number plates or altered.
They even captured them issuing money. Our question is, is IEBC ready to conduct free and fair elections or they should ask for help from Kenyans?
