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.
She is telling the python to stay at that home and stop disturbing other villagers. She is calling it a mad snake😂😂 in Swahili language.

The outcome of 2007/2008 PEV is unbelievable b/c despite 1100+ innocent Kenyans being killed & 600000 others displaced;
-2 ICC suspects became Presidents.
-The Vice chair the of KNCHR who documented these murders is now the SG to the ICC suspect party.
- All witnesses died mysteriously. No investigations done
- The ICC witness is now working for an ICC suspect as his head of DCI
Defensive midfielder Leandro Paredes giving Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni some tactical lessons. This is why defensive midfielders (or deep lying midfielders in general) tend to turn out as good coaches. They see.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Belgian federation has released a new statement:
"After learning through media reports of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of player Balogun, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations."
"As its only response, FIFA sent a letter to the RBFA stating that it considered this correspondence to constitute an appeal, that a judge had been appointed, and that the RBFA had only a few hours to complete that appeal. No information whatsoever was provided by FIFA."
"All of this occurred while FIFA simultaneously refused to respond to the RBFA’s legitimate requests."
"Furthermore, during the match coordination meeting, FIFA deliberately removed the section concerning the automatic suspension of players from its presentation. This topic had nonetheless been part of all such meetings before each of the previous four matches. The RBFA questioned FIFA, both orally and in writing, about the reasons for this change, yet once again received no response."
"To be clear, as of this moment, the RBFA has still not received any decision or any explanation from FIFA regarding this matter. It therefore has no alternative but to challenge the player's eligibility for the upcoming match."
"Regardless of the sporting outcome of this match, the RBFA is deeply saddened by the course of events and will continue to fight in the coming hours, days and months in defence of the fundamental principles of ethics, fair competition, and the interests of football as a whole."
