The clear interpretation of the line is that God should take control of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The Fante language is very difficult for many to understand and the literal meaning of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaabor oo\u201d does not mean, being drunk, it also means being tired or overwhelmed. When you are engulfed with problems here and there in Fante language you can say &#8220;Maabor oo mpo \u201c, which does not mean you are drunk, but the situation makes you drank.<\/p>\n<p>As many Christians do when they face a situation which seems beyond their control, they called on God to take control and that\u2019s exactly Kofi Kinaata intended with his song.<\/p>\n<p>So Kofi Kinaata is not promoting alcoholic or any sort, but encouraging people to call on God when they face difficulties in their lives. We shouldn\u2019t paint this beautiful song with negative painting brushes. If you haven\u2019t heard the song yet. I encouraged you to listen and connect the key phrases together you will understand the content of the song.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music of Monday, 23 January 2017 Source: Gentlemenradio.com 2017-01-23 Kinaata Don\u2019t drink and drive, so Kofi Kinaata offer a straightforward strategy to save a life at the end of his song \u201cConfession&#8221;.
