6 | Nneka is a young singer from Nigeria and has her own brave response to guns and violence. | Nneka dia mpihira avy ao Nizeria ary manana famaliana manokana izy ho setrin'ny poabasy sy ny herisetra. |
7 | The song is “Pray for You.” | Ny lohatenin'ny hira dia manao hoe “Pray for You” [Mivavaka ho anao]. |
8 | She wrote it about the presence of Boko Haram in Nigeria. | Nanoratra momba ny fisian'ny Boko Haram ao Nizeria izy. |
9 | Boko Haram is a militant Islamist group most infamous for kidnapping young girls, which led to the worldwide Twitter campaign #BringBackOurGirls. | Ny Boko Haram dia vondrona mitam-piadiana Islamista malaza amin'ny fakana an-keriny zazavavys, izay nitarika ny fanentanana Twitter manerantany #BringBackOurGirls. |
10 | She says it's a song about forgiveness. | Nolazainy fa hira momba ny famelan-keloka io. |
11 | “Instead of being violent, instead of approaching the situation in a hostile manner, what we need is a peaceful resolution.” | “Ny tokony ataontsika dia famahana olana am-pilaminana fa tsy fanaovan-kerisetra na fijerena ny toe-draharaha anaty fankahalana.” |
12 | And Nneka maintains many Nigerians feel the same way. | Ary mametraka i Nneka fa maro ny Nizeriana mihevitra tahaka izany. |
13 | Nneka speaks with passion. | Miteny ao anatin'ny fitiavana lalina i Nneka. |
14 | And it's that passion for political change that has her fans comparing her to Fela Kuti and Bob Marley. | Ary izany fitiavana lalina ho amin'ny fiovana politika izany no mahatonga ny mpankasitraka hampitaha azy amin'i Fela Kuti sy Bob Marley. |
15 | They were both singers who spoke their mind, were politically motivated and expressed their views through song. | Samy mpihira milaza ny ao an-tsainy, manana fotokevitra politika sy maneho ny fomba fijeriny amin'ny alalan'ny hira izy roa ireo. |
16 | Nneka reluctantly sees herself as a leader. | Mahita ny tenany ho mpitarika tsy sazoka i Nneka. |
17 | And she admits that like many leaders she has flaws. | Ary miaiky izy fa manan-kilema toy ireo mpitarika hafa. |
18 | And what's her flaw? | Ary inona ny kilemany? |
19 | “When I don't want to speak anymore because too much has been said already and nobody's reacting or practising what they preach.” | “Rehefa tsy te-hiteny intsony aho satria efa be loatra ny nolazaina nefa tsy misy ny mihetsika na mampihatra izay notoriany.” |
20 | And that's when Nneka gets into what she calls her “funk.” | Ary izany rehefa tonga amin'izay lazainy fa “funk” i Nneka. |
21 | Funk is silence. | Fahanginana ny Funk. |
22 | “But in that silence at the end of the day I guess, I gain strength to scream again and sing.” | “Saingy ao amin'izany fahanginana izany amin'ny takariva mody masoandro dia manontany aho, mahazo hery indray aho hikiaka indray sy hihira.” |
