Adaugo means Daughter of Honour ( Girl of honour).
Ada means Girl. First Daughter usually answer it as a name (In Igbo Tribe in Nigeria)

I don't if "Selense" is a female name or if it means something else in these lyrics.

Here's my notes about these lyrics:
The line “mama is pronounced as "mama-ah” [for instance is the lyrics given as "my super mama"

**
"Asa" is pronounced “Ashay” [ase]. Does this word have the same meaning as this explanation for the Yoruba word "ashe" that is found on this web page: https://yagbeonilu.com/ashe/
"Ase"-"Ashe="Ah Shay"...A Yoruba word meaning Power, Command, and Authority", The Ability To Make Whatever One Says Happen, Often Summarized A "So Be It"= "So It Is"= "It Definitely Shall Be"."

Nne= is pronounced "naynee" in that video. "Nne" is Igbo for “mother”.

Therefore, I think “asa nene” means "super mama".

**
The word “big” in this video is pronounced “biggy”.

**
The singer pronounces the English word “vehicle”(meaning automobile/car) = "vayhicle" which is an incorrect pronunciation.

**
"Yoo" is pronounced "yoh" in this video.
I'm not sure what this exclamation means or if it means anything besides a rhythmic utterance. I wonder if it's similar to the portion of Bob Marley's (Jamaican Reggae) song "Get Up Stand Up" which goes
"Oh, yo-yo-yo (oh, yo-yo-yo)
Oh, yo-yo-yo (oh, yo-yo-yo)
Oh, yo (oh, yo)
Oh, yo (oh, yo)"...
