To understand Nigeria, you need to appreciate where it came from
In 1900, Britain officially assumed responsibility for the
Administration of the whole of what we
Now know as Nigeria from the Niger Company
And then, gradually over the years
British protectorates were established throughout the territory

In 1914, the protectorates were amalgamated into one Nigeria

Actually, there's one additional detail that bears mentioning
In order to take over the territories from the
Niger Company, the British Government paid 865,000 pounds
A huge amount in 1900

So let's establish a simple truth
The British didn't travel halfway
Across the world just to spread democracy
Nigeria started off as a business deal
For them, between a company and a government
Incidentally, the Niger Company is still around today
Only it is known by a different name, Unilever
But that's another story

It's Kel-P vibes

Which kind country be this, chaley I conf
Sometimes I for dey move away, maybe a month
More or less, more yawa
Less people power

Stuck in traffic I dey hate delay
Big man get the motorcade, big Benz and the Escalade
Hustle just dey escalate

But mad six, we go celebrate (mtch!)
Every year, we dey sing cock and bull
Propaganda you dey push no dey go
E dey pain, people tire for this matter
Everyday for thief man, one day for master
