3 Unforgettable Musicians Who Sang The Future Of Nigeria

1. Fela: Suffering and Smiling
Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s Suffering
and Smiling describes Nigeria and it’s economic situation
better than ever:
“ Every day my people dey inside bus
Every day my people dey inside bus
Forty-nine sitting, ninety-nine standing
Them go pack themselves in like sardine
Them dey faint, them dey wake like rooster
Them go reach house, water no dey
Them go reach bed, power no dey
Them go reach road, go-slow go come
Them go reach road, police go slap
Them go reach road, army go whip
Them go look pocket, money no dey
Them go reach work, query ready

2. Eedris AbdulKareem: Nigeria Jaga Jaga
This was one song that got former President
Olusegun Obasanjo in a fret. The song
decried the plight of the common Nigerian and the economic
woes in the country
“ Nepa won di regular 419 for Nigeria Agege to Ikeja
(in 2004) Na 100 naira Fuel scarcity na popular Action film
for Nigeria ”
Don’t forget the Nigeria jaga jaga every thing scatter scatter chorus.

3. African China: Mr. President
Another oldie that is still goldie. And it still
applies today.
“ Fuel e no dey
Brother eh transportation no dey
And our road e no good o
What about the NEPA people o
we no get light
Everybody just dey halla
fuel no dey, na how we wan survive
Many youth ready for work
but as work no dey
na how dey wan survive
We be giant of Africa
but to get visa enter Ghana
na WAEC [oh my God]
Policeman go see white
e go tell you say
I say that thing na red
Tell me something my people
Make una lead us well,
no let this nation to fall inside well ”
