This Is Nigeria

[Verse 1] Extremely poor. The medical facilities are poor. We operate a predatory, neocolonial capitalist system, which is founded on fraud and exploitation, and therefore, you are bound to have corrupt institutionalists. Many criminal cases are settled in police stations, albeit illegal [Hook] Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh e-ewo Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh e-ewo Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh e-ewo [Chorus] This is Nigeria Look how I'm living now Look how I'm living now Everybody be criminal This is Nigeria Look how we living now Look what we eating now Everybody be criminal [Verse 2] This is Nigeria Just because I'm on TV now Person wey no get work Is checking to see If my watch is original This is Nigeria Wey da Madam Philomena Money vanish from your office 36 milli you talk say na animal This is Nigeria Never ending recession o When looter and killers and stealers are still contesting election o Politicians wey thief some billion and billion e no dey go prison o Police station dey close by 6 Security reason o (Babaa, ese o, babaa, ese o babaa) My brothers and sisters, I want you to put your hands up right now, because your miracle is coming this week.

[Outro] But what happens everyday is that, the system has allowed it. For instance there is no law that allows you to take money from the church, invest in business, and privatize it. No. It is only in Nigeria were you can take money from the church, money contributed by poor congregation members. You go and set up a university that the members cannot attend. Cannot send their children to. It's against the rule and the law of God. It's against the constitution
