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 eight hundred and sixty-five thousand 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? Chale I conf
Sometimes I for dey move away, maybe a month

Every year be the same cock and bull

Everyday for thief man, one day for master
