Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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

...
