This is Nigeria Lyrics by Falz
Falz remixes Donald Glover’s (a.k.a Childish Gambino) song—"This Is America“.
His version titled “This Is Nigeria”, in the lyrics, highlights almost every problem affecting Nigeria that has gained media attention in recent times to the song’s release.
The very insightful video, a parody of Gambino’s video, attenuates the highlighted problems in a similar manner to how the original video did.
[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 corruption. Many criminal cases are settled in police stations
[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)
