3. Now we barely have concious musicians to voice out and speak the truth and challenge the leaders to do right.

Those in power are exercising their power and banning such songs, issuing serious threats and even arresting anyone who dares speak against them or their position.

Now what we have are musicians praise singing corrupt politicians and leaders.

Make election period come again, our entertainers would flock around them once again like shit attract flies.

Make I go drink coffee Abeg. This country matter truly tire me.

2. In the song he emphasized how much Nigeria was frustrating and things were bad and how desperately he wanted to get a visa and leave the country.

The era of Eedris Abdulkareem "Nigeria Jaga Jaga" and Falz "This is Nigeria" also came. But it didnt change the situation of things in the country.
