Catchy Lyrics in Another Story

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

Ay!
They wanna tell you o, tell you o, tell you o
Another story o, story o, story o
Since 1960 them dey play us, why o?
Shey we go dey cry forever more o..
