“Mr. President” is a song by African China that talks about the problems and the economy in Nigeria. Even though many young people might not know this song, its lyrics still make sense and describe how Nigerians are treated.
African China wrote this song back in 2006, when President Olusegun Obasanjo was in charge. Life was tough then – food was expensive, there was no water, the roads were bad, and it was hard to find jobs.
African China hoped that important leaders would hear this song and try to make the country’s economy better.
Here are some of the lyrics:
- “Food is scarce, water is scarce, and our country is not good.”
- “The rich man steals money, but we never see his face on the news. The poor man steals a little bit of food, and they show his face on TV.”
- “Please lead us well. Don’t let our country fall apart.”
- “There’s no fuel, no transportation, and our roads are bad. We don’t have electricity. How are we supposed to survive?”
- “Many young people are ready to work, but there are no jobs. How are they supposed to survive?”
- “We are the giant of Africa, but we need a visa to go to Ghana. The police are corrupt and unfair.”
- “Please lead us well. Don’t let our country fall apart.”
The African China lyrics show the struggle of Nigerians, the need for honest leadership, and hope for a better future. Lead us well so the nation can thrive.
