To sing a song in praise of the songs of Nigeria is like begging God in the name of God to help Nigeria. One of the first Nigerian songs to mention is Sonny Okosun’s Which Way Nigeria? Which Way Nigeria was released in 1983. His albums are full of advice to Nigerian politicians to behave themselves and be reasonable. Nigeria ta wa yi yo si mama dara, (This Nigeria will still turn out good) is a hopeful song but full of ifs.
