King of my country (Sound Sultan & Wyclef Jean)

I dey come back home
(I wanna come home) cuz I've been out there too long
I be Naija boy in an English town
Breaking bounds, making pounds
Identification na green passport
Cuz I am a king where I come from

Nigeria na home

I prefer to live like a lion in the jungle than to stay like a dog in the city

Black kings and queens, they do anything for the money
Say you be king where you come from but how come you dey wash plate for London
You get plenty land back home but now you dey wash plate for London
Cuz Naija na the place where we dey stay

Nigeria na home

The only America

Have you gotten your Green Card? If you have, then Wanlov!

Green Card by WanlovNo, not that one. I am taking about Wanlov's long-awaited debut CD called Green Card. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I have really enjoyed the experience. The album is a masterpiece that has a focus on Ghana, Diasporean issues, Ghanaians abroad, etc. I remember hearing his first single 'Kokonsa' and I immediately realised a fresh new sound then. It has taken Wanlov the Kuborlor about 5 years to work on his LP and it was well worth it. It is a great album for Africans abroad to have.

Green Card

Hook 2x
We fought to get off the slave yard
Now we fight to get us a green card
Why do we work for this stuff so hard?
How you living and you working grave yard?

Verse 1
Stand for days
At the American consulate
They're running late
Push back yout interview date
So you won't stay
They ask for a bank state
Meant to bring one
Forgot
Now they close gates
Bills ain't paid
Money spent on visa fees
You crying
Landlady standing vis a vis
C'est la vie mon amis
Ask Uncle Kofi
Maybe he's got connections at the embassy
Used to be with this lady fro

Infinity Skillz - Nigerian musicians in China

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Infinity SkillzHave you ever heard the joke that if you wanted to stay or live in some part of the world for sometime, you shouldn't go there if there are no Nigerians? It is because they are so ubiquitous they make the Chinese look like pork to chicken in the meat section. We all love Naija, why wouldn't you? One question I am thinking real hard about right now is, are there more Nigerians in China than Chinese in Nigeria? If you think it's easy to answer the question, let me know.

I don't know if this info will help us answer the question but have you heard about the band called Infinity Skillz? It's a self-produced band made up of two Nigerian guys, Wilson (from Anambra State and Kaduna) and Najeem (from Lagos State and Kaduna) and a Chinese girl called Lulu ( from Huzhou Zhejiang) based in China. There are so many Nigerians in China to have a couple of great and popular rappers, go figure :-D
