There’s no better moment to revisit the highly contentious song “Jaga Jaga” by Eedris Abdulkareem, which brought him into conflict with Olusegun Obasanjo, the president of Nigeria at the time, and was eventually taken off the radio due to its allegedly unsatisfactory lyrics regarding the happenings in our country.

Nigeria jaga jaga

Ev everything scatter scatter,

poor man dey suffer, suffer
