“No good road. No steady light. Even mechanic wey suppose fix motor sef na struggle,” Burna Boy wrote in pidgin English, painting a vivid picture of a nation in distress.
“Sometimes e be like say nothing good dey come out from Nigeria again. Living for this country fit make person feel like say na survival mode every day,” the singer added.
