The Okada ban is the latest reminder of how frustrating living in this country can be, thanks to insensitive policies and questionable decision-making by the government. A lot of people have been thrown back in time and rudely told to trust their legs.

Anyway, we thought a good playlist could make this agonising experience somewhat bearable. These are our picks:

Falz – This is Nigeria

“This is Nigeria. Look how we’re trekking now.”

Lady Donli – Suffer Suffer

“Suffer, suffer, suffer no go come here. Don’t come my way”

Fela Kuti – Zombie

We’re the walking dead, anyway.

Burna Boy – Wetin Man Go Do

“Waka waka. No rest oh.”

Tekno – Rara

Last-last, God will bless everyone.

Burna Boy – Anybody

Get your batteries charged. You don’t want to be the one they need to “knack something”.

Zlatan – Zanku

It turns out that Zlatan was on to something when he made this record. Gbese!

Naira Marley – Tesumole

Let the devil feel your anger as you stomp on the ground.
