Nigeria i/naɪˈdʒɪəriə/, officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a federal constitutional republic comprising 36 states and its Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The country is located in West Africa and shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, and Niger in the north. Its coast in the south lies on the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean. The three largest and most influential ethnic groups in Nigeria are the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.
In terms of religion Nigeria is roughly split half and half between Muslims in the North and Christians in the South; a very small minority practice traditional religion. Since 2002 there have been a spate of clashes, particularly in the North of the country, between government forces and the Islamists Boko Haram, militant jihadists who seek to establish sharia law.
The people of Nigeria have an extensive history. Archaeological evidence shows that human habitation of the area dates back to at least 9000 BCE. The area around the Benue and Cross River is thought to be the original homeland of the Bantu migrants who spread across most of central and southern Africa in waves between the 1st millennium BC and the 2nd millennium.

I spent all of my money on some cheap red wine
it was the last dollar to my name
I need some fortified courage to speak my mind
I wish it didn’t have to be this way
Now I’m treading cold water and I don’t know how
I ever wound up out here
I take one last drink of my cheap red wine
and throw my inhibitions to the air
So lay down my worries
be still my beating heart
So lay down my worries
be still my beating heart
It only takes one second for the shoe to drop
and his brother’s not far behind
I wasted all of my moments looking for a hand
when all I had to take was mine
Oh cause there ain’t no soul in this city
and there ain’t no soul in me
I gather up all of my defenses
and sink my hesitations in the sea
So lay down my worries
be still my beating heart
So lay down my worries
be still my beating heart

From original wailers
You are in tune to Jurassic 5
Don't move your dial
Enough love and respect
The music is strong
Play on
This is what it's all about
This is why we play
This is why we make your day
The world begs to meet you
The world knows it needs you
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are red
And wound and sweat and hollow
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
And the world wants to feed you
It's on your side
I'd jump just to please you
And that is why
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are grip
And grin and sweat and wallow
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
And a man wants to meet you
He's on your side
He knows how to feed you
And so he tries
A cold slap to the head
From the one who wants to steal my bread
And the box inside me hums
For the one who wants to feed my love
And the box is humming soft and low
So definite the echo
Now it feels so low
Now it feels so low
Now you feel so low
Now you feel so low
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
These are my hidden feelings
This is myself anyway
This is me - The darkest being
I have discovered these days
AND I SHOULD DO WHAT THEY DO
CUT THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU
This is my back soul's river
This is my current out to sea
They make me be the unbeliever
This is their gift to me
AND I SHOULD DO WHAT THEY DO
CUT THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU
They are bringing me down
Smash me hard on the ground
AND YOU SHOULD DO LIKE THEY DO
CUT THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU
They surely'll get you down
The world begs to meet you
The world knows it needs you
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are red and wound and sweat and hollow
This is
Such an opportunity for me
And the world wants to feed you
It's on your side
I'd jump just to please you
And that is why
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are grip and grin and sweat and wallow
This is
Such an opportunity for me
And a man wants to meet you
He's on your side
He knows how to feed you
And so he tries
A cold slap to the head
From the one who wants to steal my bread
And the box inside me hums
For the one who wants to feed my love
And the box is humming soft and low
So definite the echo
Now it feels so low
Now it feels so low
Now you feel so low
Now you feel so low
This is
Such an opportunity for me
I don't think that you're a bore, though I told you so
before
Maybe you're a bit too shy, but that doesn't answer why
I laugh while you are crying, I sell while you are
buying
I've fooled around but I don't care, I told you "You
should beware"
chorus:
'Cause I'm ruder than you
That's why I act the way I do
I guess I'm ruder than you
Ruder than anyone you knew
You're the beauty, I'm the beast
You're disgusted, I am pleased
With the way that things turn out
You just go on about how things were meant to be
Sweet dreams of you and me
This is no time for lullabies - I am the devil in
disguise
(chorus)
Now I'm leaving you alone
But I couldn't tell you on the phone
'Cause I'd really love to see you cry
We could go to bed but then bye-bye
(chorus)
This is magic, this is new beginnings
This is come into my life, come into my life
This is sunshine, this is how we're livin'
This is come into my life, come into me
This is almost, this is all I wanted
This is come into my life, come into me
Oh oh oh, take me home
When I first met you I almost wanted to run away
What is this, my heart
Now I'm standing and I'm so sure you're the one for me
Oh oh oh, take me home
This is magic, this is new beginnings
Come into my life, come into my life
It's sunshine, this is how we're livin'
Come into my life, come into me
And I will love you, I will love you
Always, I'll never stop
I'm gonna love you, yeah baby always
I will never stop
I'll never stop
Oh oh oh don't you want to take me home
This is magic, this is new beginnings
Come into my life, come into my life
This is sunshine, this is how we're livin'
Come into my life, come into me
This is almost it's everything I wanted
Come into my life, come into me
Oh oh oh don't you want to take me home
'Cause I'm going to love you
I know I'm gonna love you
Yeah yeah, I say always, I'll never stop
Where ever you are, always
I'm gonna be right there
Yeah, I say always baby
You can call on me yeah yeah
Oh always I will be there and I'll never stop
[Hook]
My life be like
Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
[Verse One: Coffee]
I'm on an island by my lonesome stranded
Low key and stayin' candid
Reflect on all the things I try my hand at
Church for the equations to persuasions I'm used to
Finding comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
A mountainous fontaine
Spinnin' and monsoonin', grinnin' it's hign octane
Explosive how I came
Rollin' down hills cause lifes a hastle
Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
Stay afloat, catch a second wind
Thin
Is the air I breathe
Teary eyed nose runnin' wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm callin' on the Savior to be all that I need
Please forgive me my behavior had me lost at light speed
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
[Verse Two: Bonifide]
The fear of never fallin' in love
And the tears after losin' the feelings of what you thought love was
Like the dirt still up under the rug (My life be like)
Bad characteristics covered in Christs blood
The joy of new birth and the pain of growin' up
The bliss between givin' my all and givin' up
The highs and lows
Paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze
Tryin' to ease my woes
In this world of sin
Clothes to thin to fend
So to God I send
Words of help to win
In grumblings so deep letters could never express
So the sound of Ooh Aah beneath my breath projects
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
Don't be bad
[Verse Three: TobyMac]
My life be like
Ooh Aah Ooh
Dum dum ditty
Here come that boy from the Capital City
Last up on the Grits new ditty
But eight bars or the truth well do (uh)
I believe theres a private stunnin
And I believe in the Kindgom Comming
I believe if you seek the truth
You don't need to look far cause it's gonna find you
So why oh why do I trip and stumble?
And ooh aah as commitment crumbles?
I can't believe that I'm here again...
[Chorus (over hook)]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
My life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Ma-ma-my life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
My life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
