Saint Janet | Zikoko!
  • If “WAP” Was A Nigerian Song

    Ever since WAP was released, a lot of hot takes have happened. The song has also topped charts, despite the hot takes and everything accompanying its release.

    But can you imagine WAP as a Nigerian song? Well, we can. And here’s what would happen if it was one.

    1. For starters, it would be sung by Saint Janet, not Cardi B.

    The title would be something like “Ariya WAP“. Or “Obo Tutu.” If you don’t understand what that is, please ask a friend to tell you. I will not be the one to lead you into sin.

    2. There would be a remix, and it would feature Naira Marley, not Megan Thee Stallion.

    Naira Marley will now add lyrics like:

    To ba doko ma l’ole, WAP.
    Even me I get WAP, WAP.
    Omoge shey you go wap?
    Oya, wa ba mi n’ile, make I no go do soapy.
    WAP

    3. The lyrics will then annoy the morality police in Nigeria.

    I won’t mention names, but expect a LOT of tweets on how Nigerian youths have lost focus to concentrate on fruitless things like sex. (As if sex does not produce fruits when fertilization occurs).

    4. Sha, the song will not be played on radio.

    But Nigerians like bad-bad things, so the lyrics video will gather an insane number of views, and it will trend for days.

    5. Because they have coconut heads, Saint Janet and Naira Marley will shoot a video for the song.

    Ladies in bikini, a lot of soap water, synthetic eyelashes, Naira Marley with a beltless trouser, Saint Janet serving retired Sugar Mummy realness.

    6. The National Film and Video Censors Board will now vex and kuku ban the video.

    And for reasons beyond human explanation, Naira Marley will be declared wanted by law enforcement agencies. Yes, Naira Marley is almost always having an issue with them, but imagine being arrested on top of WAP. Ordinary WAP.

    7. By the way, the locals will jam the song until it becomes irritating.

    Fuji remix will be in excess. DJ 4kasibe, DJ Lamba, DJ JiMasun will produce mixtapes with it, and one of these DJs will play it at somebody’s wedding ceremony where the entire crowd will go wild and leave there wondering if the bride has a WAP and how did the DJ know this.

    It’s all going to be a mess, really. But in 10 years time, WAP will be resurrected on Twitter as a meme.

  • 6 Songs You Should Never Sing In A Nigerian Home

    Growing up in a Nigerian home means that there are certain things you must NEVER do. One of this includes singing certain types of songs. If you love yourself, you’ll read this list and take the advice we have to give.

    1. If I Die Young by The Band Perry

    We know that you have grown old and you don’t fear anything again. But your parents still have a lot of fears. So if you love yourself, please don’t ever sing this song at home. Why? The lyrics speak for themselves:

    If I die young bury me in satin
    Lay me down on a bed of roses
    Sink me in the river at dawn
    Send me away with the words of a love song

    If I Die Young

    2. Jailer by Asa

    Yes, Asa falls into the category of artistes accepted by Nigerian parents. But see ehn, one time I sang this part at home:

    I’m in chains you’re in chains too
    I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms too
    You’re a prisoner too Mr Jailer

    I have fears you have fears too
    I will die, you sef go die too

    That was all the ammunition my father needed to say that I was possessed, singing songs about being a prisoner and wanting to go to jail and die. Why couldn’t I sing songs about being rich? Why do I like to curse myself? See ehn, it was an experience I will never forget.

    3. If I Die (Make You No Cry For Me) by Da Grin

    Imagine singing this in front of your Yoruba parents. Do you really want to die? They just might assist you with small transport fare to meet your God.

    4. Everything by Naira Marley

    Especially, toba doko malole or whatever that death sentence of a song is called. It’s like confessing your atrocities, because your parents will then ask you how you know what an oko is. Aren’t you supposed to be holy and pure?

    PS: The only oko I know is farm. Don’t corrupt me, dears.

    5. The entire discography of Saint Janet.

    Not sure if any young person still sings this madam today, but if you’re planning to, it might be time to perish that idea. It will likely end in tears.

    6. Everything by Obesere. In fact, the name Obesere is forbidden in a Nigerian home.

    Abass Obesere - Apple Juice - Video CD | African Bargains

    I’m so sure that this man’s return must have triggered anxiety in Nigerian parents. To them, he is nothing but a corrupting influence and their holy children will be tainted. Remember how they hid his tapes from you back then? They probably don’t know that you will grow up to become an Obesere intern. Sha don’t sing his song near them.

    Did I leave any song out? Tell me in the comments!
