I am a critic of Naija nu generation music. I select the ones I listen to. Surulere is one of those songs that is a combination of rhythm, soul, Grove, lyrical sense and most of all danceable type, any time any day. Well done to the duo of the musical Doctor and the musical Don. Sid and Jazzy.

[@missieotolia3122]

It's 2024 and it's still my favorite ❤

When Dr. SID jumps and dances as the talking drums go in...priceless. Jos born, Surulere raised and I'm finally learning the meaning of Surulere. Love it!

[@emenyke]

What Dr.Sid and Don Jazzy have done here is they have given us a classical masterpiece for all ages. 20years from now, those who are infants today will grow up to listen to and love this great music.Well done guys and more of this.

"Surulere" in Yoruba language means "patience pays." Basically, that's what the song and video illustrate. Faith, persistence, patience. Coincidentally, Surulere is a popular town in Lagos where most of Nigerian entertainment and entertainers reside.

Chorus is Basically saying “Be Patient” (Surulere) Suru Laye Mi o ( I will exercise patience in my life) From the video you can see the husband and wife were without kids and were being pressured by the guys mom to have kids .

Songs like this particular one not only preaches and emphasises the reward associated with patience, It gives us something to grasp on to when swimming through troubled waters bearing in mind that he who endureth a little further shall have it better.
