Surulere brings feelings of nostalgia, patriotism, despair, and hope that I feel for Nigeria. I remember enjoying Surulere as a kid in 2001 even when I did not understand the lyrics. My father, also not a Yoruba speaker, was a big fan at the time and had a couple of Lagbaja’s CD albums, including “Lagbaja - We”. Over the years, after asking my Yoruba-speaking friends for translations, the song has become one of my all-time favourites. It has been 20 years since Surulere was released and many of the issues he mentioned are still prevalent. I think it would have been unrealistic to expect a perfect democracy in Nigeria given our history of military rule and ethnic heterogeneity. However, Lagbaga's main message - patience - is what we need, and is indeed practicable. We need the patience to build and consolidate democratic ideals because democracy is not an outcome or destination, it really is a journey. I cannot think of a better song about Nigeria and I hope that this masterpiece continues to remind us all of our political history and our democratic goals. If we do not heed, then "mo sorry fun gbogbo yin o!" God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Nigeria is a failed state and we will forever keep chasing a non-existent dream as long as we are lumped together with neigbors having different ideas and way of life.

i am cameroonian. I first heard this song in 2004 just a few days after I packed into my room at the university. My friend had an extended family member (a Nigerian) who was visiting. He brought along a Lagbaja VCD. I visited my friend one day and this song was playing. His uncle explained to us what the song is talking. I have loved the song from the very first moment I heard it. It has such a beautiful melody. This along with Fela Kuti's "Shakala" 2face's "African Queen" and Tiwa Savage's "If I start to talk" are some of the most beautiful and timeless Nigerian music I have heard. God bless Naija. It shall be well

The condition of my country people is very disheartening-- a country where nothing works, education zero, religious institution zero, political institution zero. things are going from bad to worst. I hope someday soon, we can get things straight. The only thing i know is that it is only the youths that can save that country....

NIGERIA. The country was formed as a contraption of different civilizations. 0:06 clearly shows this. This is 60 years post-independence, and the reality is even worse than when the colonial -masters- raiders left. Lagbaja was sadly wrong when he said Suuru Lere. Patience is not the solution to the half-century-long problem of Nigeria. Patience was not what Awolowo and Okpara used to build their respective regions during the first republic, it was an almost perfect regionalism and true decentralisation of the central government. If patience was the key, how come two decades of democracy have not achieved one per cent of what was completed in less than 7 years of regionalism during the first republic? No single successful nation on earth has three dominant ethnic groups. Nigeria will forever be stuck in a loop of infinite power tussle among the three groups with different agendas and ways of life. Nigeria is a clash of civilisation and realities.
