they remember their
childhoods.
If you had a bad childhood,
don't
worry I'm about to ruin the
ones
of those that had good ones.
Growing up in Naija, we had
some songs we've been singing
since we were toddlers. We
learnt these songs and joined
the
multitude that has been singing
it wrong for ages.
Here are some songs that many
Nigerians have been singing
wrong since they were kids:
1. Sandalili Sandalili
Every primary school child from
the 90's knows this song. We
sang it and we were proud. But
did you know we've been
singing it all wrong since time
immemorial?
" The correct thing is
Standard living, standard
living. "
I wonder how we made the
jump from standard living to
sandalili.
2. The most excellency is Jesus
This is another song many
Christians sing. I bet you will
hear
this when you go to church on
Sunday. The correct wording is:
" The most excellent
king is Jesus. "
Don't worry, it is okay to cry.
3. Jangilova epo motor
This was another favourite of
us
when it comes to playing
games.
I wonder where we got
Jangilova when it is:
" Jingle over like a
motor "
4. Osingo Osingo, Praise the
Lord
This song is actually "O sing my
soul, praise the Lord". But as
Nigerians, we have invented our
own version lol.
