Shaba is a prayer embedded in a party anthem.
It embodies the Nigerian philosophy of not dwelling in one’s misery. Hence, in the intro, Niniola says with a tough love tone – “Can you roll your waist? Don’t stand and be looking like a monkey”.
Basically, why be miserable when you can Shaba!
In Ver...

So that I can-a
Afford anything I want to buy

To avoid the go-slow on the road
No more sweating in -
