6 Nigerian Tunes to Help You Get Over Your Ex

read more.....

Relationships are beautiful things, no doubt. They give you this sense of security, that someone special has got your back; you have someone to run to whenever it seems the whole world is turning against you, and best of all, that you are being loved for who you are.
Unfortunately, bad relationships are sometimes inevitable. The best thing any ‘victim’ can do is to do everything possible to get over such mishap – and everything allied to it.
One good way to do such is to listen to songs that will help you get over your ex. It’s rather sad that most Nigerian singers have subconsciously neglected this dark area of life, and gradually (over time), no one is saying anything therapeutic about breakups. This inspired the research for the most suitable Nigerian tunes for breakups; not really the ones that will keep you moping over your misfortune, but those that should really help you get over your ex!


Say Your Love - P-Square

"You say your love no dey lie, say your feelings no dey die; see me girl (now) I dey cry". You'd think guys were the ones bad with promises until you give this track a good listen. She even cheated on the innocent and sincere P-Square with 'his' best friend. "Get out of my sight make you find your way" goes the verdict of the 'played' lover. Too bad he loved her 'pass his mama', and now he wants to die. But he won't! Put this soulful classic tune on replay all day, and I bet you'd feel better about your breakup, especially if you actually pulled the red card!


Ego – Djinee

Okay, love-bereft and heart-broken boyfriends are finally tired of begging and doing everything to please the unloving girlfriend, and are ready to go and 'start life anew'. This is the lamentation of a lover who has put everything into a relationship he really thought would move to the next level - marriage, and had been a victim of spiteful criticism from friends and family because of the love he has for a woman who did not appreciate or reciprocate this feeling in the slightest bit. "If I die how I go appreciate say when I dey this world I don fall in love? If you help me see Ego, make you tell am I don go...” tuneful singer and super-producer Djinee bemoans. Such plaintive and emotional pidgin-English tune for any regretting lover who wants to leave everything behind and start all over.



Game Over – P-square

Failed promises from a woman again; and the incredible crooner twins are once again the victims. She kept hanging up when he called, and she kept telling all her friends she wanted to break up – all this after cheating badly. Thank God he didn't wait till she did the worst.
Warning: “If I dey go left, make you dey go right… if I dey go front, make you dey waka dey go!” So sorry about the break-up, but that part is a bit funny. That game was truly over! Tell that ex with all confidence; “this game is over”!




Not the Girl – Darey

You’d almost be moved to tears even without a bad breakup or an unforgivable ex when you allow yourself to dive deep into the grief-stricken lyrics and penetrating instrumentals of this song. The song is not yet at the break-up stage, but it will serve as a good reminder of how you noticed her/his negative changes, how you thought you 'lost her/him long ago like a book that's left the shelf' and how much you'd been expecting her to leave. Stop wondering how it all went wrong, forget how much you tried and all the tears you cried - she's gone and gone for good! With a strong resolution to put the emotions in check 'next time', all in a bid to protect his 'poor heart', this is versatile and multi-talented Darey Art Alade's masterpiece for loves gone bad.



Bibanke – Asa

This emotional masterpiece translates to 'When I'm Crying'. This song tells the story of a bad break-up obviously initiated by a guy who was actually no longer in the relationship except for his physical appearance. Asa bitterly recounts how the player swayed her with his sweet words and very believable assurances earlier in the relationship, and also regrets how she'd been 'a fool'. "When I'm crying, even if water is flowing, just leave me alone!" At the end of it all, classic lyricist Asa only had 'surrendering everything to God' as a last resort. There are very strong lyrics throughout the song. This sad tune with Yoruba chorus and bridge will surely be evergreen for bad break-ups!
