Eh-eh-eh!
Oya make we talk true!
No be every Oga be oga!
Some Oga na jaguda!
Fine shirt, big title,
But him mind dey plan another thing!
DJ, turn am up!
Some Oga na jaguda! (Jaguda!)
Some Oga na arm rubber! (Arm rubber!)
Dem go smile for your face,
For your back dem go carry your matter!
Some Oga na jaguda! (Jaguda!)
Some Oga na arm rubber! (Arm rubber!)
Dem go chop with you today,
Tomorrow dem go sell your matter!
Oya, who be your Oga?
Who be your Oga?
No be everybody wey wear big shoe
Get better character!
Some Oga na jaguda!
Some Oga na arm rubber!
Open your eye, my brother,
No let dem use you suffer!
Monday morning, Oga enter office,
Big big grammar, him dey talk like professor.
“Everybody na family, we must work together!”
But when promotion reach, na him people gather.
You do the work, another man collect credit,
You bring the idea, dem go say you no get merit.
For meeting, him go praise you, “My boy, you try!”
For report, na another name dey fly.
Oga say, “Don't worry, your time go come,”
Every year na the same old song.
You dey carry file, you dey run up and down,
When the benefit land, you no dey around!
Smile for the front, knife for the back,
Check your corner, make you watch your track.
No be everybody wey dey call you “my guy”
Go stand with you when the trouble dey fly!
Some Oga na jaguda! (Jaguda!)
Some Oga na arm rubber! (Arm rubber!)
Dem go smile for your face,
For your back dem go carry your matter!
Some Oga na jaguda! (Jaguda!)
Some Oga na arm rubber! (Arm rubber!)
Dem go chop with you today,
Tomorrow dem go sell your matter!
During campaign, dem go call you “my people,”
Dem go promise heaven, dem go promise equal.
“Give me your vote, I go change your life!”
After election, you no fit reach am twice.
Before election, him phone dey ring,
After election, na assistant dey pick.
Him convoy dey pass, everybody clear road,
But the people wey vote still dey carry load.
One bag of rice, dem go make big show,
Four years later, where the promises go?
Dem go remember you when election near,
After dem win, you no go see dem here!
Some Oga collect money, no deliver work,
When you ask for your money, dem go start to talk.
“Tomorrow, tomorrow, my brother, calm down!”
Before you know, the Oga don leave town.
Dem go use fine English confuse your head,
Make you sign agreement wey you never read.
Dem go call you partner, dem go call you friend,
But when profit reach, na there friendship end!
No be everybody wey dey wear designer
Get clean hand or pure character.
Make you check the action, no be only the talk,
Because fake Oga fit make you waka!
Oga! Oga! Who you be?
Na your character wey go tell me!
Oga! Oga! Wetin you do?
You dey lift your people or dey use dem too?
If you lead, lead well!
If you promise, do well!
If you chop, make others chop!
No be you alone own the whole shop!
Lead: Some Oga na wetin?
Crowd: Jaguda!
Lead: Some Oga na wetin?
Crowd: Arm rubber!
Lead: Dem go smile for where?
Crowd: For your face!
Lead: Dem go do wetin?
Crowd: Carry your matter!
Lead: So wetin we go do?
Crowd: Open our eye!
All: No trust empty promise!
Make action testify!
But make I tell you, no be all Oga bad,
Some get good heart, some dey make you glad.
Dem go share the credit, dem go show you the way,
Dem go stand beside you when you lose your pay.
Good Oga no dey fear make him people grow,
He go give you knowledge, make your future show.
He no go use your sweat come build him name,
When success arrive, everybody gain!
Na this kind Oga we dey pray to see,
Leader wey get heart and integrity.
No be by title, no be by gold,
Na character dey tell whether your heart be gold!
Some Oga na jaguda! (Jaguda!)
Some Oga na arm rubber! (Arm rubber!)
Dem go smile for your face,
For your back dem go carry your matter!
Some Oga na jaguda! (Jaguda!)
Some Oga na arm rubber! (Arm rubber!)
But good Oga dey lift you up,
No go use you suffer!
Open your eye, my brother!
Open your eye, my sister!
No be everybody wey call you “my guy”
Go stand with you forever!
Some Oga na jaguda!
Some Oga na arm rubber!
But make we choose better leaders,
Make we no become another!
Oga is a title.
Leadership is responsibility.
Respect is not by force.
Trust is not by fine clothes.
If you be Oga, treat your people well.
If you be follower, use your sense well.
Because some Oga na jaguda…
But some Oga na blessing!
Eh-eh! DJ, fade am!
