Chords for Burna Boy - Another Story (feat. M.anifest) [Official Music Video]

To understand Nigeria, you need to appreciate where it came from.
In 1900, Britain officially assumed responsibility for [Eb] the administration of the whole of what we now know as [Ab] Nigeria from the Niger Company.
And then, gradually over the years, British protectorates were established throughout the territory.
In 1914, the protectorates were amalgamated into one Nigeria.

_ _ _ Actually, there's one additional detail that bears mentioning
In order to take over the territories from the Niger Company
the British government paid £865,000, a huge amount in 1900.
_ So let's establish a simple
truth.
The British didn't travel halfway across the world just to spread democracy.
Nigeria
started off as a business deal for them, between a company and a government.
Incidentally, the Niger
company is still around today, only it is known by a different name, Unilever.
But that's another story. _ _ _ _ _ _
