The video starts with a voiceover over the map of Nigeria: “To understand Nigeria you need to appreciate where it came from,” the voiceover says. “In 1900, Britain officially assumed responsibility for the administration of the whole of what we now know as Nigeria from the Niger Company.”
Burna spends his verse on a horse, while cutaway shots show the dark side of Nigeria. Several shots show a slew of lifeless men on the ground. Another shows two shirtless kids bearing knifes as big as they are. Then, a shot of townspeople assaulting a flaming car with baseball bats and tiki torches emerges. Burna Boy is aloof to the activity in the cutaways and toward the end of the video during M.anifest’s verse, he’s among the townspeople but never acknowledges them. The video wraps up with another voiceover.
Burna first caught mainstream attention in America with his “Ye” video, in 2018. Earlier this month, hereleased a video for another album track, ” Gum Body” with Jorja Smith. The pair evenappear together on Jorja Smith’s first single of 2019, ” Be Honest,” which surfaced last month.
