Rev Sisters, the Nuns and the secular world are all dancing Buga. Does it make it a good song? Is Buga a good song for the Christian?

A line from the first verse which reads “you don work, you don try” speaks about appreciating the little accomplishments and milestones we made so far. It’s a line of motivation to those who think they’re not good enough to celebrate themselves. Truth is that no one can achieve everything at a go. Hence, that’s why we strive to make progress, so encouraging yourself for the little ones you’ve done would go a long way to help achieve greater breakthroughs.
A part from the lyrics which says “Kala gbowo yen o be (wicked in collecting the money)” suggests that as a Nigerian, never you be dull over what’s in your possession in life, because not actually everyone is normal. Some people are insane.
