Just For Fun: 4 Nigerian Songs You’ve Been Singing Wrong All Your Life by simtosul: 4:47pm On Jun 18, 2016
Everyone waxes nostalgic when they
remember their childhoods. If you had
a bad childhood, don’t worry I’m about
to ruin the ones of those that had good
ones.
Growing up in Naija, we had some
songs we’ve been singing since we
were toddlers. We learnt these songs
and joined the multitude that has
been singing it wrong for ages.
Here are some songs that many
Nigerians have been singing wrong
since they were kids:


1. Sandalili Sandalili
Every primary school child from the
90’s knows this song. We sang it and
we were proud. But did you know
we’ve been singing it all wrong
since time immemorial?
The correct thing is Standard living,
standard living.
I wonder how we made the jump
from standard living to sandalili.



2. The most excellency is Jesus
This is another song many Christians
sing. I bet you will hear this when
you go to church on Sunday. The
correct wording is:
The most excellent king is Jesus.
Don’t worry, it is okay to cry.


3. Jangilova epo motor
This was another favourite of us
when it comes to playing games. I
wonder where we got Jangilova
when it is:
Jingle over like a motor


4. Osingo Osingo, Praise the Lord
This song is actually “O sing my soul,
praise the Lord”. But as Nigerians,
we have invented our own version
lol.
