She said all what the song is about is that nigerians are sufferring silently and at the same time smiling.

49-99 is taken straight from Fela's song about Nigerians willingly suffering and gladly smiling. It specifically refers to the fact that Nigerians seem to relish the life of hardships and frustrations as aptly illustrated by daily situation in a typical Lagos Molue bus where 49 people sit while the number of people standing is 99.

I know Indomie generation especially the ones raised in certain 'privileged' areas would struggle to understand but that's not our problem.
