Music duo, FOKN Bois made up of Wanlov the Kubolour and M3nsa has incurred the wrath of many, especially Nigerians, for their latest track Thank God We Are Not a Nigerians.

According to several comments from social media, the lyrics of the song, recorded two weeks ago, is distasteful and insulting to Nigerians and must be banned immediately.

Part of the lyrics said: Kofi is a common name, that’s what even I say, But a Ghana man will never call a child Friday, Thank God we’re not Nigerians. You like school more than any African I’ve seen, Simple thirteen, you still say tharteen, Thank God we’re not a Nigerians…,These and many more have opened the ‘flood gates’ of insults on several social media sites creating tension between the two brotherly nations.

But Wanlov the Kubolour, a member of the group has laughed off the attacks mounted on them saying there is nothing wrong with the song if only those bashing them know who they were.

Wanlov speaking in an interview with Myjoyonline.com said, “If people read deeply into the song, they will know what is really going on with the lyrics. First of all, we didn’t even tell one lie in the song.”

M3nsa’s wife, he disclosed “is Nigerian, so his daughter is also Nigeria. He is always eating eba [a lot of] Nigerian food; they have pounded yam and the rest. When am there that’s what I eat, I go to Lagos a lot, I have a lot of Nigerian friends and artistes. So we just did it in a certain jest.”

“If you are a Nigerian who knows FOKN Bois, then, you won’t be worried because you know that we love Nigeria more than the average Ghanaian. You have to know who we are to understand the song, if you just take the song as two people who are saying something then you will get angry, that one I can’t blame you.”

The words of the song, he stressed, are just for fun and if one pays close attention to it, the song is rather bashing Ghanaians stating, “Nigerians are very proud of their traditions, their accomplishments and so on and we look up to them. By us teasing them, we are really teasing ourselves, Ghanaians, because we wear more suits than the Nigerians.”

He said the song which was supposed to hype up fans ahead of the Ghana vs. Nigeria football match, scheduled for August 9 but was cancelled due to riots in London should be taken in good faith as there is nothing wrong with two 'brothers' teasing each other.

The song is part of several other ‘teasing’ songs on their yet to be released album, FOKN Wit U. The album is however expected to hit the market by close of year.

Wanlov and his Afro Gypsy band just returned to the country after what he tagged as a hugely successful European tour.

Kofi is a common name, that's what even I say

But a Ghana man will never call a child Friday

Thank God we're not Nigerians

Always shouting very loud, don't know how to whisper

And why say Mistor, instead of Mister

Thank God we're not a Nigerians

You like school more than any African I’ve seen

Simple thirteen, you still say tharteen

Thank God we're not a Nigerians

They ban the whole team, you can’t even play

Can’t you just say Hi, what is Ki lon sele

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

You barely qualify, then  get stuck

President Goodluck but you still suck

Thank God we’re not Nigerians

Instead of Hamburger or Pizza with ham

You eat Egusi with pounded yam

Thank God we’re not Nigerians

Always trying to show off, even when you eat

One soup, no vegetable but twelve different meat

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

Fela was a great Musician, yes of course

(Inaudible) something drugs

Thank God we’re not Nigerians

You created Nollywood,yes more of it

But too many witches and wizards in your film

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

Always in traditional wear everywhere

Haven’t you hear of Armani wear

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

For example shining five piece agbada

You can look very good in Dolce and Gabbana

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

Not going anywhere fast, let’s just stroll

Traffic everywhere, many bad bad roads

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

No street light from Oregun to Ikeja

Four four, join join two two on okada

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

Extra page in your passport to pass and go

You have learn very well from Obasanjo

Thank God we’re not Nigerians

Email fraud, Pyramid, 419

Oh that’s not fine

Thank God we’re not a Nigerians

But at least you are better than Liberians

So thank God you’re not a Liberians

You gotta admit, it is kinda catchy.
