Another week of surviving capitalism and T-Pain has come and gone. But what’s before us isn’t just any weekend. Friday is salary payment day, AKA the 9-5ers’ favourite day of the month. In the excitement and thrills of that credit alert that carries your company or employer’s name in its note, we made a playlist of Nigerian songs that justify your hard work and spending habits.
You only live once, dear. Enjoy your money, enjoy your life.
Billions — Sarz and Lojay
As a 9-5er, as you get up from bed on the 25th of any month, this song should be the first to play because you’re waking up to money. It’s the strongest motivation.
Money — Adekunle Gold
It’s only right to desperately call on money like AG did in the song’s chorus, especially when you’ve been praying for the salary week to come faster and the payment day finally arrives, but you’re still waiting for the alert.
Squander — Falz feat. Niniola
Now that money has entered your bank account, it’s perfectly okay to get your shoulders up and lavish on cravings. After all, you worked for it.
Commas — Ayra Starr
It’s a great feeling when your salary reflects the work you do. Even greater if the money still covers major expenses in this T-Pain era.
HEHEHE — Rema
This is your moment of ultimate flex on our debts, opps (if you have any) and all the cravings you’ve denied yourself before salary entered. They can be sorted now. What’s not to laugh at?
All My Money — Kashcoming
“All my money, take all my money to” is the most repetitive line in this song. We don’t support unwise financial decisions, but you shouldn’t deny yourself what you love to spend on.
Uhh Yeahh — Asake
If clubbing is how you unwind, take out that salary and go enjoy some overpriced drinks and loud music. You’ll never be a big baller until you ball big.
Whatever that means, the mood here’s a big “We are outside tonighttttt!”
Aye Nlo — Masterkraft and CDQ
This song tells me not to think too much about spending. Don’t worry about the house or car you could have built or bought if you didn’t spend your money on shawarma and other cravings. Enjoyment won’t pause for you.
Bank Alert — Ice Prince feat. Sarkodie, Magneto & Rexxie
If your ego (money) matches your ego, then by all means, flex it. In the famous words of Sarkodie, “Money no be problem.”
Owo — Reminisce
If your mood is spending cash like It’s an Owambe party, this Reminisce’s neo-Fuji jam is your fix.
