The 10 Best Nigerian Songs To Listen To While You Code

We all love music and like many other people, developers need it to function for almost every activity. So here are ten specially curated Nigerian songs to listen to while you code. Scroll to the bottom to play them as one YouTube or Soundcloud playlist.

1. Wo! by Olamide

If this song was a drink, it would be coffee. It’s great to start with because it has too much energy and life is short like nicker! Okay let’s get started, let’s do this

2. Juice by YCee and Maleek Berry

This song is a go to ‘feel good’ song. It gets you like “Yes, I’m Awesome and without me, this stuff can’t be done. So, let’s make some history”. We all agree that you need a lot of self confidence to write a decent line of code

3. Bumper to Bumper by Wande Coal

When the pretty lines of code are just following each other back to back. They don’t need to ask no questions just follow your leeead

4. Soft Work by Falz

Working remote and refusing to let python frustrate you like: “It’s the life we chose we could have been bankers, no regret this one dey pay pass.”

5. Something Light by Falz and YCee

When the client calls to add some interesting new feature to the project and they ask how much it’ll cost. Just “give me sometin light”.

6. Mama by Mayorkun

When you get stuck on something and someone gives you help on Square, this song perfectly expresses that gratitude and admiration

7. Bank Alert by PSquare

After a few hours of barely blinking and you just want to quit, you hear that “GBAGAM” and it’s better than any alarm clock. Just crack your knuckles and get back to work. You to your code: “Today na today eh and when I finish you go know sey na me eh.”

8. Ariwo Ko by Adekunle Gold

Binary numbers don’t lie and you don’t shout. Fixing every bug and you don’t make mouth. This song definitely helps with that coder humility struggle.

9. Pepper Dem Gang by Olamide

When the code runs perfectly, you gotta give them OH BABY. Fine code on fleek oshey oh baby!

10. The Matter by Maleek Berry and Wizkid

You’re almost done and it’s time to terminate all those statements and close those tags. Get back to the matter or just go to sleep because you’ve been working non stop and your brain is fried.
