Just after when Bad Girl Riri (Rihana) gifted the world her hit single "Umbrella" which got the world dancing, Nigeria's Olubankole Wellington popularly known as Bank W (Mr. Capable) couldn't resist the vibes, so he jumped on the beat and he did a fantastic cover of the playlist smashing hit which he titled "Ebute Meta". Little did he know that this cover would later be his first-class ticket into the limelight, as Banky W would later venture into creative marketing, advertising, PR, brand events, acting, and Politics.
Bank W signed his multi-million naira deal with one of Nigeria's telecommunication giants; Etisalat after the song "Ebuta Meta" went viral. Banky W one more time delivered a hit audio jingle for the telecom brand, the song was such a heavy hit that it enjoyed a lot of airplay. By the way, the music was a little prophetic if you ask me, because Banky W wore Etisalat's official color as his major costume.
Let's vibe on the hit monster titled "Ebute Meta" one more time. See lyrics below:
Laser-sharp hairline shaped by Dominicans
Mr. Capable is back with his pad and his pen again
Catch me in the Bronx politicking with mami's
Blowing up like I'm more juiced up than Rocky
Mad cause your girl fell in love with a black man
And yes I'm so African, tell by my accent?
And yes I'm Nigerian damn right I am packing
And yes I'm the future the rest of you are past tense
I rep Naija
Whether I live near or far
I can be out in Yankee
Or even posted up in Jand
See u gotta know who u are
Even when you hustle hard
Just follow your dreams
And you can be a superstar, because
U can cross rivers in Calabar
U can so rock out in Abuja
Riding Okadas in Benin
Doesn't matter we gonn make it out to the end
Whether your up north in Kaduna
Or getting your hustle on in Anambra
Riding through traffic in Lagos
U can be from Ebute metta, metta, metta, Ey Ey Ey
From Ebute metta, metta, metta Ey Ey Ey
From Ebute metta, metta, metta Ey Ey Ey
From Ebute metta, metta, metta Ey Ey Ey
Make u rep Naija
Whether you live near or far
You can be out in yankee
Or even posted up in Jand
Make u know who u be
Even when you're hustling
Make u follow your dreams
Even if you're from Oshodi Oshodi Oh
U can cross rivers in Calabar
U can so rock out in Abuja
Riding Okadas in Benin
Doesn't matter we gonn make it out to the end
Whether your up north in Kaduna
Or getting your hustle on in Anambra
Riding through traffic in Lagos
U can be from Ebute metta, metta, metta, Ey Ey Ey
From Ebute metta, metta, metta Ey Ey Ey
From Ebute metta, metta, metta Ey Ey Ey
From Ebute metta, metta, metta Ey Ey Ey
We can make it, Naija we can make it
If we only keep unity, keep unity
We can make it, Naija we can make it
If we only got unity, got unity...
