A French band delighted attendees at a state dinner in Paris on Thursday by performing P-Square's hit song “Testimony (Taste the Money)” in honour of President Bola Tinubu.
The dinner, hosted at the Palais de l'Élysée during Tinubu’s three-day state visit to France to foster closer diplomatic and economic relations between the two nations.
In a now-viral video, the band delivered a vibrant rendition of the Afrobeat classic, seamlessly blending Nigerian rhythms with a French flair.
The performance earned applause from the audience, including Tinubu and First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who appeared thrilled by the cultural gesture.
In addition to P-Square’s hit, the band also performed “Mama Africa” by Bracket, further celebrating Nigerian music on an international stage.

Because when you leave Nigeria and taste life abroad, you will quickly realise that:
having regular electricity power supply is not a luxury; getting fast internet connection is not a luxury; being able to eat 3 times a day is not a luxury; building good roads without potholes is not a luxury; driving a car is not a luxury; owning a phone or a laptop is not a luxury; having access to good education is not a luxury regardless of your social or economic situation;
being owed your salary for months is not normal, being threatened with jail or sack letter when you ask for your unpaid salary is not normal, being told to pay one full year rent ahead to a landlord (when an employer will never pay you one year salary ahead) is not normal, going on the road and hearing multiple car horns blasting everywhere all the time is not normal,
sending money to someone using a bank app and it takes them many hours or even days before they receive it is not normal; seeing govt workers at the airport blatantly begging for money at every opportunity is not normal; being asked for bribe when the police stops you on the road is not normal;
being stuck in traffic on a highway and having poor people (who should be taken care of by government) running and putting their lives at risk just to sell Gala on a busy motorway is really not normal;
seeing primary school teachers engage in beating a child with a cane and torturing a child with inhuman punishments because the parents are unable to pay school fees is actually not normal;
government owing retired civil servants their monthly pensions knowing fully well these old people mostly have no other source of income as they are too old to work and they will mostly likely die from hunger and illness without their pensions, yet govt owes them is really not normal;
being expected to “do weekend for the boys” when you get to the police checkpoint on a Friday evening is not normal; being scored a lower grade in your university course because a mad professor believes “A is for God” is not normal;
See ehn I am tired of writing,
When you travel abroad and you have a conscience, you will always look back and curse nigerian politicians for the evils they have done and continue to do.
And the more you think of all the above,
You will continue to be very angry and upset because you know these same Nigerian politicians travel to these places, they see how things work so well, yet they come back home to Nigeria and embark on a deliberate determined agenda to destroy our country, damage us all as a people and wreck all our future as a collective.

Nigerians in the diaspora are angrier with politicians back home than those living in Nigeria.

@Solomon_Buchi I would like to understand why staring is considered crossing a boundary.

This theory makes sense...because we as a people are just so so loud. And I think we have that reputation too 😃

As a Nigerian, your talking voice is a few decibels higher than normal because you have taught yourself to be audible enough to drown out the sound of generators and traffic coming through your window and your fridge’s steady hum that reminds you there’s still “light”

@YourBabysDoctor Arrogance + Ignorance is a horrible combo! Chai. 😅
