“Koroba” by Tiwa Savage is a song that criticises social issues like corruption and hypocrisy in Nigeria. The title, “Koroba,” means “bucket” in the Yoruba language and is used to sarcastically suggest taking a share of the national budget, which has been allegedly stolen by corrupt politicians. The song also addresses the double standards often applied to women in relationships with wealthy men.

[Verse 1]
I no come this life to suffer
If I follow politician
You go hear am for paper
