Three years after releasing a sarcastic song that pitched Nigerians against Ghanaians, the controversial Afro gypsy duo, FOKN BOIS, appear to have backtracked.
In their hit single ‘Thank God We Are Not A Nigerians’, which was considered to be in bad taste, the pair thanked God that they were not Nigerians as they ridiculed the populous West African nation.
Early this year, Wanlov who boasts of having five children in five different countries, in spite of the song, named his fifth child ‘Alata’ (Nigeria), which he said is in solidarity with “persecuted innocent gay Nigerians”.
And for inexplicable reasons, Wanlov seems head over heels in love with Nigeria. And he is currently learning how to become a Nigerian, contrary to the lyrics of their provocative track. The pair – Wanlov and M3nsa- were in Lagos Sunday to premiere their pidgin musical film “Coz Ov Moni 2” at the Freedom Park. And the controversial man was pictured in a library reading a book titled “How to Become A Nigerian”.
The photo was shared on Twitter by Nigeria’s Afropolitan and questioned whether Wanlov has betrayed his partner, M3nsa. But M3nsah responded to the tweet stating otherwise:
No, just preparing himself for the New Ghana :-) “@afropolitanvibe: @wanlov turns his back on @mensamusic pic.twitter.com/KBJcWCICXh”

Written by Peter Enahoro, the book categorised as a guidebook for natives and expatriates, pokes fun at Nigerians with concentration on their conduct and misconducts among other things beginning with a history of how the British decided to form the country.
Is it, therefore, the case the father of five is reading the book to gather more information on Nigerians to come up with a follow up to ‘Thank God We Are Not A Nigerians’? Meanwhile, the FOKN BOIS claim they are in Nigeria to secure more gas for Ghana to bring to an end the ongoing erratic electric power rationing.
