Dice Ailes Questions The Motive Of The Government On ‘No One’

The sad state of the country has brought out the inner activist in Nigerian musicians. While some have taken to the streets to join protesters in demanding a complete overhaul of the corrupt Nigerian Police Force, others, including Dice Ailes are leaning on their sonic powers to spark change. Usually, Dice Ailes is in high spirits on his singles, promoting good vibes and singing about his desires, however on his latest, No One, he’s in a sorrowful state, questioning the state of the nation.

“E get as e dey do me. O dun mi. Shey na like this e go dey dey now? Young man smile Policeman frown” is the pensive line that set-offs the single. Dice Ailes’s withdrawn demeanor mirrors that which has clouded the populace. Dice Ailes’s grievance is not just with the police force but with the entire government, one he accuses of manipulation.

Despite his use of tragic words, promoting its humdrum nature, the single’s percussion rife instrumentals are strong enough to inspire his listeners to get up in the same manner he has and demand change.
