“Suffering and Smiling” by Delight CEO is a hard–hitting reflection of the everyday reality Nigerians face. Delight CEO, a fast-rising artiste from the South East, steps into a deeper, more conscious lane with this motivational piece — using raw storytelling to point out the pain, pressure, and silent battles people endure across the country.
He captures a nation where everyone is left to survive on their own, where justice is almost unreachable, and where corruption drains the energy of the ordinary citizen. Yet, in the middle of all this, people keep smiling, pushing, and hoping for better days because endurance has become second nature.
This track is honest, emotional, and unfiltered — a voice for the streets, for the frustrated, and for anyone who feels the weight of Nigeria’s struggles. A true anthem for the forgotten.

LYRICS
Intro
Welcome to another wild called Nigeria
Also known as hell fire
Everybody on their own oh
Government no dey protect oh
Government no contribute oh
They will rather take from your hustle
Causing you pains and sorrow
And you can’t do anything
You can’t get justice
Is a corrupt system
We’re dead people walking
Existing not living
Even the trees that bear the fruit
Are watching us like TV
Chorus
Suffering and smiling ×2
We’re suffering and smiling ×2
Verse 2
Awo awo awo…
Poor man dey see chege
Even the rich, e no easy for them
We’re suffering and smiling
For more than 60 years
We dey fly away for our health issues
Is a big issue and a big insult
Suffering and smiling
Awo awo awo
Is happy slaves I see in here
Injustice I see in here
E go better, e go better
Generation keep passing away
We’re dead people walking
Existing not living
Even the trees that bear the fruit
Are watching us like TV
Chorus
Suffering and smiling ×2
We’re suffering and smiling ×2
(Repeat Chorus)
Awo awo awo
Verse 3
Religious leaders playing their own role
By keeping calming people down
As the people keep praying all time
The government dealing with us
We’re dead people walking
Existing not living
Even the trees that bear the fruit
Are watching us like TV
Watch us like TV
Chorus
Suffering and smiling ×2
We’re suffering and smiling ×2
(Repeat Chorus)
Awo awo awo
Awo awo awo
Awoo oh
