Released in 2000, Lagbaja’s "Suuru Lere" (patience is profitable) is a socially conscious Afrobeat song urging Nigerians to have patience with the country's early democratic process while criticizing corruption and the "share the national cake" mentality of politicians. It advised both leaders and citizens to move beyond hypocrisy to build a better nation. 

Key aspects of "Suuru Lere" include:

• Context: It was released following the return to civilian democracy in 1999 after years of brutal military rule, urging patience during this transition.
• Political Commentary: The lyrics directly address politicians' corruption and the struggle of average Nigerians for basic amenities.
• Message: The core message argues that to build a successful democracy, citizens and leaders must embrace patience, suggesting that lasting change is better than superficial, immediate gains, as described in the YouTube video for the song.
• Humorous Narrative: The accompanying video features a comedic narrative involving crowded, reckless driving to reflect on the chaotic nature of Nigerian life, notes The Culture Custodian. 

The song remains an important piece of Nigerian social commentary from the early 2000s, notes this article from The Native Mag.
