10 'cool' songs to survive the Nigerian heat

Our country is hot. That’s the complaint on the streets, in the churches, offices, clubs and everywhere else.

For some weird inexplicable reason, someone switched on the extra heat button of the Nigerian weather, and everyone is getting systematically cooked. We are attacked on streets by the sun, and at night, that heat lingers, slowly sweltering everyone as we take our deserved (and undeserved) rest.

Why this is happening, no one can say, as our local weathermen hide behind big words and jargons to explain the heat problem. We have gave up on searching for answers.

But worry no more. Pulse Music has got your back, and we have dug through our recent archive, to bring you 10 cool songs to help alleviate your pain. These songs are meant to make you relaxed and in control of your sanity. As you lie helpless and feel the heat ravaging your body, we are dedicated to save your mind via music.
