A popular quote by Nigerian artist Burna Boy, “No evidence, you go explain tire,” has been used in a University of Uyo (UNIUYO) exam. A Facebook user named Effiong G. Victor posted the test question paper on the social media site and commented that he finds it amazing how the school constructs exam questions.
The singer’s statement was listed as the fifth question in the Critical Philosophy of History section, according to the gettrhack.con website.
The exam, written on Monday, August 21, was for 400-level history and international studies department students.
The question reads: ‘How is the nature of history demonstrated in the trending cliche of Nigeria’s music icon, Burna Boy, that: “no evidence, you go explain tire”?’
How Burna Boy’s saying came about It all started during the singer’s Instagram Live session with fans some weeks ago. While speaking, Burna said: “If you no make am no evidence say you try your best.
You go dey explain tire.” “You go explain explain explain because no evidence say you try your best if you no make am.”
Fans, however, picked out the line, “You go explain tire, no evidence”, and popularised it.
