LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Nigerian award-winning singer Burna Boy’s “no evidence, you go explain tire”slang has been featured in a recent examination in the University of Uyo (UNIUYO).
A Facebook user, Effiong G Victor, shared the examination question paper on the social media platform, adding that the way the school sets exam questions leaves him in awe.
The exam, written on Monday, 21 August, was for 400 level students of the History and International Studies Department, with the question, “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?.”

Victor further observed that the singer’s saying appeared under the section of ‘Critical Philosophy of History’ as the number five question.
The copy of the examination question paper, which surfaced on social media, has, however, elicited mixed reactions among users.
Commenting, Jane Alia said, “I don’t see the big deal here. Normally, if you studied, you go fit write. Just find out whether the lecturer prefers you repeating their notes or you writing from your understanding.”

Confirming the incident, Doris Chimdiebere said, “This my HOD is something else. After writing his exams, your brain will just be turning on in own. This man will lecture from morning till night without getting tired.”
The viral slang originated from Burna Boy, during the singer’s Instagram live session with fans some weeks ago. The singer said, “If you no make am, no evidence say you try your best.
“You go dey explain tire, You go 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.
