Issakaba, which is an anagram for Bakassi is a 2001 Nigerian film produced by Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen that is based on true life events. Issakaba is regarded as one of the most influential African films of all time. It  revolves around the Bakassi boys, who emerged as a youth vigilante group due to the increase in criminal activities in South-eastern Nigeria. They targeted robbers, occultists and kidnappers but were however accused of carrying out extra-judicial killings. They got the name Bakassi from the oil-rich Bakassi peninsula, which lies between the Cross-River estuary in the Annang-Efik-Ibibio region of Southern Nigeria and the Rio del Ray estuary in Cameroon.  </div></div><input type="checkbox" id=toggle17><label for=toggle17><span class="annotate-lyric"> Give me your bakasi oh <br/></span></label><div id=content17 class="annotate-explain"><div class="annotate-text"> He wants a woman to give him her "bakasi" (in this context, it means bum) because her body is explosive. </div></div><br/> Your body looking like tsunami <input type="checkbox" id=toggle18><label for=toggle18><span class="annotate-lyric"> Explosive, hiroshima, nagasaki <br/></span></label><div id=content18 class="annotate-explain"><div class="annotate-text"> In August 1945, the United States of America detonated two atomic bombs (the world’s first deployed atomic bombs) over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.
