There Will Always Be TALKERS In Every GENERATION! by BBBlaze: 6:22pm On Jun 21, 2017
Dear youths,

Many of you who commend Fela, call him a prophet with foresight and attend every Felabration would not have accepted him if you were grown then.

If the man were in out midst this period, many would have criticised and mocked him on facebook and twitter.
-Will accuse him of being an attention seeker (called govt officials names in his music)

-Call him a war monger (he sang against government)

-tag him a LovePeddler monger (he enjoyed women)

-complain his music is too razz (he spoke pidgin and said words like "yansh", "prick" openly too)

-call him a pagan(he was a traditional worshipper)

-call him stupid and a mad man (he went to prison many times but he wasn't silenced)

-insult his followers and call them worshippers (cause he had many of that)

-call him a weed smoking irresponsible idiot (he was a blazer)

-say he will burn in hell (cause he never hid his disgust for foreign religion like Christianity, Islam)... Etc

But today, 20 years after his death, the hypocritical youths who know nothing about what he stood for, really ignore these facts about him and tag him their hero.

Look, there will always be talkers in every generation. People who are the so called intellectuals who bash those who dare leave their comfort zone and be brave; derides those who wish to be creative (Even William Shakespeare in the 16th was called an imposter and an uneducated playwright by critics then, now who is known? Who remembers them?) , those who hold distinct views (Pharaoh Ikhanaton was thought be be mad), those who dare to be innovative (Galileo Galilei was prosecuted for holding correct scientific views). You insult courageous women(Joan of Arc was called a witch), insult brave people who take the bull by the horn (Moses was first called a joker), sneer at unconventional people (Jesus suffered insults for eating with immoral people). But many of you today celebrate these people forgetting what they faced in the hands of people like you; people now long dead and unknown to history.

History favours the brave. The general not the soldier; the lord, not the serf unless you decide to stop making empty chatter and become great.

Dear arm-chair critic aka keyboard warrior, you're very smart( sad) but when you die, you will be remembered only by your family who will still later die and no one will remember you in history. You will pass through this world unnoted. Such is the fate of your likes. Lol
