You got it. Beast of No Nations is his deepest, meaningfullest song IMO.

If you find yourself now scurrying to listen to it again, thank us later.

You have to follow every lyrical construction to arrive with him gbam at the conclusion that ..." our Leaders were BONN"! Did you also know that a high level UN conference was held in the City of Bonn (Germany) just before that time the song was released?

Genius!

S'funny, this morning I found myself saying "East West Bloc vs West Bloc East" in the shower this morning.

The visionarian!! Beast of no nations was basically ridiculing high level politics especially the United Nations- that's why he said 'Disunited, United Nations'.

He also made mentions of VETO votes and how disjointed and hypocritical the UN was and currently is. This song is actually one of the best of Fela's musical genius but didn't get the critical acclaim it deserves because it was targeted at the west!

All hail Fela Abeg!! He revolutionized the way people look at music and life. He is the king of the underground spiritual game!

Unfortunately those days of good music are gone.

All we get now from these untalented medicores are "Daddy Yo", "Fall On You", "Mad over you", "Pana" and "Emergency".

At least you mentioned a song by the Dbanj you hate so much among the list of popular hit songs.

Shamefull hypocrite.

1. Original Sufferhead (1981)

This song describes the problems and sufferings that abound in Africa as a continent, despite its rich resources. He condemns the ‘big big man’ and ‘white man’ for taking up everything and leaving nothing but suffer and anguish for the average African man.

This song, released over 20 years ago sadly still applies greatly. The economic disparity between Africa and other continents is displayed in the fact that basic resources like food, water, electricity and the likes are still unavailable to a large number of people living in this part of the world. Such disparities are even found within countries, where we have the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

5. Coffin for Head of State (1981)

This song also condemns politicians. Here, he speaks about the corruption that abounds in religion, especially by hypocritical leaders like Obasanjo and Yar’adua. These leaders were the most corrupt people in the world, killing and stealing from innocent people, yet they openly condemn such activities and hide behind Christianity and Islam.

Today, we still see a great deal of corruption and hypocrisy in the guise of leadersgip and religion. Our leaders are still stealing from us, but yet are the quickest to attend church programs and quote bible verses.
