I recently stumbled on Fela's song BEAST of all Nation and I was amazed about how everything he said about Nigeria 32years ago when BUHARI was in power is still manifesting today. I thought I should dissect the lyrics to think through his thoughts. I feel is a great MUSICIAN and activist. Here we go:

LYRICS PART1
Fela wetin u go sing about o
They go worry me
They go worry me worry me
Worry worry worry worry
They go worry me
The time way i dey for prison
I call am inside world
The time way i dey outside
I call am HAUSA world
Na craze world
No be outside world
Craze world

Fela throughout his career was a target for the Nigeria Government because of his vocal stand against the poor handling of the country by the leaders. When he was jailed, the prison was saner than the outside world. After spending 5 years in jail he was released. He, however, saw that there so much nepotism with the HAUSAs occupying major positions in the country just like today and there was equity in the prison than the outside world. He called this outside world a CRAZE world.

Some musicians are prophets

LYRICS 2:

He gave reasons why he called the outside world HAUSA world. The reasons were captured in his lyrics which you would agree with me were valid. The Hausas were highly placed in the POLICE, MILITARY, COURT, MAGISTRATE. The Hausas killed christian students in IleIfe and Zaria. The Hausas jailed anyone who openly condemned their bad governance and stood for the rights of the people. The country then was ruled by Buhari.

LYRICS 3:


The government of Buhari brought up a new policy on Indiscipline. The War Against Indiscipline was announced in March 1984 by Tunde Idiagbon, the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters[2] and the launch event was held at Tafawa Balewa Square to much fanfare. The military government of which Idiagbon was a member had seized power on December 31, 1981, and a key underlying reason given for the coup was unprecedented, rampant corruption and indiscipline within the political class. Prior to the coup, newspapers wrote articles alleging corrupt practices within the Shehu Shagari administration, including fraud in the housing ministry and external communications agency, bribes given to Central Bank officials to obtain foreign currency, and government-supported hoarding of rice. Government officials and the political class lived in luxury, while the civilian administration began a policy of austerity. When the military took control of the government, they established measures to impose order and discipline within the country. One of those measures was the War Against Indiscipline, a comprehensive program to correct many social ills that the new military ruling class perceived to afflict Nigeria.
The government said the Nigeria people were indiscipline, senseless , corrupt and useless. This statement was echoed by Buhari recently when he said Nigerian youths are lazy. However, Fela wasn't having any of it and raised his displeasure about Government's insensitivity in the lyrics below


Power against indiscipline o
Na nigeria government oo
Them dey talkioo
My people are useless
My people are senseless
My people are indiscipline
Na nigeria governmentioo
Them dey talk be that
My people are useless
My people are senseless
My people are indiscipline
I never hear that before oo
Make government talkioo
My people are useless
My people are senseless
My people are indiscipline
Na nigeria governmentioo
Them dey talk be that
Which kind talk be that tioo

Fela na Prophet

Buhari has always been evil and hate-filled dictator from the unset .

It's only inndomie generation that don't know this !!!!

Fela was a prophet

Fela was a bad ass fearless, another person as vocal and no nonsense as him is Sowore, jailed many atimes but still standing dogged and unshaken.
