Crazy guy with marijuana-scarred brain. Little wonder he married 27 wives and died of AIDS. God knows how many women he must have infected. His music is terrible. He had such good lyrics and could have been a great poet, but he never stayed sober for more than 5 minutes if at all. He could only be a hero to his crowd of area boys and such whose only education is the stupid nonsense he told them in his 'Shrine College of Hempology and Prostitution'.

You are free to take the high moral ground with your judgemental comments about Fela's lifestyle. But you will find that you are in a very small minority when it comes to Fela's musical genius. Your post clearly shows that the world is a very small place to you since you are unaware of Fela's influence outside Nigeria in both artistic and social consciousness terms. Fela was not a pretender during his lifetime, the whole world saw that and respected his genius. That is why there is a collection of songs dedicated to him from Nigerians and non-Nigerians alike. You would be shocked that the Nigerian Army band also made a song for him, how ironic. Anyway see below for a list of songs dedicated to Abami eda; some are even in other languages such as French, Spanish, portuguese. Each line has the artists first, then song title, and then Album (if I remembered it).

Dem come build the dam finish electricity come stop

"In 1966 civil war start to keep Nigeria one
I remember the slogan to keep Nigeria one 'the that must be done'
Dem kill plenty Igbos before the war and more during the war
Our leaders start dem show Gowon divide am into 12
Muritala and Obasanjo dem come divide am into 19
Shagari and Awolowo dem wan divide am into more
...just like that

Usually, I don't like the way people throw insults on this forum but in your case, I will make an exception. You Sir, are truly a first class buffoon with the I.Q of a diseased rat and the mentality of an area tout. Your father should have used a condom.
Hahahaaaaa!!!

"Nothing dey for town to give the youths good example
How our big people and traditional rulers dey do
They don spoil the tradition and corrupt all the town
They come make the youths look up to Europe and USA
In those place sef people don lose dem common sense
Na the number of nuclear and guns you get na im give you power pass

We Africa we must to start to think our own
In our tradition where human beings and nature grow
Where creativity and understanding must to be
Right now, think now, fight now, right now, suffer must to stop
... just like that!
