Remember that Fela was sent to study medicine in London.

But when the Afrobeat crooner got there he changed his mind. He decided to study music. Note that he didn't change his mind and turned in to a human right activist or that which you have been thinking of him.

He even formed his Koola Lobitos band before he started speaking against the government that he later wanted to join.
Yes at a time he campaigned for president! But he failed and returned to do music which he originally ventured into in the beginning.

What I want you to know is that the insult and all the attacks Fela directed at the Nigerian government then was all part of a stunt to further his musical career.

The FREE e-book "Why You Must Lie To Succeed" is where I will cover more on this subject about the kind of lie Fela is guilty of.

I know that the subject of lie is not a new one to us. But the problem is that some of us are sons and daughters to Reverends, Prophets,
Imams and Bishops
. So we have lie as an obstacle to achieving SUCCESS.

No! It shouldn't be any more. Because even your heroes like Fela, Tupac and the rest didn't just become who they were by completely avoiding lie!

Note: I meant no harm, am a lover of Fela's music and message, but I just want you to know that to succeed he too lied! And that is the fact. I can prove that to you with hundred of examples here

Do you agree with me that Fela actually lied his way to stardom? If NO, why
#WymLts

Na you sabi ...mtscheeew #wakapassjoor lying to sell your book too is part of the tactics!

^^ abi o

e can pain sha.....

Op,u don try!

bigtt76: Na you sabi ...mtscheeew #wakapassjoor lying to sell your book too is part of the tactics!

Bigtt is not what you might think. This subject about our heroes lying to get what they want has been thoroughly researched. With enough illustrations.

I have got prove to back up my claims. Even there are biblical examples like the famous king of Babylon--Nebuchadnezzar too

Besides this is not a matter of selling book. Because the book of course is gonna be free for a long time...

So its a matter of revealing to my fellow innocent citizens that would listen, the tactics great achievers has implemented to get to that place they are. And also to be careful and alert, when we listen to their lies on how they have got what they have now.

omiobo: Op,u don try!

Thanks OMIOBO

Besides I like your user name lol

You see some times we have to go back to the past and see what really happened!

Don't forget that in 1969 when Fela went to Los Angeles, he met Sandra Smith, who introduced him to the black power movement.

So when the Baba 70 came back to Nigeria his orientation about life changed!

Just like that. You can imagine, nothing involve? Come on let's be realistic here. If truly he was a born human right activist he could have started fighting for the Nigeria public (as the majority believes) right from home.

Not wait until he traveled to LA to be orientated.

It's very simple to understand...

Lakotai:

Hmmmm....I say u don try. Well,I'm currently reading a book titled"why you must not lie" I think you should get one

Blah the blah the blah.

Thanks

philip.adesola:
Blah the blah the blah.

Funny YOU PHILIP...lol

Sorry I make you speechless
But it's not me, is Fela that did (wink*)

I understand your tactic is lying to achieve in life in selling a book.

Fela isn't remembered for his morality, the man made good music.

Tolexander: I understand your tactic is lying to achieve in life in selling a book.

Tolexander, it's not a matter of selling a book please...

before this book, thousands of authors has lied to us and gain their way to limelight. But still you still read their books and other junks.

Of course. I can compile my findings as a blog post, but how far will it spread and reach the very person I am actually writing the book for. That very person that need a permission to lie or to make great things happen!

Regardless of, if lie is involve or not.

In the first thread I asked you to give me reasons why Fela is not guilty of this lie. But you haven't. Why. Why attacking me instead?

I thought this is a public forum...

tellwisdom: You are a foolissh boy for saying Fela was lying..For your information. Fela has not told lies before

Tellwisdon its not like that nah.

Did you read the first thread of this discussion?

I am actually writing this book for people like YOU!

My friend. Don't forget that I too love Fela like you. But I have chose to let you know one thing about the other side of a hero me and you so cherished right from birth.

Fela is alone in the grave, you are disturbing him....if he wakes up and his ghost disturb you, you will run mad

why dont you accuse the living and leave the dead

tobechi74: Fela is alone in the grave, you are disturbing him....if he wakes up and his ghost disturb you, you will run mad

why dont you accuse the living and leave the dead

Hahahahahahahahaha.
Tobechi you are indeed hilarious!

Fela and his story is just an illustration. It's a prove to show those I am writing for that they are not the first to lie to succeed and they won't be the last!

Perhaps Fela's story is just not an illustration. it's a FACT!
It's that just my fellow Nigerian Fela disciples are just scared to admit the truth.

we all know this before. U can only bamboozle people that doesnt know much about Fela with this your BS
everyone knows that he wasnt that involved in politics in his early life

Good marketing keep it up!

Crassus:

Moreover, is there anything wrong if he was not a born human rights activist? People can change at anytime and choose a path they believe in. If he became an activist criticizing Nigerian government after he came back from abroad, that doesn't mean he lied. Why don't you just itemize those things he said that you consider lies against the government for all to see here. Although I agree with you that one can lie to succeed but I don't think this is applicable to Fela. Please, be specific with Fela's lies before we can take you seriously.

ok leave story, we don hear your jist, stick to topic.m.How much be the e book? No lie ooo

biafranqueen: Good marketing keep it up!

Oh! Madam, is that how you see it? Does it means that as a citizen of this great republic, am not qualified enough to point out some issues disturbing us as a Nation?

Deep down in your heart, you know that when you try to talk me down its not a fair play.

But one thing is certain those that want to consider my observations will! Am talking about those that judge Rationally not EMOTIONAL PEASANT!

Ogbeche77: ok leave story, we don hear your jist, stick to topic.m.How much be the e book? No lie ooo

Ogbeche, you should be glad that you find yourself in an era where even the richest informations that caused a fortune to gather is free. Yes that is it.

I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF SELLING THIS BOOK!

The first thread has a link, that will lead you to where you can get a free copy of the book.

It's very simple to understand...

when he was at home his eyes were still in the bleak. sometimes you think your fathers farm is the best (nigeria) untill you get to another farm dat is best than your fathers farm. when fela got to foreign land he realise that his home were not in order he had a change of mind. he diverted his way. shikena. op you need to read a book titled enternal woes await all liars.

Lyk seriously?? Is this what we should be bothered about at this point in Nigerias existence, are you kidding me? So we are not bogged enough with the distractions on the news, you want to throw in trivial discussions as this and you say its not about marketing ? What do u plan to achieve by pointing out his lies?? Dat he was human afterall and did we actually think him a saint? Ohhh God the devil is distractn d youths of Nigeria, they look but cant see, they search but cant find..... All i see is someone who should have channeled his time writing a book to ignite the fire of revolution and change trying to riddicule a dead man ova 90% of Nigerians will readily skew ur head frm ur body because he said more truths dan any1 today in dat same field he was would even try to do, hell.. Dis kids updere today dnt even care abt d govt n u want to criticize d only human we last remember using his talent to awaken our sensibilities ....may God not allow me argue n die for a trivial issue dat will not change 1 thing even after i have left

Mr Man, have a sit. Whatever it is, every1 lies, even your father. So I'm trying to get what your point is, cos I dnt get why u'll be interested in meaningless things such as lying. Have you eaten? Everyday someone on Nairaland raises the bar on irrelevance and sheer thirst for attention, Hoe sit down!

why do you trouble the died? what has the living got to do with the dead? Pls leave d lengend alone. peace

How funny. So the dead can not be used as an illustration again?

Discussing about Fela, is meaningless?
But wait, what is NairaLand all about? Is it a forum for Nigerians like You and I?
