The "GEJ is a coward" thread did not go as planed (did not gather sympathy), its time to attack Buhari. grin grin grin grin

Fela was a thorn in their flesh, so he was imprisoned. If he was alive today, this government would have been the worst he'll ever see. Mama peace would have attacked him like they did Soyinka.

On-going research indeed. You're so jobless that you now research on Buhari and his arrest of Fela which happened decades ago. Why don't you channel your research on Boko Haram and suggest possible ways of ending the insurgency as a saTANist and tell us what JonaTAN has to offer in 2015.

Yeye dey smell!
What's wrong with this one now? Mtchew. Buhari's puppet.

Can anyone get me valid answers pls?

Mr. Seun, front page please... I need this info for an on-going research. Thank you my able mentor. smiley

Do you expect a responsible government to encourage Fela in promoting the smoking and abuse of Indian Hemp like your clueless Jona-than is promoting Boko Haram and Oil theft and bunkering?

When General Muhammadu Buhari came to power, there was wide corruption in the Second Republic. A decree was passed that nobody take out or bring in foreign currency into the country. Offenders are liable to 10years in Jail. This decree was to curb money laundering by politicians and corrupt businessmen.

FELA KUTI
Fela had performed abroad, he was paid in foreign currency in cash and had it on him on his return to Lagos. He was subsequently arrested for breaking the law and was prosecuted, found guilty and jailed.

PLEA:
There was a plea by human right groups to Head of State Buhari to "pardon" Fela, he refused because he believe that the law be served to the letter.

THE OFFENSE, GMB AND FELA:
First, there was an existing law/decree.

Secondly, Fela bringing in cash means it contradicts the law/decree, however, the money is from hard work.
Morally, he's justified! Legally, he is not.

Buhari had refused to grant pardon, because the law was broken. If he grants pardon, some section of politicians will accuse him of preferential treatment. He didn't because he believes in absolute discipline.
By law, he is justified. Morally, he is not, considering that it was Fela's sweat(my opinion). The law does not work with emotion unfortunately.

MY OPINION:
GMB should have pardoned Fela. The law should have made for exception. Buhari should have tampered justice with mercy

Did they hack this moniker?

Seems like it was only Fela that broke that law.

I have not heard or read of any other politician, musician or civilian that broke that "law".
