The family of Fela Kuti would rather not vote at all in 2015 than vote for Jonathan as a way of protesting the sentencing of the Fela by Buhari.

...and you so lazy, brainwashed and dumb, that's why you can't research evil Buhari your new found angel. Being that you were not yet born during buhari era, you should be smart enough to research and not just swallow all the lies they filled your empty head with.
What other research on BH? when we all know they buhari and apc errand boys.
your Yeye smell pass!

berem:
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!

Law says don't , you did, and you expect the law to fold its arm?

I believe in war against indiscipline. This is just the right step.

We've tried PDP, we've tried GEJ, nothing to show for it.

Change is here...

God bless GMB.

GEJ government would do no such thing bring dollars into the country when it is outlawed ....They would rather take dollars out in a jet. Give fela lifetime pardon and allow him sing at eagle square.


barcanista:
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

Fela was truly a legend but short lived. His Brother (Beeko ransome Kuti) was a snitch because he pronounced and declared him HIV positive saying Fela died of AIDS. Still crazy world I think. Animal dey wear Agbada, animal dey wear sokoto.

I ignored your first post but just need to understand the reason for your balderdash.

Banicansta did a perfect job though.

What do you understand by the bold part you keep mentioning? If i understand what money laundering is, the man fela did not commit a crime, if he is going with 45 people as confirmed in your post, dividing that amount found on him among those people or are you saying those people should not be taken care of?

An over ambitious soldier who who led fellow rascals to destroy destinies!

Fela was a man that has my highest respect.

Do you know that he rarely criticised Buhari.

He was highly critical of Thief Obasanjo and MKO Abiola.
