where the head of the statue now? As an artist and based on my own personal critique, this statue just looks unfinished because of it's lack of a head. the great personality of the great Fela and what he really stood for could have been captured and magnified through the countenance of by the facial expression of Fela through this statue. I would just say that the sculptor og this statue just left out the head because of laziness and lack of skill to capture one of Fela's facial expression through this statue.
I wonder why Fela's children approved this statue

I hope this governors are not up to sometime.. Dey re just erecting statue anyhow

NwaAmaikpe:



I loved Fela

Why will a state governor erect a statue in honour of a hard drug abuser and an AIDS victim?


This is wrong at all levels of morality.

We don't cherish what we have until we lose it.



During the time of the great Fela Anikulapo Kuti, he fought for the rights of average Nigerians by speaking out using his music



During his time, the corruption rate wasn't that bad, because we had people like Fela that was fearless, unlike what we have now.



He opposed Nigerian dictators which later cost him his life.



Fela's protest songs covered themes inspired by the realities of corruption and socio-economic inequality in Africa, He was a voice for the voiceless.


He was arrested over 200 times and his family members beaten but still kept fighting for the small people.



I pray if we would have such a man again.



Rest in Peace Sir

We had it, but since he was not Yoruba, it was okay for the Military to disappear him from his Father's palace.

A Legend...

A Prophet of a kind.. .
A legend in the mind.. .
A man heart of pain...
For a masses to gain....
A man of love..Yet hate by all,

What a Prophet?
He never have a religion,
His words are more of prophecy,
His lyrics are not just words,
His rhythm are not just drums,
His music are not just noise, but are
Voice for the voiceless and Hope for the hopelses.

His home he open for all,
Whether black or white,
Small or great, rich or poor,
His love for the down trodden is unfathomable,
His passion for justice is unequivocally,
His desire for equality is beyond this page,
His hatred for injustice is so emphatically,
His message for the religious slavery is undisputed,

His enemity with corrupt government is overwhelming,
His view on the looters call leaders is not bias,
How we wish he lives on, but he is a mortal
And all mortal must died, 20 years after is death,
More than 40years after his major song were released,
The songs are ever fresh every day,
Because he is a prophet...

Should we call him a Prophet?
Nope let call him a man who sees tomorrow..
He sees the fear in the masses faces to fight for freedom little wonder he sing "my people sef , dey fear too much"
He sings about "suffering and smilling" Imagine a graduate without work, imagine a worker without Salary after six months "suffering and Smiling.
Oh He sing about our present leader
He sings about $2.6billion missing today $26billion missing. What a Prophecy?

A medical student to be..
No he follow his calling the Underground Spiritually Game,
He taught it was just a music but he never knew,
His rhythm and rhymes will change the music world forever,
He never knew his music will be more deadly than pen, gun, bow and arrow,
He never knew through this music calling he will be famous than his Father,
For him it's just to sing, only did he know it's a Calling..
When He yield to his Calling a Prophet was born that beget a Prophecy...

Like the Prophet of old
His music turned him to Matyrs..
He was subjected to all form of inhumane,
He was beaten, he was batterd yet he never deter,
He called the enemy yet the people loves him the more
The more he was called the criminal, the more his Prophecy becoming so so Real....

How can I write about a man whose Prophecy outlive his reign..
How can I pen down the attributes of a Prophet whose Prophecy has been there before I was born,
Tell me how will I described a Prophet whose Prophecy is a thorn in the Flesh of our looters,
Tell me how will I script a Prophet who have no ministry but his message prick men's heart,
How I mean how a Prophet without religion but has so many disciples..

Little wonder
To many musicians he becomes their Legend,
To many learner he become their Mentor,
To many Looters he become a Thorn,
To many Afro he become their Beats,
To the truth Lovers the stage his not complete without His Rhythm..

His Prophecy like a still voice in the wind...
Was not bound by boundaries,
Was not cut by Culture,
Nor tame by Time,
Nor buried by Power,
Not even Fracture by Force,
The Content was not contain by Colour,
The lyrics hound by Race,
The message was not exterminate by Ethnicity.

No wonder his voice is heard from far and near echoing
Are ra ra Oro roo ro..
Welcome to the spiritual underground game.

Splendid

Still better than Okorocha's statue of Zuma

Meanwhile one idiot is erecting the statue of a court president in owerri. While Nigerians are being killed every minute in south Africa. Show me your friend and u will tel you who you are. Like Zuma like okorocha

Datz cool,not rochas dat erecting zuma status...thunder go fire dat rochas.

Some of the pple he sang about still dey rape us. bulharry and obj

BUT YOU VOTED FOR PROPHET BUHARI NOW

wiringdp:
we lose it

Ba'rawo banza

Lloydfolarin:
Igbos! Igbos! Igbos!

If the statue in Owerri was erected in recognition of a Yoruba or Hausa man contribution to their region, this hate-personified children of South East ll be here by now screaming, whining, lamenting, crying and wailing against Yorubas or other Nigerians.

The children of hate even deprived their young generation from having vaccines via their fellow Nigerians out of hate just like how Ojukwu deprived them from having their meals during the civil war just to spite Nigerians and show the whole world that his people were not being fed by Nigeria govt.

But a statue of president Zuma was erected in Owerri yesterday and these fools couldn't say anything despite their kinsmen plights in South Africa.

These are the people being killed in South Africa every passing day but decided to reward the president of the same country with a statue.

Maybe, when Yorubas and Northerners begin to treat them like South Africans, they ll begin to reward us with all sort of statues.

IGBOS NEVER SUPPORTED THE APC GOVERNMENT. AS A MATTER OF FACT YORUBA MUSLIMS ARE THE REAL CHAIN-JI AGENTS. ROACHES OKOROAWUSA IS A PRODUCT OF THIS USELESS GOVERNMENT

I can't see any statue .... is that fela
