After inviting Nigerian artiste, Burna Boy to join the #RevolutionNow protest on October 1st, Nigerians have called out on Omoyele Sowore to invite Falz who is the son of his lawyer, Femi Falana instead of Burna Boy.

Sowore had on Tuesday in a Tweet said Burna Boy is usually compared to legendary musician and revolutionary, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

According to Sowore, even the foreign media celebrate and compare Burna to Fela, but he is yet to lead any protest.

He wrote “Hello @burnaboy, everywhere I turn people describe you as a revolutionary musician, the foreign media even celebrate you compare you to Fela Kuti, but I am yet to see you lead anyone to a police station carrying a coffin for head of state! Join #Oct1stProtest #RevolutionNow”



Burna Boy who rejected the invitation said that “Everybody is a Fela fan and supporter now that he is dead. Humans are so Funny, You politicians are ALL the same (especially in Nigeria) and Frankly, I don’t trust any of you. ”

In further response, the former presidential candidate Sowore said: “I am not just one of the persons who you could describe as “Fela’s fan after he died,” I am a member of Fela’s household, ask @RealSeunKuti , as a student’s leader in the 90s I met and hung out with Abami Eda at home and the African shrine! If you want to be Fela be Fela.”


Reacting to the comments by both figures, some Nigerians urged Sowore to invite Falz who is a more Fela-figure than Burna Boy to protest with him.

@tony_divine81 wrote on Twitter “Femi Falana is your lawyer and he has a son that calls himself Falz, who is also a musician as Burna. Why are you not calling him out to join you in your national charade? Besides, why are you begging people to join you if you are on the right course”


@Amuaee “You’re not fighting for Sowore, d guy is bloody comfortable. You should fight for d millions of Nigerians who enjoyed ur music, yet have no access to basic of life. Also coming out openly to discard ds protest is giving d govt upper hand”

@mr_sobowale “Tuface later led the #votenotfight campaign. Falz created a platform where he exposed aspiring presidential aspirants for the stock they were made of and raised awareness on the need to vote right. You think filling Fela’s shoes is about smoking weed alone?”


@YorubaBoy_ “Falz is more of a Fela than Burn boy. you can’t even argue that!”

@Nsukka_okpa “If na by music Dem dey take carry person join protest, go carry Falz. Na him sing one full album untop injustice.”

@steveabbey_ “For me, Burna Boy is doing enough with his music. Falz is another musician who is also speaking up. Sowore is coming for the wrong people. Target those who aren’t doing a thing.”


@ButtyGhetto “While y’all are dragging Burna to a protest, let’s not forget Falz is also a music activist and we haven’t seen him in a physical protest for once. Abi i lie ? Man shrugging”

@OgbeniDipo “Sowore is right though. If you want to be associated with Fela you should have the liver to lead the people and demand better from the government.”

@blaqbouiy “Falz released moral instruction close to election period to warn us though Nigerians were deaf to his message, where was Burna boy then, buh now he is coming out to say yenyenyen after claiming fela Face with tears of joy baba we dey enjoy your music for music sake nothing more or less.”

@Cap_Leviiii “When it comes to activism through music, I’ll pick Falz over Burna any day. The only person that actually addresses the salient issues undiluted and not the one that puts the youths down to feel good about himself. “Come and put your words into action” werey dey disguise. Tch”

@iSlimfit “People might say Sowore is trying to make Burna Boy an instrument to actualize his agenda, but the point for me is that if you can talk the talk, you should be able to walk the talk. No be by calling people cowards in your song. I’m sure Fela won’t be proud right now.”

@ill_nojie “Burna boy claims fella blood flows in his veins but Yet he hates politicians.

I see that he’s only carry fela for business gains. Fela was a politician too like sowore and even contested for president”.

@Letter_to_Jack “Burna Boy: Nigerian youths are cowards, scared to fight etc etc. (from his album)

Yele Sowore: Burna Boy, join us in a protest against the government.

Burna Boy: I don’t trust Nigerian politicians, they are all the same.

So you didn’t know this when you were calling us names?”

@therealdaddymo1 “Burna Boy alluded to Nigerians being cowards in a song when it comes to standing up for themselves & I guess his refusal to take a stand when called out by Sowore hit a nerve. He claims to walk in the footsteps of Fela but it’s only in songs we hear this.”

@Letter_to_Jack “The point of Sowore and Burna boy’s exchange is: African Giant who is so quick to call the youths many names is running away from a protest invitation, deflecting and shaming the person asking him to join them. You knew this yet you called the youths names??”

@_TheThirdEstate “I see a lot of people saying trash about burner because he refused to lead a protest..people that cant tell their bosses to give them a day off. Any blood shed during the protest is just gonna be a waste for this country whether sowore or burna leads it”

@MrLekanAdigun “Sowore, as far as I’m concerned, is just campaigning for 2023. He can’t become Nigeria’s president even in his marijuana-induced hallucinations. If he campaigns from now till 2031, he’ll remain just the nuisance he is. Even drug addicts know that “Collorado” isn’t for small boys!”

All of a sudden this has become a talking point especially on social media. The same people who use social media to complain, wail and curse leaders are now the ones telling Sowore who to invite or not while taking sides. If I were Sowore, having seen that majority of Nigerians are not serious people who act when they need to, I will back down and face my life and career and let every person carry his/her cross. Nigerians criticize everything and want to be grammatically correct but the same people in their closet are having fever cos they can't afford to purchase even kuli kuli. You can't liberate people who are loving bondage. You no be Moses.

The host of Big Brother will make up to millions if not billion. Laycon, Nengi, Vee & Neo make millions too with alot of endorsement. But the voters lose money & gain nothing in return. Sowore isn't asking for money or vote. but to come & protest for our future & our kids future.

Nairalanders becoming sadist every now and then.

Sowore is another hustler.

If he truly wanted revolution he would have shared guns. And ammunition for boys. And see if there wont be actual revolution. Buhari will sue for peace by force.

When dealing with humans never appeal to thier emotions, the mistake sowore made . Nigerians just stood by and watch when He was picked up in the night and locked up like a dog. If he had done the needful dss going to arrest him will have it in the back of thier mind that they themselves may not return to thier families.

If you say it's a revolution then let it be a revolution


Wtf does peaceful revolution even mean ? Until we get serious here we will continue to endure nonsense.

If you re not prepared to get inside the ditch and fight forget it.

burna kid only pick fela trait of womanizing and weed smoking
And not his heroism
Very shameful he once called Nigeria youth lazy
Yet he can’t lead or participate in any protest
Whether political or not
Nnamdi kanu protest :he is a terrorist
Sowore protest:he is a politician
Oya lead ya own protest
Alas ,smoking weed and shouting twice as short
Nothing to show of it
Let me hear him again talk about politics
Falz is a man burna kid can never be ,even if he grow up

Free Burna boy abeg...

He is not rugged enough to handle Buhari regime and DSS

Both Falz and Burna boy would be malhandled so badly that after 2 days they might stop singing

Seat down carefully to listen to Fela's beast of no Nation and what Buhari and Idiagbon made him go through, 3 good years Fela was jailed , he spent so much time in jail that he actually felt much more comfortable in jail than on the streets of Lagos where police intimidated him daily



Only reason Reno Omokirikiri and Sowore are free to protest and talk anyhow is because they are CIA informants and strategic asset



.

...which makes sense!


After singing "This is Nigeria", this is the time for Falz tha bad guy to come and prove himself

Lalastic.lala

But why are south westerners like this ? Simple protest that IPOB conduct on a regular without calling out any musician is what westerners are doing ?

Shame no dey catch una ?

Correct Point
Please Don't Off the Mic

People should forgive Burna boy, as at the time pro-democracy agitation was burning, he was still sucking breast. He started school at the period history was removed from the curriculum.

I'm pretty sure many of his generation (Go inside pikin) also belong to this school of thought, they were born into a country that is not working, so they do not understand the value of struggle, yet they are lamenting over the state of the nation.

You cant force a man against his will

Sowore next time we will pick you,your jail time will be long, stuuupiiid fellow

Jafar1:
They will back out in the last minute, same thing happened with 2face few years ago

Out of fear for the dictator in Abuja...

Democrats is dead with Buhari

Peaceful protest is now a crime

God punish those supporting this demonization Administration

So Sowore is an activist? You guys are joking.

The Niggar is pained Buhari didn't give him Political appointment after his media campaign against GEJ. Sowore is a bloody opportunist.

His seized Passport is the only reason he's still in Nigeria.

May sense fall on all his nut lickers.
