Why are people always looking for what is not lost

Nobody compares Fela and Wizkid...

Fela left Medical Science at Oxford to Study Music Major, Fela is one of the only true African Musical Professional, who created a whole Genre of music Afrobeat out of nothing

Wizkid is a talented legend as well but don't compare him to Baba Fela and don't try to rubbish his hard work and talent also




.
WizKid is talented yes but not a legend cos all they do in the industry I'd how to make money while making meaningless songs,well,all is for the money...

Fella in his time has made many words like:suegbe,shakara,pako,ITT, and many more popular all over Nigeria and beyond... What about different dance?, all are the hard work of a great artist,and if you can mention one or two of those things I alighted up there,or paste a lyrics comparison about the two,,then I'll say you have an argument...

Baseless talk.

People only rate Fela higher coz he is late. People respect the dead more.

Quoting Rick Ross "Niggaz only respect niggaz that's dead or niggaz in prison"


If you doubt the quote, tell me how many living peoples' face are on currencies. Na only dead people dey currency notes.

Nelson Mandela earned his respect for going to prison. Some of our former presidents have been in prison.

I have stopped urging them not to because they do so in ignorance.

It's like asking the indomine children not to compare chocomilo to Goody Goody. Do they even know what the REAL Goody Goody is in the first place?

Baba Fela na Orisa! No one compares!!! Wizkid himself will never do that mistake because he knows how far.

I am a born again Christian but honestly I respect Fela pass most of these church leaders you have today.

He reminds me more of the prophets of old than them. He's not afraid to call brutal dictators to order as Elijah and John the baptist among others did in their days.

I know of his excesses and negative side, but I appreciate and have the highest regards for the good and positive aspect of Fela.

I hope though that he got saved before the end of his life because that's the most important thing in life.

Prison, dead or alive, Fela isn't mate to the likes of WizKid.

Do you understand the meaning of being a musician and entertainer?

Both are world apart!
Fela created his own music, he could sing, plays; saxophone, keyboard, trumpet and other musical instruments(multi-instrumentalist), bandleader and a composer.
Hope you know how we came about "afrobeat" you listen to today? He's the pioneer of afrobeat!
Fela's music is one of the most difficult music in the world; he wrote all his music, writes; how all the instruments "must be played"( for hours none stop).

In fact, WizKid must be out of his senses for not coming out to caution people for going overboard!

Don't ever compare Fela to WizKid, they're not in the same class.

Many of una wey dey talk say they nor fit compare wizkid to fela dey talk rubbish. Is music all about been an activist? The next thing una go tell me be say I be indomie generation. You rate people based on achievements not just by words. Wizkid has achieved a lot more than fela if we are to be honest. He has broken all fela's record so what more is there?

Yes baba fela na legend but there's no champion forever. Even Michael Jackson, person go break him record someday just as Ronaldo and Messi Don break Maradona and Pele own.

Music nor be all about to insult government. I bet because Fela is dead you people are almost worshipping him. He wasn't even the best in his time. There were musicians from South Africa that were more popular than him. What about the Cameroon legend wey Michael Jackson remix him song?

But currently in this generation wizkid is the biggest in Africa despite the fact that the competition in the generation is crazy. How many musicians even dey for fela time? Make una dey calm down abeg.

You are not because you are talking nonsense. You don't have right to compare fela and any Pastor, no matter any reason. Do you know who a Christian is? What even brought pastor to this conversation is what I am even surprised at. If you speak of life style no matter how some may behave I have not seen any that come close to fela. Don't even go there next time comparing a Pastor and anything. How many times have you seen a Muslim calling up an imam in an issue. This is why Jesus said that the children of this generation in their time a wiser than the children of God. Because you are a Christian you can just open your mouth and talk anyhow.
