What Fela Said About Buhari And North... A Must Read For Youths by COdeGenesis: 11:11am On Jan 04, 2022 |
I recently stumbled on Fela's song BEAST of all Nation and I was amazed about how everything he said about Nigeria 32years ago when BUHARI was in power is still manifesting today. I thought I should dissect the lyrics to think through his thoughts. I feel is a great MUSICIAN and activist. Here we go: LYRICS PART1 Fela wetin u go sing about o They go worry me They go worry me worry me Worry worry worry worry They go worry me The time way i dey for prison I call am inside world The time way i dey outside I call am HAUSA world Na craze world No be outside world Craze world Fela throughout his career was a target for the Nigeria Government because of his vocal stand against the poor handling of the country by the leaders. When he was jailed, the prison was saner than the outside world. After spending 5 years in jail he was released. He, however, saw that there so much nepotism with the HAUSAs occupying major positions in the country just like today and there was equity in the prison than the outside world. He called this outside world a CRAZE world. 1 Like 1 Share

LYRICS 2: He gave reasons why he called the outside world HAUSA world. The reasons were captured in his lyrics which you would agree with me were valid. The Hausas were highly placed in the POLICE, MILITARY, COURT, MAGISTRATE. The Hausas killed christian students in IleIfe and Zaria. The Hausas jailed anyone who openly condemned their bad governance and stood for the rights of the people. The country then was ruled by Buhari. No be HAUSA POLICE dey ee Craze world No be HAUSA SOLDIER dey ee Craze world No be HAUSA COURT dem dey ee Craze world No be HAUSA magistrate dey ee Craze world No be HAUSA JUDGE deM ee Craze world Na craze wall be that Craze world No be HAUSA Buhari dey ee Craze world Na craze man be that Craze world Animal in craze man skining Craze world Na craze wall be that Craze world No be HAUSA idiagbo dey eee Craze world Na craze man be that Craze world Animal in craze man skining Craze world Na craze world be that Craze world No be HAUSA them they find me guilty Craze world No be HAUSA them jail me five yeearz Craze world I no do nothing Craze world No be HAUSA them judge they beguo Craze world Na craze wall be that yoo Craze world Na craze wall be that Craze world No be HAUSA them kill them students Craze world Some went to Zaria and ifé Craze world Na craze wall be that yoo Craze world Na craze wall be that Craze world No be HAUSA all this dey happen Craze world Na craze wall be that yoo Craze world ×4 Na craze wall be that yoo o Make you hear this one o

LYRICS 3: The government of Buhari brought up a new policy on Indiscipline. The War Against Indiscipline was announced in March 1984 by Tunde Idiagbon, the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters[2] and the launch event was held at Tafawa Balewa Square to much fanfare. The military government of which Idiagbon was a member had seized power on December 31, 1981, and a key underlying reason given for the coup was unprecedented, rampant corruption and indiscipline within the political class. Prior to the coup, newspapers wrote articles alleging corrupt practices within the Shehu Shagari administration, including fraud in the housing ministry and external communications agency, bribes given to Central Bank officials to obtain foreign currency, and government-supported hoarding of rice. Government officials and the political class lived in luxury, while the civilian administration began a policy of austerity. When the military took control of the government, they established measures to impose order and discipline within the country. One of those measures was the War Against Indiscipline, a comprehensive program to correct many social ills that the new military ruling class perceived to afflict Nigeria. The government said the Nigeria people were indiscipline, senseless , corrupt and useless. This statement was echoed by Buhari recently when he said Nigerian youths are lazy. However, Fela wasn't having any of it and raised his displeasure about Government's insensitivity in the lyrics below Power against indiscipline o Na nigeria government oo Them dey talkioo My people are useless My people are senseless My people are indiscipline Na nigeria governmentioo Them dey talk be that My people are useless My people are senseless My people are indiscipline I never hear that before oo Make government talkioo My people are useless My people are senseless My people are indiscipline Na nigeria governmentioo Them dey talk be that Which kind talk be that tioo

Fela was a bad ass fearless, another person as vocal and no nonsense as him is Sowore, jailed many atimes but still standing dogged and unshaken. 1 Like |
