~Bluetooth: so you wouldnt have known abiola's connection with itt if fela hadnt sing that song.thanks to fela then. Let me tell you,fela never believed in democracy neither in the democratic nationalists.he was a social critic who only saw his mother and Nkurumah as his hero.he was not happy at Abiola's rapport with those in the corridor of power and to this day,nobody questioned abiola for corrupt practices concerning ITT .if you have any proof,please you can post them cuz i'd like to see
guy stop acting like you are in la la land. This is Nigeria money talks bool$hit work$. So it is only those people that have been questioned for corrupt practices that have questionable behaviors? WHy is EFCC not worrying OBj and IBB then?
Even those that were hounded like a dog e.g RIbadu and el rufai why are they let off the hook all of a sudden? Please never use nigerian corruption meter as your basis for who is corrupt or not
SEFAGO: Bros you get sense- most PhD holders are clueless about anything outside their field Dont be silly again- this thread was titled concerning drugs and not ITT. Fela Kuti did have a grudge against Abiola. Its possible that abiola was probably fronting/stole money- but was he really a drug lord?
If Abiola was a drug lord- you think the US would not be aware of this? With the CIA/FBI and everything everywhere- His family is well respected in the US and when the elections were overturned the US were not happy. However, I doubt they would have been that helpful to a drug lord.
By the way Fela as an afrocentrist- made a lot of ignorant comments. He saw things in the larger picture, not the baseline- which is required to understand the problems in Africa. Instead of blaming the problems of africa on the people itself- he spent too much time complaining about oyibo people
Ofe mmanu please be posting comments as someone that is enlightened, so the u.s only support people that are holy? Didnt america support saddam against Iran? Is america not supporting hosni mubarak in egypt? Didnt the u.s support the fedayeen against the soviets in Afghanistan?
Please America is not GOD so whatever they endorses shouldnt be the alpha and omega
all of you trying to crucify mekuxxx are dodging the question of the thread
Abiola indeed was a beneficiary of ill gotten wealth
Is mekuxxx a triablist? Hecks yea he is just like a million tribalist we have here on NL
bodsibobo: I was once in a queue at the Home Office in one country trying to extend my visa when the young man in front of me (an Igbo chap), while being attended to by the Home Affairs official claimed he had a B.Sc. in Fine Arts. I nearly died of shock!
mekusxxx, are you that guy??
funny enough i was watching this show on you tube UK Border force i saw this young man with multiple aliases and multiple cat mark (obviously a yoruba guy) who was caught by uk immigration officers, Can you imagine they saw a S.African passport in his bag with his pisho and this guy deny flat that it wasnt him (even with all the mark in his face evident) na wa o,
I deny all accusations and allegations levelled against me
On a serious note am not, Cant u remember fela song I.T.T and how he exposed abiola, Obj and other unscrupulous members of society? Maybe u were too young.
well my personal opinion she is old, I dont watch nigerian movies anyway so the few times i saw her at a friends house she was young now with all the make up she looks like an ezigbo mama madu (correct pesin mama)
Ok Ijebus are not yorubas, thats the same thing equating ikwerres as not igbos, all these focks who dont know shiieet would come here and be spewing shieet from knowallnothing to olanajim am not even going to mention that slowpoke who claims he is in new york
Da grin this Da grin that ah ah let the poor boy Rest In Peace,
Who is better than who is all relative/subjective and not absolute/objective. I can come and say Bright CHimezie or oliver de coque is the shiiieeet, considering these are people who tend to a particular segment of society,
Lets be honest with ourself his core fans are usually in the yoruba speaking areas, I for one felt like Pon pon pon song delivery was dope video was tight but its not like i will cop his album (I can dance to what i dont understand but wont spend my ego on what i dont understand), He had a particular niche and non yoruba speakers happen to not be in that niche,
bk/babe97: ^^^So, u can authoritatively say how a castrated kangaroo acts??!!? lol. These Ibos!!! lol. Where the hell u seen a kangaroo in Biafra?? First they claim to be Jews, Now this dude comes from nowhere and claims Ibos are kangaroos Australians!!! wow. When yall lies gone stop?
my lies gon stop as soon as you stop sucking on your fathers d!(K
tosinaded@: Mode9 ati Mi bawo? Abi una dey siran ran? Omo go streets,see as the educated to the area boys dey sing dagrin songs word 4 word! Last time such happend was wen fela died! Dagrin was the streets jor. .only d streets wld rep the streets!
Lagos is not Nigeria, Lagos is a part of Niigeria, So if the street in lagos knew his songs how about the street in the other 35 states? Although I personally felt he was well known but if Benin boy say im no get too much clout in his area why argue? Afterall you dont reside there,
yemmight: You are a fool, how do you talk about yoruba without odua? You're real igbo boy without any history.
at least learn to read before you write like an slowpoke.
this is what u wrote before,
yemmight: And Yorubaman made this place available for all you haters to post. You must be ingrates. Either u like or not Yoruba rule and others follow.
and this was my reply below
igbo boy: yoruba rule yoruba finish, commot odua land and see if yoruba even get mentioned, ethnocentric fool
infact let me reword it for your illiterate a$$, So i said outside of yorubaland/odualand, yorubas/odua peeps dont get mentioned,
