Which nigeria huh

A very rare photo of the Kuti brothers from Nigeria. Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti and Professor Olikoye Ransome-Kuti all from the same parents and a bl00dline of activism.

The trio is known to have made marks that have enriched Nigeria's history in different ways.

Fela, the Afrobeat creator, was a bone in the necks of various governments and administrations, especially the military juntas. With his songs, he drove his criticisms down the spine of the various heads of state in Nigeria. For his activism, he was arrested multiple times and sent to jail many times too, mostly on trumped-up charges.

Dr. Beko, a medical doctor, was another very popular activist of his time. He gave the military governments a run for their money joining the likes of Gani Fawehinmi, Prof. Wole Soyinka and such other globally revered crusaders.

Prof. Olikoye, another medical expert, however, was not an activist in the real sense of the word. He put his energy into serving the country as Minister of Health in the same government that his two brothers cr!ticised so strongly. It is to Olikoye's credit that Nigeria initiated the Primary Healthcare system to bring healthcare closer to the grassroots.

What is your family doing to make Nigeria great?

Grammy just honored him week ago, go and read about his history you will see the greatness

Fela was a radical and the bad governance and govts in Nigeria which he fought against made him a timeless hero.
But musically, Grammy award is not evidence or stamp of greatness! There are many great musicians that never won Grammy.
The award given to him is due to Nigerians linking him to the current ''Afrobeats'' sound, which is actually false.
There is no link between what Fela played as Afrobeat and the current Afrobeats genre, both of which actually originated from Ghana's highlife, hiplife and Azonto sounds.
The names sound similar, but there is no actual connection or link between the two. The fallacy of ''repeated lies becoming the truth''!

What would Fela have done if he finds Nigerians fighting themselves over an established set of thieves(ADC)campaigning to replace another set of thieves(APC).

Nigerians are indeed the problems of Nigeria. Watch how ADC would be filled with “cross carpeters” from the ruling APC and from other political parties should they assume power……🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is God not wonderful?

Imagine a child with no biological lineage, no education, no classmates, no nothing (according to you and your fellow traducers) rising to becoming the Governor of Nigeria's most prominent States, Lagos State - the Centre of Excellence, then becoming a senator of the FRN and ultimately, the very big one - the President and C-in-C of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

No be God?

You, with all your biological lineage and whatnot is a languishing nonentity just managing to survive on a daily basis.

Truly, it's not by biological lineage or manual labour but by the favour of God Almighty to rise to such an enviable position in life.

Who better pass you don better pass you.

Stop the hating!

Respect to the legend Fela. Imagine he was alive when Tinubu was campaigning to be president, he would joined to likes of the respected thespian, Pa Adebanjo to resist him. He was a true Omuoluabi in the order of Awo. Not the fake ones we are seeing romancing with all sorts of crooks politicians

Chai, how time flies. I witnessed Olikoye saying on a media briefing pertaining Fela's death that the Afrobeat king died of Aids related cause. I thought he should jave been a bit defensive.
