Barely 12 years after he sang the song 'Nigeria jaga-jaga', top Nigeria crooner Eidris Abdulkarim in an interview with Vanguard Newspaper said Nigeria is no more 'Jaga Jaga' while he express delight and confidence in the present GEJ administration.

It should be recalled that the song attracted a public outburst from the then president Olusegun Obasanjo.

***Read the interview***

*Since your last album it seems you
haven’t been active. What’s with you?

Basically because my kind of music talks
about ills in the society, and it needs
research which takes time, to know
what is going on, evaluate the present
government, then compare and contrast
with the past governments. I must tell
you that for the first time I’m very
positive about this government. In three
years, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has
been able to show Nigerians that there
actually could be development.

Refurbishing of airports

Our airports are being refurbished. See
our road from Lagos to Ore which has
been there for fifteen years — he has
done it. Now it’s three hours from Lagos
to Benin. Also the Lagos-Ibadan road
has also been there for years and Dr
Jonathan is doing it.

I am positive about this government and
it is my responsibility to use music as a
platform to promote what he has done.
NITDA is implementing the
Transformation Agenda by adding
values to the lives of our children,
making sure there are a resource
centres everywhere in the community
and it is a beautiful thing. I’m really
happy with the experience.

*So, Nigeria is no more “jaga-jaga?”

No, no no! Twelve years ago Nigeria
was jaga-jaga, but now Nigeria is no
more jaga jaga, even though we know
that the insecurity happening in Nigeria
is propaganda against government, but
Dr. Jonathan is doing his best and is
trying.

Eedris is right. GEJ's 1st term is better than OBJ's 2nd term.
But,
Last Bullet
He's sweat before winning in 2015 elections. That's if he can win sha.

Eedris needs some psych evaluation!
Ok, I guess he has received some US$

If Benin - Ore road was his only reason for the song "Nigeria jagajaga" then he might be right.

But Fyi "poor man still dey suffer suffer"
And there's still "gun shot ina the air"

One eye red the other white and his lips black.. I think he is mixed race

The guy is broke and needs some cash.That is why he is indirectly calling on doromoneyspender.

D guy is looking for appointment.

Seriously, someone confirm that Lagos - Benin is 3 hrs??

Wow!! That's good news really!

Truth be told sha, anyone in power with their right senses should be able to do these things, afterall there are allocations for them.

I never voted GEJ and still wouldn't...I'm waiting for someone younger, with fresh blood, enough of the fresh air...someone under 50, so far I haven't seen one. If it doesn't happen, I won't be voting come 2015.

Interesting!
