So Fela could have performe in outside Country,the Money he made over there he will dash it out or reject it because is not allowed to bring it back in his Country? Na goat keep Yam wen goat chop . making that law was wrong at the first place, so blame Buhari for that and also for jailing Baba 70 for nothing.
how rotten can your brain be? The law is trying to discourage money laundering and encourage the use of banks to transfer cash. Simple and short. Nobody said he shouldnt bring back his hard earned money.

I am amazed at how gullible educated and exposed folks on this forum can be.is Ignorance,stupidity or outright naivity the cause is just a mystery to me. Can't u all smell the deceit in the person who posted the thread. What better way to paint Buhari black than by suggesting our beloved Fela was improsened(for whatever reason) under Buhari administration. Knowing fully well the mind set of Nigerians in quickly blaming without reasoning first. I dare say d poster has succeded going by the commentries of most people. Anyway to set the record straight. A law was in existence which Fela ran foul of. He was found guilty by a competent judge(not Buhari) and sentenced accordingly. In short i see no cause to bring Buhari name in this unholy thread.Another example of trying to smear Buhari name.
Stop being so emotional about Buhari that does not know you or care about you! How dare you call members of the forum stupid and ignorant because of a former dictator, Buhari? Is that you how well vested you're in knowledge and you don't know that the same Buhari's government allowed an emir with so many suit cases to pass at the airport without a check? Or do you mean selective justice is also an attribute of your 'righteous and faultless' general? Learn to keep your emotions at bay when online. You can make your points valid without resorting to insults. It's barbaric and childish.

Hello JonaTAN e-worriors, mark my word today, no amount of lies told against Buhari will affect his presidential prospect. We need a change and come 2015 God almighty in his infinite mercy will effect the change in favour of the masses.

In conclusion to the bolded, General Mohamodu Buhari Rtd. is callous and wicked for sending Fela to TEN YEARS Imprisonment for bringing his hard-earn money into the country

May the soul of Fela Anikulapo Kuti and the many innocent Nigerians killed unjustly in Nigeria continue to hunt their killers by Fire & by Force.

The "GEJ is a coward" thread did not go as planed (did not gather sympathy), its time to attack Buhari. grin grin grin grin

Fela was a thorn on their fleash, so he was inprisoned. If he was alive today, this government would have been the worst he'll ever see. Mama peace would have attacked him like they did Soyinka.

APC is just full of LIES!! FELA was innocent, Buhari was witch hunting FELA for exposing and writing a song about the 2.8 billion dollars that got stolen while buhari petroleum minister in 1978.

you will pay the penalty for lying against the innocent dead.

This is the TRUTH:- On 4 September last year (1984), minutes before leaving the country for an extensive tour of the US, Fela Anikulapo Kuti was arrested at the airport of Lagos. Fela was supposed to have carried 1600 English pounds with him instead of the maximum amount of 50 that one person is allowed to take out of the country. An accusation that Fela’s defense did not deny but explained by pointing to the 45 people in the retinue of the musician. And 1600 divided by 45 is nowhere near 50pounds it was just that all the money was in his pocket as the leader of the troupe

When travelling as a group do you keep relevant papers and BTA in a common pool or each individual is expected to be in possession of what he or she legally needs?

On-going research indeed. You're so jobless that you now research on Buhari and his arrest of Fela which happened decades ago. Why don't you channel your research on Boko Haram and suggest possible ways of ending the insurgency as a saTANist and tell us what JonaTAN has to offer in 2015.

If you are intelligent, you should know the place of history in any polity. Without yesterday, there won't be today. Without history the mistakes of the past is gonna be repeated. Do not let sentiments becloud your reasoning. Stay blessed.

I thought Fela was unjustly convicted by Justices Anya and Justice Dosunmu?
When did Buhari becomes a high court judge?
And by the way, I thought it was Idiagbon that achieved everything and Buhari was only sitting down chewing gworo?
Why is the credit for jailing Fela not going to Idiagbon but Buhari?

Not true this was false allegations sent to media by "5th columnist" a section of the military covertly led by IBB who were trying to undermine Buhari's regime, whilst they plotted other throw Buhari

when you ask such question like this, also ask why Mr GEJ pardoned Al mustapha and why he pardoned Alamieyesiegha. Decree 4, april,1984 law. false allegation against govt officers shall go to 3 months imprisonment without trial. Buhari is strictly a disciplinarian, Fela accused Buhari of saying "Nigerians are useless, senselezz and indiscipline whereas it was Idiagbon that said it. Fela accused buhari wrongly, base on this issue Fela was wrong and guilty bfr he sang it again in 1986 "Beast of no nation". fela was aware abt foreign money decree but due to his radical act he refuse to obey and abide. law is law, once it has bn made you are expected to abide by it. or why cant he changed the money bfr he enterd nigeria, Nevertheless, am still a strong supporter of Anikulapo, i av his poster, big one that cover a side of my room. i can sing the whole of his song off hand. lest i forget, to curb corruption and to mk some pple a scapegoat, Buhari implemented RETRO ACTIVE LAW, to call back those who av stolen Nigerian money bfr his regime. i pray Buhari will get there in 2015. okonjo iweala will turn to usain bolt, stella oduah justlin gatlin, Deizani okagbare.

So, a man, such like Fela, a Hero known worldwide, can not bring his earnings back home ? God punish Buhari.

And after they could not silence Fela, Buhari and his Oligrachs, went ahead to poison him with cyanide, and gave his Iscariot brother 200m to bastardize his brother as HIV carrier just to shame him. I am not bothered about that, but what I am bothered about is, why Buhari and his Oligarchs chose to make him die on by BirthDay. God will punish Buhari, cos now my birthday falls on igbo smokers day.

Adieu Fela, May Buhari not know peace for trying to quench your voice. So, a man like Fela dont have right to bring his foreign earnings back home ?
