Faded Nigerian hip hop singer, Eedris Abdulkareem, was born Eedris Turayo Abdulkareem Ajenifuja to a polygamous family in Kano, Nigeria. His father was from Ilesha, Osun State, and his mother was from Ogun State.

Eedris was raised in Kano, and therefore, he adopted Kano State as his state of origin.

In 2004 Abdulkareem released his third album Jaga Jaga, a Yoruba term for a shambles, declaiming corruption and suffering in Nigeria. The title track was banned from radio by President Olusegun Obasanjo and from here, began the fall of Eedris.

Eedris insulted his fatherland. According the former president, Eedris hated the country and should not be allowed to amass followers dancing to the tunes of his divisive, lawlessness oriented belief about the country.

And to make you and I believe that even if Nigeria is bad today, it shall be good tomorrow.

All Baba had in mind was for us to believe in our fatherland, despite the challenges. He wanted to discourage negative and pessimistic statements as they are capable of distracting the government, heating up the polity and breeding disunity. He wanted to discourage hate sppech.

This was what Eedris never understood. Or better still, he was engulfed in his negative impression and lyrical presentations that seek to do nothing but incite lawlessness and disbelief in our Fatherland, Nigeria.

And Eedris fell!.

And in reference to Eedris’ 2004 ‘Jaga Jaga’ track, on 28th August, 2012, at a leadership forum , former president Olusegun Obasanjo reportedly asked how a sane person could call Nigeria 'jagajaga'.

Eedris didn’t relent. He took to his twitter handle to reply Baba…

"It is obvious that Obasanjo can't do without me. I am his joy therapy. Mr ex-president, Nigeria still dey 'jagajaga'. Infact, 'worst pass jagajaga'.

"President Obasanjo, if you truly love [President] Goodluck as you claimed, why don't you talk to your fellow Boko Haram member to let Goodluck rule in peace?

"Watch out for my new single 'Obasanjo na my friend'. hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

"Mr ex-president, I heard you were talking about me in your last interview. Hahahahahhahah, it's obvious you can't do without me. You are my 'mugu'.

"Obasanjo 'na my mugu oooo'. 'Na jeje I dey, you dey look for trouble oooo'. Hahahahahhahahahahhahahah.

"Obasanjo, thank you for making me a star. Infact, talk more about me. I am inspired.

"This is 12years after, innocent people are dying. Boko Haram is bombing hard and 'you say Naija no jagajaga? Mr ex-president, 'you be my mugu'."

That was in 2012…



Fast forward to 2017, where is Eedris Abdulkareem, the ‘Jaga jaga’ crooner, who thinks that insulting the country, inciting our youths towards a state of lawlessness and insulting the president of the country, will bring him fame?

Listen, you don’t become famous by insulting your father! You don’t become famous by being filled with negativity and pessimism!

You become famous when you abide by laid down regulations, do good to people around you, abide by the dictates of a constituted authority and preach love, not hate.

Fame, is one that has visited many Nigerian artistes, but none had to insult their father before they became famous.

Atleast, I know 2face!

And for you out there, I want you to know that you are part of the government. Whatever actions you take will either negatively or otherwise, affect the unity of the country.

People like Eedris Abdulkareem who go about preaching, hate, division and lawlessness should not be called brothers, for they have sold their souls to our enemies, enemies of Nigeria.

My enemy!

I know many enemies of Nigeria. Number one is Eadris Abdulkareem, who has been ‘jagadized’ by his inciting and divisively initiated ‘jagajaga’ rendition.

The only solution to his useless life is to come back, apologise to Nigerians for insulting us, then go apologise to Baba. Else, he will remain like that till thine kingdom come! Hahaha

Brothers, obviously, its boiling hot right now. But, do not forget that precious stones suffer the most precarious past. They pass through fire, heat, suffocation, burns, scratches, and what have you. Whatever bad thing you can think of. But at the end, it stands high above everything, everybody, every nation!

Please, say no to hate speech. United we stand!

Thanks.

obj wicked sha

ok

Is Nigeria not jagajaga Mr OP? Call a spade a spade jare. Eedris is right, were is the millions obasanjo govt ate on power? He is the grand father of corruption. Yet he claims to be holy.
And who told you that Eedris is finished? Many artists are into different biz bro, d, banj is on low key, likewise faze, African China, blackface, 9ice etc. That they don't appear in public doesn't make them finished OK.

God bless us all
