Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore has called on singer Burna Boy to join the #RevolutionNow protest planned for October 1, Igbere TV reports.

Sowore made the call in a message he shared on social media on Tuesday.

According to the former presidential candidate, many describe Burna Boy as a revolutionary musician and he has been likened to the late afrobeat legend Fela Kuti.

Questioning the musician’s activism, Sowore wrote “I am yet to see you lead anyone to a police station carrying a coffin for head of state!”

Sowore leads a group known as Coalition for Revolution (CORE), organisers of #RevolutionNow protest.

The first protest was staged in August 5, 2019 and the second edition on the same date in 2020.

Igbere TV reports that the October 1 protest is planned to hold in all 36 states across Nigeria as well as in London, Sweden, Netherlands, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC, Germany and Canada.

Burna Boy had not responded to Sowore’s invitation as at the time of filing this report.

The musician has, whoever, said he does not feel good about comparison to Fela.

“I don’t think anybody in their right mind would compare me to Fela.

“Fela is my inspiration and my childhood hero, so if you think comparing me to Fela is honourable, it’s actually not.

“It actually makes me feel weird. Fela was Fela, and if it wasn’t for Fela, there probably wouldn’t be any me, so I don’t understand the comparison,” Igbere TV reports that the Grammy nominee said in a GQ interview earlier in the year.

Odudufraud can't protest.






No Easterner should join odudufraud protest.

Abi he don join ni

Sowore abeg leave Burna Boy for us. Carry Helinues and ThatFairGuy1.

Watch how Yoruba people will make fun of Burna Boy.

There are many things to sing about in this country yet Nigeria musicians only sing about Yansh, drugs money, love, etc.

If Fela's alive he would be releasing at least 4 albums every year...

The songs he sang some twenty something years ago are still more relevant than the ones prosperity singing musicians are singing today.

Burna boy no want DSS wahala. Protesting is now a crime under this administration.

Even though I was all here yesterday evening, commending Burna boy, but really, if all these clowns and entertainers who call themselves activists are placed on historical scale or judged by real standard, all of them would be found wanting.
That is why I spit on ignorant people and shallow fans all over the world who go about regarding entertainers as legends. The word 'legend' is one of the most abused words in recent decades.
The world we live in now, is so much filled with ass lickers who rather follow the crowd than think for themselves.

What's legendary about an overpampered entertainer kicking leather ball around on a field or a froggy who sings blantant crap on the mic?

Fela wasn't that succulent-skinned boy, with a Saxophone inbetween his lips, blowing away crappy sounds to an audience of dumb people. NO.
This is someone who got his ass whooped real bad, many times by the government, in jail and hunger. He used his music to fight for the masses in a dangerous political era. Even while his life was at stake most times, he never stopped fighting.

None of these clowns called entertainers can do 1/100th of this.

Fact. Talking about it isn't enough. Na now we go know if na true african giant . All these celebrities na only mouth dem get just like most nigerians. Posting it, talking about it won't change anything. The protest is long overdue.

Truly Nigeria needs a change in the political climate.

Ok

I just wish this protest was carried out by another person entirely
U don't come out to request for revolution because you failed in ur presidential race.....

Having someone u trust to do the jobs would've bn better while u sponsor it in your own way....

No be all protest you go d carry for head na bro

If our celebrities can use their influence to join some of this protest sha...e go loud more..

OLUWA BURNA right now........

Mtchew

Sowore the joker. where was AAC during Kogi and Edo elections. noisemakers

Sowore you dey mad ni?




Di man ah bloodclaat sellout

This life you must be loyal to something+

Good challenge

I think Burna would like to raise his own idea k f protest not to join Sowore's.

This life everything is just money and loyalty.

Sowore should keep quite. Did he invite Burna when dem dey baptize General Buhari? Make Sowore enjoy the government that he assist in bringing to power. Sai Baba..
