Odunharry:
Naptu. Fela is leading the poll

Good one. That's the power of social media. Africans have basically been nonentities all these years, but not anymore, because blackberry made the mistake of gracing our doorstep.

SM is indeed very powerful. I trust many people will keep voting especially those who have not seen the thread.

As it stand now

Pochettino:
For me Iron Maiden deserves my vote not some drug-addicted, political thug & drunken sociopath that died in his prime due to poor life choices. The same misogynist that objectified we women.

Come be AFONJA again. Mbanu.

Well, to your disgrace mama flat head, the Afonja has taken over the vote and he's gonna win against all odds.

Even in death he's better than all your elders put together

Today standing...

Tribalism kill you there.

Pochettino:

Yes. He was about his smoking, drug abuse and eventual demise to AIDS.
Shameful

Yeah AIDs he contracted from useless women with thier brain locked in thier pussies like you.

Pochettino:


My papa never took drugs, smoked irresponsibly, wearing pant like a deranged lunatic, fucking anything female that moved, littering the earth with hundreds of illegitimate bastards and dying shamefully of AIDS.

Yh his lifestyle choices were self destructive.
But his music were something else.

I know a lot of ppl praise him but don't really understand how good his music was.

There's a reason why music professionals, legends around the world were awestruck by his music. From jazz legends to the Beatles. Serious musicians and composers not autotune pop singers.

I learned music production self studied, analyzed different compositions, but when I got fela's music, that was when I realized how bad he was.

His compositions are so complex, it was overwhelming. He was truly a master at is work. If anything deserves his the respect he gets. Actually he commands it.

So, who tha f*ck is your papa where Fela dey. Your papa smoked weed, f*cked ashawo, drink beer like crazy but you didn't know, yet who they f*ck did has he or did he become.

We all know how influential Fela's children are today despite all your accusations but who tha f*ck are you today. Daughter of Papa Saint

Cut the crap Fela no be your papa mate.

Op i just did a recheck now and it seems fela is still winning.

I'll make sure I keep casting in my vote every morning. The man is my icon and am grateful for discovering his music.
Just lyk dat
Authority stealing
Teacher don't teach me nonsense
Beasts of no nation
Shuffering and shmiling (suffering and smiling)
Coffin for the head of state
Overtake don overtake overtake

He's a legend.

you can help, with the corporation of other mods to sticky this thread, as a reminder to everyone so we won't forget.

Nonsense if Fela were to be alive he wouldn't care about this western bullshit!

Great suggestion!
Only, we can't duplicate this thread. So the stickying should be in this section at least.

Pochettino:


Shut up
Fela is trash

And what are you? Even in death he is still trending. Learn to appreciate people who have struggled to leave their footprint in the sands of time.

He achieved more than your pathetic subhuman father and and the wh0re you call your mother, he had more balls than Ojukuwu and all Igbo males combined....fela will win it and you'd only wail like a witch.

Pochettino:


My papa never took drugs, smoked irresponsibly, wearing pant like a deranged lunatic, fucking anything female that moved, littering the earth with hundreds of illegitimate bastards and dying shamefully of AIDS.

Your father was a piker who never achieved anything meaningful in his short miserable life.....his only achievement was giving birth to an evolutionary failure like you... stupid treacherous omo yeebos.

And some new born baby were comparing fela with Lagbaja on nairaland

Aniku lapo kuti

ShaqFu:
Not surprise. As usual Nigerians are never able to keep up with anything.

Well I have got news for u, Fela has overtaken her again.

Nothing wrong to hate Fela for who he was. Fine!
But your last statement is void of wisdom.

Hatred and envy for Afonja is what will kill most of you.

Afonja has been at the forefront of international music for time in memorial.

Name any Igbo that has done exploits in music like the Afonjas you hate so well.

Fella
Seal
Majek Fashek
Sade Adu
Tunde Bayewu of Lighthouse Family
Asa
Davido
Wizkid
Burna
Dbanj
Etc


Learn to have respect for other tribes of the Nation

forget weed or beer the man die young but his legacy still lives on .

If you hate him you are oyo.

Fela the greatest os still reconized abroad.
