Young03:

Better country with the same idiot as president since 1982. Fvcking 35 years bro.

You better know what you are saying

LastSurvivor11:
I too love Africa but unfortunately hate Nigeria as a Nigerian..

The gay "eyed" guy by the left shaa

We can all try make Nigeria great

There is something special about Nigeria that makes her loveable and hateable at the same time

Nice one

Adekunle, I have begin to suspect you with this your beret.

Sorry for the one life lost, but many lifes were saved thanks to the ever responsive men of Lagos state fire service

RIP to the soul lost

ATERI:
Yea, that mind game was the reason why Keshi won AFCON!

Don't mind him spewing trash

deb:
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT MIND GAMES AND PLAYING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MIND GAME.

MOST BLACK-AFRICAN COACHES ALSO DON'T KNOW IT ANYWAY, SO WHY SHOULD YOU KNOW?

First of all, you typing in all caps doesn't make your point meaningful if its content is senseless. Is not only psychological mind game, you will see epidemiological soul game

His mates around the world are commissioning expansive roads, mega energy project, massive water plants, enormous monuments etc. This guy is commissioning a petrol station

Where do we get all these clowns as leaders from?

Talk is cheap Mr. Roar.

Instead of roaring, can you do us a favour by qualifying for AFCON and world cup first.

Nigeria didn't go to AFCON this year, and the world didn't come to an end.

Nobody ask you question

Madam Rakiya Adamu, the last time I check, you are not an authority when it comes to state affairs

Buhari spokesman should come and tell the country where their Oga is and what his health condition is

Terrible!

The amount of blood being shed in the country on a daily basis is astronomically unbelievable

But why are people this wicked

John Brazil?

Seriously bro, you say what?

Ok we don see

Terrible

Nigerian border is just too porous

Tell us what is going on

TeamSimple:
Why? Eczema fit dey dere?

Nope, your brain fit glue there

Osinbanjo, watch your back!

Come to think of it, this is 2017, and they are still running this country like it is 1960s. Everything is closed door and secretive. Nobody has a clue of what is going on, but we continue having this gut feeling that there is surely something not right.

They better do

Fadahunsi:
Well, it wasn't obasanjo who bought the Mercedes, it was Shehu Shagari!

Did the same doing Shagari tenure, but that time around, he used the Mercedes to carry pepper. But the dog dressed in Agbada was symbolic for what he meant by calling soldiers animals in Agbada

Efewestern:
I remember when he said religion was a scam, at that tym people do think he his a mad man.. but look at things now.. isn't he saying the truth?

"allah bukar , na so them dey deceive black man"

you know the song right?

I believe you are talking about Music Against Second Slavery (MASS).

Bunch of clowns

Why is that when issue of public protest comes up, that's when we remember who Fela was and what he fought for? Abeg leave Fela out of this. Please someone should inform Mr. Gordon to go do his research on Fela before displaying his ignorance to the world. Fela did not only use his music to fight the government, he protested in person. Every single day Fela went out with his entourage on the street of Lagos there is a public protest against the military government. In late 1970s when Obasanjo military government bought luxurious Mercedes as official cars, Fela bought several of the same Mercedes cars, dressed his dogs in Agbada and parade them on the streets of Lagos implying that military government are animals in Agbada. To him luxury cars are nothing, and government shouldn't be wasting taxpayers money in buying luxury cars, rather they should provide social infrastructure for the people. And please don't compare Fela to those names you mentioned.

Efewestern:
And to think some ediots like his post is saddening , fela and 2face name shouldn't be on the same page, it's an insult to True freedom fighters, 2Face is a coward.. yes I said so. he his a big coward.

All naija celebrities are coward, None like fela jor. I got a documentary abt him on my pc, I think you need to watch it it's titled "Finding Fela".

Trust me bro, I have watched that documentary. I am so much into Fela messages, and when I see things happening now, I just giggle because I have heard them in Fela songs and interviews years ago. I always tell my friends that in history of music, the only person in the same level with Fela in respect to messages in their songs is Bob Marley. Tupac is close but not up to their level.
I won't say anything about 2face and the protest, I respect him and I wish him well.

Efewestern:
Abeg leave NL Kids, they know nothing

I feel so insulted by his comments. He is certainly a kid that doesn't know his right from left

ZeroTolerance:
By the way did Fela ever lead a public protest?
If it's by music Tuface also sang anti government songs.

Another off point from you. Like I said earlier, I won't insult you, I will continue taking the onus to enlighten you. Since you get some likes, I'm sure it's not only you that have this screwed up knowledge about Fela. You asked if Fela ever led a public protest . Are you freaking kidding me!
Not only did Fela lead several public protests, he lived almost all his adult life fighting against govenment oppression, corruption and maltreatment. These were brutal military government of Obasanjo, Buhari, IBB and Abacha. At the height of his public fight with the military government, Fela established his own republic called Kalakuta republic and he decreed that his republic is not under Nigeria government. In 1979, the military government invaded Kalakuta republic with one thousand soldiers, burnt down his house, raped his wives and killed his mother (Fela's mum led one of the most outstanding public protest in Nigeria in 1949). After his mother was killed, Fela staged one of the most jaw dropping public protest the world has ever seen. He led thousands of people to Dodan barrack carrying his mother's coffin, he dropped his mother's coffin in front of the head of state office and dare them to come take the coffin.
In his song, "coffin for head of state", he said

So I waka waka,
we go Obalende,
we go Dodan barrack,
We reach them gate o,
We put the coffin down,
Obasanjo dey there,
With him big fat stomach,
Yar adua dey there,
With him neck like ostrich,
We put the coffin down
Dem no wan take am,
Dem must take am,
Who go want take coffin,
Dem must take am,
Nah the bad bad bad thing we dem don do
.......

ZeroTolerance:
After all the Fela gra gra where are we today?

If it were before I would have abused the sh.it out of your ignorance ass. Since you are entitled to your opinion, I will not insult you, but I will take the pain to enlighten you and others like you on the impact Fela made so that you don't continue displaying your ignorance everywhere

You call what Fela did gra gra and that we are no where afterall. I will tell you what Fela did while he was alive. He condemned military rule and brutalization, he sang against inflation, he sang against oppression, he against about embezzlement, he sang against corruption, he sang about emanticipating ourselves from colonial mentality, he sang againt neo colonialism, he sang about favouritism and nepotism, he sang about Nigerians being brainwashed by religious and political leaders, he sang about black power, he sang against bribery, he sang against money laundering, he sang about sycophants, he sang about the sorry state of Nigeria and the reasons why we found ourselves there and what we can do to liberate ourselves. As a matter of fact, Fela sang about almost everything affecting us in Nigeria now. I'm sure you didn't watch the YouTube video attached, if you do, you won't have the audacity to say Fela was doing gra gra. In the video, he talked about revolution, standing up for your right. He said if you stand up for your right, government will try to bring you down, if they can't bring you down, they will intimidate and oppress, if they see that you still fighting after that, they will jail and beat you, if after then you are still not backing down, they will try to kill you or burn your house. Guess what happened to Fela? Everything. Not only did they intimidate and oppress him, they arrested him over 100 times, they jailed him, they beat him, they burnt his house, and they tried several times to kill him. Do you know why he changed his name from Ransome-Kuti to Anikulapo-Kuti? He said the government tried to kill him, but he is not afraid to die fighting for masses because he has death in his pocket (Anikulapo). Fela has died almost 20 years ago, but all what he said 30, 40 and 50 years ago are coming to past. In "beasts of nation" he sang about a military leader that wants to dash us human right, the same military is Muhammadu Buhari that you people elected as your president in 2015. In "overtake don overtake overtake (ODOO)" he sang about how hyperinflation is making life miserable for an average nigeria, the same hyperinflation is killing us. In "original sufferhead" he sang about how price of foodstuff has skyrocketed, in one verse he said small bread is now 40 kobo, that same bread I'm sure sell for over 200 naira now, in "suffering and smiling" he sang about how nigerians remain comfortable despite suffering, and urge us to fight for our right. In "authority stealing" he sang about large scale corruption and embezzlement in government. As a matter of fact, almost all Fela songs has message for us to stand up and fight for our rights. Now tell me how what Fela lived for is gra gra?

seguntijan:
So what's the difference?

Just emphasizing and supporting your point bro

seguntijan:
I would have loved to take you down on history and see that it isn't Arab culture only, it's also Jewish and Christians way, in fact Mary gave birth to Jesus at a tender age, but your mind has been so programmed by hatred.

History had it that Mary was 14 when she had Jesus

ahahnow:
Nigerian men do not deserve their pen.is I suggest cutting them off
