Is it true that a Nigerian youngster said he is greater than Fela?
I sincerely hope he was misquoted.

Even if he were to live ten lifetimes, his art and his life could not measure up to Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

Is it in art?
Is it in music?
Is it in activism, courage, or originality?

Fela was not just a musician; he was a movement, a conscience, a revolution in human form. His music gave birth to Afrobeat, a genre now studied in universities across the world, sampled by global superstars, and performed on the world’s greatest stages. From Lagos to London, New York to Berlin, Fela’s sound reshaped global music and African identity.

Fela stood alone—fearless in the face of military dictatorships, unapologetic in his resistance to oppression. He used his music as a weapon against injustice, corruption, colonial mentality, and state violence. For this, he was arrested over 200 times, brutalized, imprisoned, tortured, exiled, and silenced—yet never broken.

His mother was murdered by the state. His house, the Kalakuta Republic, was burned to the ground. His property was seized. He was flogged, beaten, and jailed from Alagbon to Panti, hounded by police and soldiers alike. Yet, after every assault, Fela returned with sharper lyrics, deeper rhythms, and more defiant truth.

For any young person—musician or not—to compare himself to Fela, he must first walk the corridors of Nigerian jailhouses: Lagos, Maiduguri, Benin. He must endure police cells and military tribunals. He must lose everything, go into exile, and still return with his creative spirit intact.

Fela was a multi-instrumentalist, a composer, bandleader, philosopher, and cultural theorist. He could play virtually every instrument in his band, wrote complex compositions lasting 15 to 30 minutes, and fused jazz, highlife, funk, Yoruba rhythms, and political poetry into something entirely original—something timeless.

Globally, Fela is honored as:
• One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century
• A cultural icon whose life inspired Broadway productions, documentaries, books, and academic studies
• A symbol of African resistance and intellectual freedom
• A voice for the oppressed, long after his death

Fela did not chase acceptance. The world came to him.

So, whoever this fellow is—if he indeed made such a claim—should simply be ignored. He may be one of those who would flee the country the moment the police knock once on his car window in Ojuelegba.

Fela did not run.
Fela stood.
Fela fought.
And Fela remains immortal.

The Monkey Money Madness! (MMM)
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced that he would buy monkeys for N100 each. The villagers seeing that there were so many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at N100 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. He further announced that he would now buy at N200. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to N250 but the supply of monkeys became so little that it took much effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one.
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at N500! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf.
In the absence of the man, his assistant told the villagers: ''Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that my OGA has bought from you, I will sell them to you at N350 and when my OGA returns from the city, you can sell it to him at N500''.
The villagers squeezed out all their HARD EARNED savings and bought all the monkeys. The most greedy ones among them even sold their lands to purchase many MONKEYS, hoping to make a huge profit without labor.
Then...
They never saw the man or his assistant. Only monkeys everywhere!
Welcome to MMM. The world of Monkeys !
Be wise.

Amirullaha:
I stay in Niger state and can boldly tell you i enjoy light for 24h a day... You can confirm anytime by calling me on whatsapp anytime if am at my place... 07065617317

Big lie where in Niger state. All the roads are bad. Your governor is doing nothing. The only thing they know how to do is useless Sharia

Governor Bello self is not doing anything since assumption of office. Bleep him

Power state without power. They can not even live up to their slogan.

randomperson:
Ronaldo- 824 games, 567 goals, 189 assists
Messi- 666 games, 532 goals, 223 assists

Decide for yourself. However, there are other stats like chances created, accurate through balls, long balls completed. This is what matters

Maybe you should check Ronaldo stats at Madrid compare to Messi at Barca
Besides that Messi guy (artificial man) grow using Horse Insulin compared to CR7 natural man
