    1. I listened to one of his songs and in between, you could feel his pain when he started thus 🎡dem kill my mama,dem kill my mama...🎡

      Nigeria lost it a long time ago and I just pray we recover from our own man made disasters!

  2. That was when a musician stood up and stayed for what he believed in even before brutal military regime. No be today wey them go call for a democratic protest only to chicken out before it starts.

    2. Obj was the military head of state in 1977.
      It was brutal of him to have vandalized and burnt Fela's house.
      He did correct some things as a civilian president though.

  6. This is unlike what we have today where they chicken out before they even start a protest.

    ALL Musicians are friends of politicians and cannot stand to criticize them like Fela did.

    They are all looking for what they will eat instead.Long live the memory of Fela the great, bold enough to speak even during the military era.
