    Fela didn’t belong to just Nigeria. Like Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, he belonged to Africa. Continental Africa identifies with what he was about. He is an African Hero. And generations to come must learn about this great African!

Until there is full surgery of our nation, my hope is gone, now is endsarsendswarts who know what is next? Everything is wrong with Nigeria from the root to the top, people desperately are flying abroad for greener pasture and security. 1970's was almost the best ends of Nigeria as I heard from elders. WE are so blessed in Nigeria but unfortunately ruled by highly corrupted leaders to the core, young children dieing of poverty, illness and lots more, people are dieing everyday but they don't care at all, families separated due to runs for better life and lots more bitter experience happening on a daily basis except for the lucky ones among us who are bouyant financially mostly selfmade individuals, yet the poor are getting poorer and poorer while the rich are getting richer and richer.

    , his music is so unique.... different instruments..... sometimes like off tone but perfectly insane! He created his own key! And he did this in the 70s he’s just far ahead of his time

    In few months it gon be 27 years since you left us. Walahi Naija na still the same. More HORRIBLE. These top politicians no care about us. Hunger dey! Insecurity! Common man dey suffer and it's hard to get a good job. The only thing wey concern them na Old National Anthem 💔. #2024
