This embodied Fela's cause.. unfortunately his mother perished at the hands of the FGN of Nigeria.. but Fela was relentless with this response.. even teared up during recording, & kept it right there for generations to feel.. hmmmm cyant tess Fela.. lai lai !! ✊🏾😎 2024
tears rolling down my eyes. fela and is family has sacrifice too much for this country.But the Nigerian people listen not and only acknowledge people when they are dead.
sending love to nigeria from ecuador, don't matter the place we from, we sing the same song and we accuse the same principles of slavery evil, our blood for their mines. it will only stop when we are all ONE united, cause we have a common cause
RIP MUMMUY LOUIS THIS MAN IS A LEGEND. I LISTENED TO THIS TRACK SO MANY TIMES. MY MOTHER LOVED IT AND DANCED TO IT MANY TIMES EVERYTIME I PLAYED IT. SHE PASSED AWAY JAN 30 20217 BEATEN BY CANCER RIP MUMMY LOUIS AND RIP FLA KUTI
It was the army in his time, but now civilian government have done much evil to Nigerians more than the army,where do run to and which government can help Nigerians
Not rest in power but may his soul rest in peace because there is no more power and democracy in the after life but Peace and Glory or gnashing of teeth
October, 2020 and the words of this song woke remain relevant. Soldiers opened fire at unarmed protesters at Lekki toll gate here in Lagos. R.I.P Fela Anikulapo Kuti, I'm here still wondering how you survived these people because the whole activity is starting to take its toll on our mental strength. Let it be on record, everything you said on this track happened exactly within our very own unknown government.
how can i contact you sir?your comment described exactly what i was thinking...pin point precision. Just a discussion if you have the time...i notice the mentioned comment is one year old-none the less worth a try
So few people listen to this man.... This world has so much to learn from his lyrics and his all above groove.... For us of all, from those who have passed to all that have to come, share this !!!!
Mehn!! This song is so emotional 🥹,this man and his family really went through hell in the hands of the military people.unfortunately things have not changed rather getting worse every time
This man is prophet because lots of things he used to say had happened no just for Nigeria but the whole of Africa especially congo my county May God bless his soul, humble son of Africa
Thank you Uncle Fela may your soul and the souls of All those departed Rest in Perfect Peace of God Our Father! Amen. You have done your best for Nigeria and the Whole wide World!
This is the real soul music that get the body moving, marching for peace. Not like these so called music that spreading negative energy that causes violence, death, and hatred. RIP powerful leader and bless the dead.
I listened to this song when I was 10-13years but i don't understand it but now can feel and see the pain government cause fela family after listening to this unknown soldier song . Vis a vis listening to Oputa panel of inquiries. I am sympathetical with Fela family. A lovely family with talented people
It shall never be well with the government of Nigeria for killing Fela's mother. A woman who worked so hard for the betterment of not just Nigeria but Africa as a whole. The government of Nigeria are evil, perhaps the atrocities they did years ago and still doing in recent time is the reason why the country cannot move forward. Great music👍💥💢💯
What an evil and barbaric government? On October 1st,2024 we remember and celebrate Mrs Fumilayo Ransome kuti ( the mother of the legendary Fela Kuti) ideological and influential mama.I salute you mama and may your soul keep resting in peace Amen.
Let me get this man's mom was killed because he wanted justice for his people. The sad part about this is his mom fought for the country to have Independence.
mama yambo yo llorare you are my sister i cry with you mama yambo your sons are beautiful and i hold their story in my heart, please listen mama yambo i am sister, let's dance together, i learn so much from you and your beautiful sons, God bless el lloro de la viuda we cry together even though i'm in the Andes, god bless Magic because the Holy Spirit who protects us gives us the same language. christ is a crystal to be unearthed, a greek word, you dig it up and you get the word Echad, meaning "One". The second coming of Christ is the coming of our Unknown Soldier, and that's why he's not the "nice one" like the Jesuit was.
Nnamdi Kanu list his patents to unknown soldiers during pyton dance after they released him on bail. We always wait for people to die and pretend like we love them.
Warrior Fela, was/is a man of outstanding political ability _______oh o o _____death the soul calamity and sand the supreme ruling body _______olorun. Adupe nitori alapadupe ni olorun.
God bless your soul Sir. So many years later, we're still experiencing the same oppression, intimidation, marginalisation, fulanisation and all sorts of nonsense by the same group of idiotic imbeciles of the Nigerian military and their political minions. May our ancestors, the ghost of your mother and all the innocent lives they took continue to torment All of them. We now also have unknown gunmen running things in Nigeria. THOSE WHO DISLIKED THIS SONG NEEDS TO SEE A VERY QUALIFIED PSYCHIATRIST. God bless Africa.
Irreplaceable, the legend we miss u so much , continue to rest in peace baba, those that contributed to ur death one way or the other will never know peace on this earth & beyond!
A repeat has playing out 20-10-2020. "Government Magic" at the end they will tell you it's unknown soldiers. God is watching, you will never escape judgment of God,
There should be a Fela Museum, where youths go listen to his music and thoughts, in the next 50 years Fela would be forgotten unless his family pick up the fight. Fela was a part of my youth folks called him my second father.
Listening to this song in 2021. It's so sad that unknown soldiers, unknown gun men and unknown police are still killing civilians in 2021. Sad situation. RIP Fela, King of Afro beat music.
The home of injustices and all sorts of atrocities is Africa. Injustices is ingrained in our DNA injustices exist in different shapes and forms. It's African Countries that I have seen that police/ military forces who are to protect you are looting you. Robbers in uniform .Oh Nigeria what have become of you,malaise speeping through your body epidemic,injustices poverty and cruelty you have no where to escape 😒
Those irresponsible and worthless twerps are most likely burning in the eternal fires of God as we speak. They may be unknown soldiers in this world, but our God knows them and He will judge every wickedness.
No musician can be compared to Fela in Nigeria. The greatest Nigerian musical of all time!
Nobody Can't denial it ☝🏿
you must say over the world
FELA is special
This embodied Fela's cause.. unfortunately his mother perished at the hands of the FGN of Nigeria.. but Fela was relentless with this response.. even teared up during recording, & kept it right there for generations to feel.. hmmmm cyant tess Fela.. lai lai !! ✊🏾😎 2024

Fela was a musical phenomenon. Great man!
Na me oooo!!! I love listening to it. It reminds me of how wicked our leaders are and not to trust in Nigerian leaders

When I first heard about the Lekki massacre this song came to my mind immediately.
Leki massacre did not happen. The Nigerian military is abusive but Lekki was an incredible lie
@@LadyDuchess the massacre didn't happen but incidents like the one Fela is talking about is why people still believe that lie to this day
@@theelectricprince8231 Did you hear what the president said himself about lekki ?
You must be the one lying
So called 'Lekki Massacre' is the biggest lie of the decade
Still listening to this song in 2020
This music always brings me to a feeling of tearful defiance, resistant, rebellion against all this corrupt so called leaders in Africa
how can i contact you sir?your comment described exactly what i was thinking...pin point precision. Just a discussion if you have the time...i notice the mentioned comment is one year old-none the less worth a try

This is really a horrible and tragic story. When he said “They killed my mother” I almost cried.
What this man said many years ago is still happening today 2024, God help us.
I'm here to pay maximum respect to you.... You're a prophet Sir.
Please do not refer to Fela as a prophet. He wouldn't like it. Prophets are scammer.
He lives on!!!
I love fela with passion
Rip in peace baba fela miss you forever....dem magic never still stop now dem bring livescores Corona virus magic

Amazing, this song is intensely sad, oddly inspirational and obviously lacking western acknowledgment. Peace to this brother!

Well said, so apt, "intensely sad, oddly inspirational"...
A spiritually called one the society did not comprehend.
Tears run down my eyes ..oh God

It's called " Finding Fela " !
Music is the weapon . A Film
by Alex Gibney . 2014 .
He was not a puppet!
There was a film but sound track got burnt in the kalakuta fire.
This is music I feed da spirit
Fela is just awesome. A Prophet par excellence. GbaM.
The singing Prophet, a true Prophet not the fake ones mushrooming everywhere!!!
Hope burna boy and others African musicians walk in your footsteps

Music is the weapon
There should be a Fela Museum, where youths go listen to his music and thoughts, in the next 50 years Fela would be forgotten unless his family pick up the fight. Fela was a part of my youth folks called him my second father.
Fela Shrine in Ikeja. Funnily it's close Alausa
True
Fela was saying it but we didn't listen.
With dem petrol and dem matches... Abami Eda☆...
Since u left us, baba no one could wear ur shoe

Anybody listening to this rhythm with his soul? Cos I am.
Begins with wonderful Fela trademark chiki chiki chiki

Thnx
Listening to this song in 2021. It's so sad that unknown soldiers, unknown gun men and unknown police are still killing civilians in 2021. Sad situation. RIP Fela, King of Afro beat music.
Obasonjo government....everybody should take note.
This song should be played at Obasanjo’s burial.
@@omogaju 😂😂😂 no joy at all
can't forget this song, he cried while singing.
8:40 to 9:25 Goosebumps
Henry Olusegun I know this brotha must have shed tears multiples times when performing that part and recording it.
If u pay attention, u can feel his pain thru his voice

Till tomorrow, no one has taken responsibility of the action of the unknown soldier!
