He sang about how SAP,privatization,deregulation was used to doom many African countries into poverty. I hope you all know that is the main point of the song. Around that time one British pound went from 5 naira to 28 naira in 2 weeks. Was supposed to help us with exports but we really didn’t have much to export
Nigerians must be the most political cowards in the world. Being blessed with a person like Fela Kuti. He gave Nigerians the musical lyrics to fight the useless leaders but never bothered to
I remember fela perform this tune at lekki sunsplash, my father took the whole family to the beach... i was still in my teens seeing fela for the first time was amazing. Everyone was dying to see him live i can still remember this. FELA the god
Fela..simply put: GENIUS PAR EXCELLENCE!!! In fact, he is a genius of geniuses and the greatest musician EVER!!! This particular tune ALWAYS does it for me musically and makes me happy that I am a musician. The "QUICK, QUICK, KIA KIA, HARAKA HARAKA AND BANGISA BANGISA" parts ALWAYS make my head ring and tintinnabulate because of the way they were harmonized and how they were delivered: SHEER MUSIC HEAVEN!!! KUDOS TO THE ONE AND ONLY ABAMI EDA AD INFINITUM AND EVEN AD NAUSEAM!!! Everybody say Yeah Yeah!!!
He was a legend and he still a legend and history he made no one can replace him nor neither his child may his soul rest in peace ( moses Ngobeni in SA)
Great Prophet Baba Fela Kuti, may you continue to rest in peace, because ALL the things you WARNED Nigeria about, is what is happening today. YOU SAW THE FUTURE.
Swahili man ,Which I be ago sey HARAKA HARAKA😂😁👊🏽... WHAT a Tune Just when I thought BBC was my best Fela tune r hen I come across this.. Orgasmic I tell you
I witnessed almost every practice session of this tune and others!! What a privilege!! I didnt realise it then, but man...i truly appreciate those once in a lifetime moments!! All those days of missing lectures in the Uni just to catch up with practice sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays...sometimes even at Gbemisola.....looking back now....i can proudly say...No regrets at all!! There are days when you go reach pepple, you go hear sey na Gbemisola "choir practice" dey...na so we dey call am oo...na our own choir practice be dat😂...me and my best pally go rush join funky ( bus) say make wr no too late reach Gbemisola....great great memories.... Saw eleniyan live with him note book dey change tune, correct arrangement, sometimes focus on one instrumentalist until he get wetin he wan make him play, sometimes fine...when you "hear gi am five"...na 5 naira fine be dat....wow such lovely memories...
Ah Baba, why you die now? Just when your music was getting more sophisticated and your messages more universal. Who do the people have to turn to now? RIP Abami...
i enjoyed this live show track in those days at the shrine ikeja.fantastic composition big time guitarists.luvly fela vocals.wow seun and femi kuti try ur best for afrobeat future
I remember seeing baba performing this track at Lekki Sun-splash ….He was a prophet and anti corruption crusader. All the ills he sang against are still being perpetrated today by the thieves in government. Fela lives forever ✊🏾
Babangida was referred to as Maradona in Nigeria because of his trickery in government just like Maradona had such trickery with a Football. It was basically a metaphor
William Uko is right, but I'm not sure that was entirely the case. I think Fela was alluding to the fact that Babangida's reign in the late 80s brought about the dawn of computers. Government agencies and whatnot, left the age of manual gadgets, things were analog now, digitized, making the money harder to trace. Abacha would benefit from that measure, immensely, later on. Babangida's trickey, as Fela talks about in this song, included gimmicks such as the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) - a.ka. Suck African People, STP, and others.
Na so them think, as them they scatter Africa Na so them think as them they sell Africa Na so them think with them privatization Na so them think with them commercialization Na so them think...... Yeyeyeyeyeye
See how the naira e dey fall, if no know naira na Nigeria money As e dey fall, dey roll, dey crack, dey crash When naira fall Many people fall with am E roll Many people roll with am E crack Many people crack with am E crash Many people crash with am E jam Many people jam

SAP stands for structural adjustment program by the way
Suck African People... Sad
