He was a prophet a legend and also a father of all

Oh, Fela! but I think Nigeria really lost by the untimely death of Fela. Yes, he was more than funny, he was unique, an original performer. Actually, I became Fela's fan while he was still at Kakadu nightclub on Herbert Macauley Street in Yaba where I searched him out after he sang Jeun ko ku (Chop and Quench). By this time I was still in the boarding house in High School in Ibadan at this time (1969) at Mount Olivet High. So all this happened during the holiday in Lagos. I really miss Fela

There is raegae in this music

Great song ever from my greatest musician of all time!

Corruption, hmm the design of our colonial masters and their cronies. RIP fela

Fela is from another Planet 🌛

Na Waoo. Very intelligent .He was a star.

I’m here cos of what’s going on in Nigeria now. End SARS

Sad that this is still applies to us today. The recent NDDC hearings bears testament to the fact that authority stealing is now a thing of pride in Nigeria. I weep for Nigeria.

Nice song

Eleniya forever. Fela lives

Words of BABA are coming to reality . Rest in Peace BABA . We Nigerians do not want to hear the truth (. Alexander Oriahi Germay)

Shockingly, fela sang this song way back 1980. Nigeria was so corrupt then, and is still as corrupt today. Very sad indeed

2018 and it's still the same story. A damn shame.

For as long as this song continues to apply to Nigeria, there will be little progress!

Please mention to your audience that this version is not the complete song. This: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5Z6ja-TmpvRYWg.html is complete

Love this so much. The reality

May 2018

It's not a topic of black or white people. As both race have good and bad people. It comes down to the spirit one possesses and what one believes and the action one takes will determine their character.
