The ‘war’ between former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and dancehall music star, Ediris Abdulkareem over his 2004 hit track, Jaga Jaga is fast becoming a tale of ‘a child who says his mother will not sleep, he too will not sleep.” Mr. Lecturer, as fans and admirers would call him is ready to ‘dance’ with OBJ, since he’s not ready to let the sleeping dog lies.

In 2004, Abdulkareem’s third album, Jaga Jaga, which lamented the corruption and suffering in Nigeria was banned from playing on radio by Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, although, it continued playing in nightclubs and parties.

Since then, many thought the case had been interred and faded into a cultural pot of time, only to resurface recently at a forum in Lagos when the retired military general lambasted the singer again, an indication that his indignation towards the Kano-born crooner is still raging and roiling.

Angered by OBJ’s comment, the singer fought back through his twit account, by calling the Ota farmer his ‘mugu.’ He tweeted: ‘It’s obvious that Obasanjo can’t do without me. I’m his joy therapy. Mr ex-president, Nigeria still dey jagajaga, in fact worse pass jagajaga‘, @idrisAbdulkarm twitted.

‘President Obasanjo if you truly love Goodluck as u claimed, why don’t you talk to your fellow Boko Haram member to let Goodluck rule in peace’.

Eedris didn’t stop there as he went on to call the PDP leader a ‘mugu’, ‘Mr expresident, I heard you were talking about me in ur last interview hahahahahhahah its obvious you can’t do without me. You are my mugu. Obasanjo na my mugu oooo na jeje i dey, u dey look for trouble oooo…. hahahahahhahahahahhahahah’. ‘Mr ex president, u be my mugu!’ he added.

Not still satisfied, Idris has released a new single, entitled ‘ Baba’ in his defense and to buttress his point that Nigeria is truly ‘Jaga Jaga.’

The lyric goes thus: “Papa na you born me but I no send you again because you no be good Papa,” he chants. “Which kind Papa dey oppress im pikin/Which kind Papa no like im pikin/Which kind Papa no want make im pikin grow. I tire, I never see this kind papa. For this moment I disown you/I no like you/ I dey look for another papa.”

 

“12 years ago Nigeria Jagajaga/Today Nigeria don pafuka/You be bad Papa/You no be fine Papa/You dey oppress pikin/Even for Abeokuta they no gbadun your style,” he says.

 

“I de my house dey watch television na im I see baba Ota dey yarn say my papa na yamayama/Say my mama na jagajaga. He say na Eedris be the problem of Nigeria. If you talk again, I go sing another. You say make them no give me show but I still dey survive. The road to your house for Ota na jagajaga/Make you sidon for your house make I live mylife,” he says.

The song is currently trending online as people are beginning to air their national frustration through it.

It would be recalled that Idris was one of the Remedies group before going solo. His debut album, P.A.S.S. (Pains and Stress = Success) was released in 2002 on Kennis Music. Released the same year and also on same label was Mr. Lecturer, which addressed the problem of students using money and sex to solicit higher grades in Nigerian colleges and universities. Also in 2004, Abdulkareem came to international attention as a result of a scuffle with American rapper 50 Cent on board an aircraft at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

Not this Nigga again?!!.. This grown a`ss ignorant man..
With the rising cost of ' ', I'm not surprised his broke a`ss is trying to get back into the music industry..

Sadly, Nigeria has no ear for rubbish music anymore..

its not my biz..

This song will to US music chart soon and from there, Idris will win us the long-promised grammy award. Who says no hope for entertainment industry?

Can someone advise this broke ar.se nigga to keep shut his dirty mouth. It is on record he broke into limelight nd made cool money for himself during Obj's regime and yet he claimed the country is jaga jaga.

Since Obj left in 2007, has Eedris fared better in his musical career? Kennis Music has been pumping money into his dwindling career for a while now and yet no significant improvement, Obj only brought him back to our consciousness recently and which indirectly afford him another attempt at fame, yet he is busy tweeting his irrelevance in the entertainment industry... Get a life Bro.

BOKO

This Fagg*ot. I'm just so sick and tired of hearing his name.

Trying so hard to be relevant. Who said we needed such a Dimwit at this point in time.

The more we choose to make comments on his arrant nonsensical opinions, the more dignity we give to him. Idris is a disgrace to the music industry, to grown-up men and to his Almajiri brothers

Idris Abdulkareem i always thought you were a good rapper,until i met Mi abaga, Ice prince and Modenine,did i realize that you are a wack rapper.

And hw dis will decrease the money of beans in market. Coz the price of b**ns is too exorbitant

Hate Idris as much as you like; the guy said the truth!
IS NIGERIA BETTER OFF SINCE HE SANG JAGAJAGA?

Very good point! Don't mind those peeps that were insulting him

this guy is an idiot! he is only trying to use OBJ to relauch himself in the entertainment industry and he is doing so by deliberately over-reacting to OBJ's comment. He deserves to be ignored for as they say, silence is the best answer for a fool

kunletiwoo: lol..."Another "Fele Anikulapo" in the making. Watch Out!!!

U have a fact there.

I don't blame him!

When an ex-president desides to banter words with a useless street thug, what do you expect
