Bro, over-look the negatives and focus on the positives...we all have our flaws and weaknesses...Barack Obama being celebrated globally today doesn't mean he doesn't have his own flaws...Fela's Positives outweighs his Negatives reason(s) why he is being celebrated both home and abroad

sexybbstar:
I like this man.. I can give anything for his music.

yeah you're right.. .only shows how shadow your thinking is.

cosade:


Fela never wore pants in public, he wore pants only in his house.

Well if you took an early morning jog past Victor Ikpeba's Gbemisola residence like I did a bit often you will see him on the upper balcony lit up and hanging out in briefs. If that is not public....then what is....then one day he was gone. No more cheers. The legend passed on. Saw it coming. Everyone did.

N:B...NOW, THIS IS SOMEONE YOU CALL "LEGEND"...not all dis fake people they are calling legend up & down...people wey no fit fight 4 common man right, because dey get chicken change & their mummy said not 2 talk...

Rubbish...

R.I.P.P....Mr Fela....

verygudbadguy:




I am sure you guys do not understand what music is all about. Appearance can never over shadow talent. While I may also not like some certain things that he did while he was alive, I acknowledge his musical talent. He is a multi instrumentalist, musician and a prophet. His works are acknowledged all over the world.

The likes of Jayz, Beyonce, Alicia keys, Nas celebrate this Icon. But then, a prophet is never accepted in his home town.
Even our Lord, Jesus Christ was not accepted in his hometown. Mark 6:5

You have no appreciation for music , clearly. It's not about the man Fela it's about his music and what he and about. Demonise him all you like, he sang about peoplw like you you know.

That dude is one of the Zombies Fela sang about.


I dash you sense. Oya take am.

I don't know how old you are ..maybe idomie age..if you listen or listened to most of FELA'S songs , you will appreciate the message and not worry about the messenger ..

Tell me something..

It’s the remembrance of Afrobeat Musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti who passed on 20 years ago.

Though he existed in the days when there was nothing like Instagram, Facebook nor Twitter, the Controversial Legend still has pictures that are capable of going viral if such platforms existed in his days.

You go fear Igbo!!!

Seriously, I have his whole collection at home o,plus his autographed saxophone come and collect it.

Can part payment be made directly into Law School bank account?

I don't think so bro

NairalandAsasin:

Go and sleep..

Go and tell your elders.

Yes, he was eccentric but he fought for the Nigerian masses and which one of us can claim to have the heart to fight injustice that Fela had ?

He remained true to his beliefs till the very end.

Yes, he wore pant, but he was not a criminal like Jayz was.

Jayz was and is fully clothed but he was a Drug dealer who made the money to set up his business empire from dealing crack cocaine and yet he is celebrated today.

At least Fela was not a criminal.

These ones wey Fela hold for hand pass jumbo ohhhhh..... If u think say u sabi weed pass... Come n collect these Fela's oshogbo weed...

Better go and read or listen to his works.


If its to say rubbish about your people and country na your voice go strong pass.

He was a musical genius acknowledged globally and a great activist like his mum.

To date Fela's Orchestra and orchestration is unparalleled. Few people get Fela liver. No be by size and definitely not by muscles.

That's hypocrisy. Just like a pot calling kettle black. A message should be as good as the messenger. A man can't give what he doesn't have.
