After 25 Years It Finally Dawned On Me What Fela Was Trying To Say In This Song by wearsandtrends1: 1:41pm On Sep 02, 2021 |
Its funny how i have been listening to this Famous Fela song and not realize until now the message he was passing across Not until Now [Pre-Chorus] Whether you like or you no like After you hear this true talk Whether you like or you no like After you hear this true talk [Chorus] If you like e good *Ge ge* If you no like you hang *Ge ge* If you hang you go die *Ge ge* You go die for nothing *Ge ge* You go carry your body go police station You die e wrongfully *Ge ge, Ge ge, ge ge...* @bolded it seems that Fela was talking about depression and concequence of suicide Though very brash and insensitive to someone facing such situation Fela made it clear the reality of the decision to give up las las na police station if u decide to hang. To anybody facing hard times and negative thoughts Keep fighting 13 Likes |

Its been tough. No families to rely on. The friends I could rely on are also newly married or unemployed. Everybody just dey rough am. I struggled to start a business but it collapsed under 1 year... If I had known it would have been like this, I wouldn't have bother to come to this world at all. After all the difficulties, the religious folks will still tell me "you are going to hell," they'll tell me to pay tithe even though they know I am unemployed, starving and broke. Isn't that cruel insensitivity? After all my hunger and suffer on this Earth, I will now go to hell? Why don't I just kill myself then, what's the purpose of continue living? I walk further and see people whose lives are even harder than mine, they have no home just living in incompleted buildings, destitutes with no hope for a roof. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Whats: Nobody cares to listen to this pathetic sob story of yours. It's unfortunately that you have no support around you, but you've got a brain that could fetch you money. All you have to do is change your mindset, watch your thoughts, and see your world change for the better. Life can be hell or paradise, it's all on YOU! 1 Like |

Nigerians always pray for God to come down from heaven and liberate them lol,they don't know God sent Fela but people were calling him different names like igbo smoker and womanizer. They forgot that God works in a mysterious way. God can use a madman to pass a message. Rest in power black president 2 Likes 1 Share

Whats: Your post hit me bro. We all need love and help in whatever form it comes, and that's where family comes in but I noticed our current social media has killed family relationships. Would have loved to bless your aza financially but town red for me too. But judging by your MONIKER if someone mentioned you to bless you, won't you miss the post 2 Likes |

Most of the things fela said about Nigeria will continue to come to pass till forever. I am trying to imagine what this tyrant buhari would have done if fela was alive and well, dishing out hot hot songs to mock and criticize him. Just imagine |

OGWILLS123: You're actually gonna die trying. Getting super rich legitimately is a paradoxical thought. You wanna be super rich in today's nigeria, you be ready to get really dirty. I mean, dirty dirty. Only the ambitious, cunny, dangerous and evil man makes it. The good ones are left with crumbs. This is know, but many don't. Its not a story, its just life's basic truth |
