Fela's Message

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 14:00:00 GMT

Fela says “music is the weapon of the future”. Cue Lagbaja, Burna boy and many other artists using that music to speak about the ills in Africa. Fela used his music as a weapon to fight corruption, injustice and the dysfunctional government we have in Africa. Hence his status as a rebel.

Colonial Mentality

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 14:00:00 GMT

Kolo mentality is real. What do you call being freed, and then seeking slavery? Slavery in mind and body. In this episode, Fela uses his song, ''colonial mentality'' to speak to Africans, telling us that although colonialism has ended, the minds of the African people, our attitudes and behaviours are still being influenced by our past colonial masters. Listen and talk, ya talk. (Colonial Mentality)

Quick question, If you catch a thief stealing on the road what will you do, especially if your pocket has been picked many times, or you have been robbed.

Beating, burn am.

If you catch a senator that has reportedly looted millions of dollars of taxpayers sweat out of the country, what will you do?

Insult him, snap and post on media. Why not beat him, burn him?

Because im na government, abi?

Suffering & Smiling

Tue, 24 Mar 2020 14:00:00 GMT

Fela, the musical prophet had a foresight on the influx of religious bodies in Africa, hence he released the song “ suffering and smiling”. Nigerians choose to ignore the chaotic predicament, while smiling and waiting for the afterlife where we will enjoy all that is good. Who is fooling who? Listen and have your say
