Those in power would never allow such songs to be played on radio. Two things that would help drive change in Nigeria; 1. When Nigerian/African History is been taught in Primary & Secondary schools to all students. 2. Fela's song been played on radio. These two things would enlighten the younger generation & would drive them to do the needful.

The true son of mother Africa. My son, Olufela, I thank you as you never misrepresented me, your brothers, and sisters. I gave you the message in your sleep and you delivered the message through a medium that I, mother Africa so cherish and loved. My son, I wish you were alive to see the medium you created; the genie that you pioneered as now become world-recognized. Your grandchildren now use it to pass messages of love, and more to the world. Ose, omo mi. As you rest beneath me; be assured that your brothers shall get it right someday even though the pain I feel each day with the way I'm being treated is unbearable. Many of your brothers and sisters have derailed from the true Africanism and pan-Africanism that your older brothers envisioned. Don't let that disturb your sound sleep. I shall soon give birth to another generation that's likely to bring it to fruition. I hope my daughter your mother is resting well? Tell her, I sent my love, her mother, mother Africa. Your Mother, Mother Africa

One of a kind, and some of the funkiest music I've ever heard... a true, living legend in his time... no one quite like him in the annals of pop/rock music... a complete outlier, not unlike Frank Zappa in that regard... that he got recognition beyond his obvious target audience.

This song makes me feel different and hits me hard.I my in a different world?.This is timeless. The spirit of shango and ogun lives on.I my the only one listening in 2023?
He was ahead of his time. I’m now just learning about things he talked about before I was born. Religious leaders told us not to listen to these kinds of songs-that they were immoral. That created a vacuum for today’s immoral songs to take hold. If you doubt me just listen to Nigerian songs today; they are all talking about women, money and lavish living; no positive content. If we had invested our minds on the music of Fela (and other positive musicians ) we would have been fully equipped to petition our leaders on issues pertaining to us; maybe we would have had better leaders after a revolution
Now that's Powerful. Continue to REST IN POWER BROTHER 🖤✊🏾
