Since the greatest Nigerian musician of all time, Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti passed on in 1997, the majority of Nigerians have become ass lickers and lap dogs of the political ruling class and no single Nigerian musician or human rights activist has the balls and guts to dare them and call a spade a spade as Fela dared and faced the consequences without apologies and without regrets.
Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti was a revolutionary musician, both an awesome sociocultural and sociopolitical phenomenon.
No other musician in Nigeria and the rest of Africa and the world has been as awesome as Fela. And it is funny how young singers of the present generation who cannot read and write music are claiming to be great.Great in what sense?
Great in winning American and European music awards that Fela never bothered to compete for?
They cannot even have a small band compared to the Afrobeat music enssemle of Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti.

The gathering of the wolves and wolves in sheep clothing;
The gathering of the political crooks and rogues and their apologists and beneficiaries.
The political ruling class of Nigeria that has been using the camouflage of false religion and neocolonial power to divide and rule the majority of Nigerians they have been cheating, hoodwinking and exploiting since the political independence of Nigeria from the British Empire on October 1, 1960.
They exploit the gullibility and stupidity of the poor masses ruled by the herd mentality of their religion.
They don't care about the ongoing emergency of the Cholera epidemic in the country.
They don't care about the increasiing cases of the new deadly variants of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
They don't care about the horrifying kidnappings and killings of the poor and powerless people by the bandits and terrorists and other terrifying occurrences in Nigeria.
Unfortunately for the gullible and intellectually challenged poor masses, they will still troop out as voters in the general elections to vote for the political title chasers of the ruling class who are not nation builders, but political power brokers and their partners in crime and their greedy beneficiaries of the middle class.
The poor masses are always at their beck and call for cheap labour as domestic staff, low income workers and political stooges in the vicious circle of their corrupt and incompetent Machiavellian administrations.
They have destroyed the education system.
They have destroyed the health system.
They have destroyed the security system.
They have destroyed the civil service system.
They have destroyed Nigeria
What we need in Nigeria is not any election, but a revolution for the reformation and transformation of the country for the nation building of a New NIGERIA of equity and unity for the commonwealth of all Nigerians regardless of class, religion and tribe.
Only this revolution will save Nigeria from total collapse.
When they say Nigeria is poor and underdeveloped, northern Nigeria is actually the basis for this conclusion from the demographics of the country.
All the indices of the deficits in sustainable human development in Nigeria used for the analysis of poverty and underdevelopment are more pronounced in the northern region of the most populous country in Africa.
The collapse of security in northern Nigeria is beyond the economics and politics of the North-South Dichotomy. The northern region is the problem of Nigeria.
The north has the largest population of illiterates.
The largest population of poor people.
The largest population of underprivileged children out of school.
The largest population of criminals, including the bandits and terrorists who have been terrorising people for decades.
The largest population of the most intolerant fanatics of the Islamic religion; the breeding ground of Islamic terrorism.
The chickens have come home to roost in northern Nigeria; the consequences of decades of maladministration of governance by corrupt and incompetent public administrators from the local government to the state government.
The political elites of the ruling class and political opportunists of different social backgrounds have misruled their people and exploited the intellectual ignorance of the most underprivileged and deprived masses since the independence of Nigeria on October 1, 1960.
The northern bourgeoisie cannot escape from the wages of their sins.
Unfortunately for the north, the worst is yet to come in every state and the Caliphate will not be spared. Because the home of the Caliphate, Sokoto State is also the home of the poorest people in Nigeria and poverty is the hotbed of crimes of indignation and rebellion.
