For many youths in Nigeria, the fight for bad governance didn’t start today neither did it start yesterday. 

The fight against bad governance in Nigeria started so many years ago and still the people are fighting for the end of bad governance. 

Musician Zlatan Ibile has added his voice to the ongoing End Sars protests happening in Nigeria. 

The Zanku hit maker who together with his friends led the Ghana version of the ENDSARS campaign has released a one minute song pouring out his disappointment and frustration. 

In the song Zlatan opines that Fela Kuti (the Afrobeat Originator) has been fighting bad governance and police brutality so all these years when he was alive and yet nothing has been done. 

Quoting the lyrics in the song, Zlatan who was full of pain when rapping on this new one minute END SARS song said: 

“I was born on the 19th  December 1994, and ever since I was born Nigerian government never gave a Fxxk. Fela died saying this, different president same old sh#t”. 

The Youth of Nigeria including their celebrities have been protesting for close to a week and over asking their leaders to come to their aid by putting an end to SARS (A special Anti-Robbery squad) formed by the government. 

 Zlatan Ibile new song SORO SOKE, End SARS is one that tackles the issues in Nigeria heads on and hopefully will inspire young people to not loose focus but fight for a good course. 

Listen to the song here: 

October 15 is world Fela Kuti day. The late Nigerian legendary Afrobeat originator was born on that day hence the day is dedicated to the African musical genius all across the continent. 

This year’s World Fela Day is happening in a year (2020) where the world has seen COVID 19 pandemic, lot of deaths in music generally and now a police brutality in Nigeria. 

The Late Fela Kuti during his hay days was not just a musician, he was an activist and a social commentator who fought for the welfare  and freedom of his people of Nigerian and Africans as a whole. 

His music is not just food to the soul but they are prophesies. Fela Kuti had sang about police brutality in his country for some many years ago so it is not surprising that his great great grand children (musically) are also championing the freedom for their people.

The Late Fela Kuti would have been 82 Years on 15th October 2020 and the question is, would he have been happy with the way things are in Nigeria or he would have joined the protest.

In a video posted on Facebook, the late Fela’s son, Femi Kuti, mentioned that he has been fighting for his people for almost 42 years and still police brutality is still on going. 

It is sad that on the very special day of the great music genius like Fela Kuti, the continent cannot happily celebrate him because we have to support our brothers and sisters in Nigeria to fight for something he has been fighting against so many years ago. 

One will say that it is no coincidence that in 2020 on world fela Kuti day, Nigerian youth are up and doing. It is actually about time that all the fighting the late Fela fought for his people will mean more than just words in music but it will come to pass. 

Happy world Fela Kuti Day, late legend, your great great grand kids are making you proud, on 15th October 2020, the day you would have turned 82years, your children’s children great children’s future is been secured by the legacy you left behind, we hope that makes you happy.

We do this for not ourselves but for tomorrow’s kids – Arise all compatriots, Nigeria call obey. Come on all youth in Nigeria, serve your land. 

Nigeria is going through a lot in recent times with back to back protects on EndSARS and police Brutality. 

The Continent’s most visible music market, Nigeria has not had it all good in the eyes of both Africa and global media these past days as people in security field are attacking young innocent armless citizens of the country. 

In the woke of what is happening to innocent youth in Nigeria, the stars together with the citizens came together to fight for their right with a huge protect that took place not only in Nigeria but across the world with every young Nigerian in the world partaking in the protects where ever they find themselves. 

To share more education on the ongoing fight for their freedom as young people, broadcaster, MC and culture leader Adesope Olajide known in showbiz as Shopsydoo has shard an interview with his dad talking about all the beautiful things Nigeria has that is not helping the youth. 

This video is in three parts and touches all aspects of the Nigerian economy. The London based Nigerian Shopsydoo states that the interview with his dad makes more sense everytime he listens to it.
