Nigerian Star Zlatan Ibile Laments Same old same old. Nothing has changed. #EndSARS – drops new freestyle (Listen NOW)

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. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPccwMlvbp/

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 whole continent is singing one song in the midst of all the cautions happening in Africa. For some past weeks now, African countries such as Nigeria and Congo have been in the news for a lot of ‘sad’ reasons. 

While the people of Nigeria are fighting for the end of police brutality and asking for the end of bad governance, it is said that Congo too is bleeding. 

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. 

After weeks of knocking on the doors of their government, Nigeria Youth are been killed during their peaceful protests in Lagos and so the world is asking one question: ‘Where are the youth in Nigerian going to run go after the leaders “kill” all the youth in Nigeria. 

Now Una wan run go after making our land a bitter place to live in ….

— Davido (@davido) October 21, 2020

The latter is a song by Ghanaian Reggae and Afro-dancehall star Stonebwoy. His  2015 Juls produced Song Run Go has become the go to song for all the youth in Africa.

#EndSARS: Wizkid, Davido, Runtown, others Call for the Resignation of Nigerian President – Buhari

The president of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari is under pressure to resign by lot of youth in Nigeria. Muhammad Buhari who took office in 2015 and is the 15th President of Nigeria is tagged as many as the most incompetent leader to lead the country. 

Nigeria has been going through tough times with the youth of the country calling for a total reform in the whole police force.

The issue has escalated so much that the governor of Lagos issued a curfew in Lagos but the youth still pressed on with their peaceful protest.

For his silence, a lot of Nigerian youth are calling for the resignation of Buhari. This list including music stars such as Wizkid, Runtown, Davido, just to list a few. 

Wizkid in a post on social media called the President old, failure and must resign. 

@MBuhari you are a failure! Old and incompetent! Step down! We don’t want you, your Vice President and your IG! Resign !

WORLD FELA DAY Meets END SARS & SMAT in Nigeria: Coincidence or Prophesy

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.

A post shared by Davido Adeleke (@davidoofficial) on Oct 15, 2020 at 5:05am PDT

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.

Icon , freedom fighter , human rights activist , music legend . AFRICAN ✊🏿🇳🇬 #repost @bankulli ・・・ People are not surprised with sending Military men on the street to chase legitimate Agitation in what is supposed to be Democracy. people are Protesting for Better life and Good Governance with Human Rights . Using old familiar Tactics to attack protesters on the streets only shows we are in a militarized Democracy and the whole world is watching .. but let it be known Power is transient you will never be in power forever history is recording and it will be replayed for unborn generations to know what happened. 🎂 Fela Anikulapo Kuti ( But sha there shall not be any compromise ✊🏿)

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.

Video: RAPPER FALZ’s “THIS IS NIGERIA” SONG IS WHAT NIGERIANS & AFRICANS NEED NOW

American Rapper Childish Gambino did a song two years ago that took the world by surprise. The song tackled all the recklessness and carelessness in America. The song speaks on killings in America, drugs system, bribery and corruption among many social vices in America. 

The song resonated with lot of Africans because in our part of the world, Corruption and bribery is a day to day thing but we in Africa have more serious issues than just killings and so on. We have bad leadership problem. 

So, it was not surprising that Nigerian rapper Falz did a cover of Childish Gambino’s song this is America and called it this is Nigeria.

🎤 + 💻 = 🎶

A post shared by Falz TheBahdGuy (@falzthebahdguy) on Jul 9, 2020 at 2:40pm PDT

Two years down the line, the song is the go to song for all Africans especially Nigerians as they fight for their lives and freedom against police brutality.

Wish I got a longer video. This woman gave me so much life. She was at the forefront with her baby. All she wants is a safe environment to raise her daughter in. Is this too much to ask?

The song addresses all that is happening now in Nigeria and it is not shocking that every youth in Nigeria has jumped on the song as a reference point for morale.

A post shared by 🤴🏽 King SMADE (@iamsmade) on Oct 15, 2020 at 2:38am PDT

Yes, we all knew the things Falz mentioned in the song are in Africa but to witness it with our naked eyes makes it more serious. Our cancer sickness is more serious than we thought it was. 

If leaders in Nigeria can send police force to attack the youth of Nigeria because they are peacefully protesting their civil rights as citizens, then in deed, this is NIGERIA. 

Take  a listen to the song and find inspiration to either join the youth in Nigeria to fight this noble cause because who knows, that could be an inspiration to other young people in Africa to rise against bad leadership. 

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