Fela (1938 – 1997)

by Rotimi Onayemi

We talk about Fela

Everyday

Every time

We talk about Fela’s things

Freedom fighting

Stop embezzlement

Open the eyes of the youth

Send people who pass WAEC to Londonderry

For a change

At least I know what I’m reading and passing for

We smoke Igbo

We smoke Colos

Our lives are still better than your own

We say it like it is

We sing it like it is

If you don’t like it

You are living with your demons

Nigeria will be better

When we clear road for Jagajaga

All the girls want our milkshake

Na poi

No President can joke with my music

Coffin for head of state

It’s more than 300 Trillion dollars

Jambo money

Kekere ijebu

Owo ni

AgbaNago ijebu owo ni

Owo ni

Ijebu state now

Go back to the drawing table

And

Flash Nigeria
