It´s My favorite song the Fela genius. One of the most important representant of african culture. Thanks for this vídeo. I´m waiting for ages to this wonderful experience. Great!
zookat your video art is so wonderful and always great! it is such a pleasure to see and READ your footages. I love them all, the ones I have seen. thank you for letting us see your great gift!
hi i'm ivorian man living in France and i'm a big fan of FELA Anikulapo. Big up to all the NIJA!! and respect for his relatives... God bless AFRICA and real soldiers of AFrica like FELA and co.
@keychaoodotcom You don come again? I banished you under your old ID "keychautadotcome" when you started to insult people on posts here, "Ms. Etiquette??" Have you turned a new leaf? Looks like the other account was closed down for abuse, and you opened another one?
FELA mind was one of the greatest of our time no contest...as he set out to do he put in substance the beauty of the african concept. and naturally it broke the confinement of their limited world.and he did it all by staying true to himself :TRUE AFRICAN KING...noble and gracious if u look in the african dictionnary(yet to be made...lol)u ll see FELA picture under the word GRACE...just listen to the music...but it is also POWER...thats why he s THE BLACK PRESIDENT...ENOUGH SAID...
My people do not waste your with those guys here with only nigerian mentality!They blame Fela who lived his life to the fullest.These people are spreading Christianity and Islam that those people who gave them have abandoned!This is all brain-watching.Nigerians are claiming to be religious,but in reality many of them have no religion.Their religion is MONEY MONEY MONEY AND POWER POWER to steal public funds.They even use our money to oppress the masses to care for.Great Fela spoke against them!
So much focus goes to Fela's life that people forget the absolute genius behind the music- the start of BONN is a perfect example as every part of Egypt 80 interlocks in a perfect yin/yang loop - like a musical prayer wheel of some ultra-funk. Followed by a message that is such a concise and scathing evaluation of what is still going on daily today it's chilling. FAKWAPOE! Fela Anikulapo Was A Prophet On Earth!
Blame the pharmaceuticals and blame western goverments for creating deseases so that they can sell drugs that will not save you anyway, will only keep you alive for a few more years, wich means as long as you are alive you are their client.. for life!
love the music love the lyrics treasure the memories from your (english speaking) Irish brothers ! or more
Bueno musica titulo bestias de ningun nation creo yo contra politicos corruptos mis recuerdos personales de amistad y companerismo con un amigo deportado
Fela would not have liked your foolish arguments Have some respect whilst in the proximity of the late great Fela. who was a perplexing magnificent artist who inspite of his flaws wanted freedom for his people from oppressive government structures.
He wasnt a politician so his message was not always calculated nor did he always presume he was right.
Just enjoy his legacy and do not speak of what you do not fully know.
Solomon Capulet I share your sentiments . Maybe they never saw the Legend in the flesh , a man of shortish stature whose personality was so awesome it made him look like a giant. Perhaps they were not privileged to behold his piercing ,defiant yet loving eyes, the eyes of a of a man born before his time. Maybe they never saw his strut, the walk of a man who knows exactly where he is going. Yes maybe they never beheld our beloved, our blessed Fela.
Olosegun or whatever ur lunatics parents named u. it`s vividly clear 2 me now that u should just go and kill urself.......`GO AND DIE, and don`t 4get to rot in hell....U are extremely disgrace 2 all Yoruba race, provided if u are one of us. Fucking Winno.
You (your parents and your progeny) are certificatedly accomplished shit brained lunaticks of the highest echelons in the same league as satan himself in which normalcy is a distant memory or non existent. FUCK YOU. Go perish in the grave. Asinine mook.
7olusegun, pick up some books by Cheikh Anta Diop, C.L.R. James, Yosef ben Jochannan, Dr. John Henrick Clarke, Ivan Van Sertima, Theophile Obenga and from there you will discover everything I said was for your own benefit.
You can also search and find many video lectures of these great minds on YouTube. Re-education is the only way to free yourself of the negative mindset you obviously don't like very much but can't help being controlled by.
7olusegun, I sincerely hope you made a genuine error in spelling "Rust" instead of "Rest". The letter 'U' on the keyboard is four key away, how does one make such a mistake? If it wasn't a mistake, you should know that the universe ways of sending forces of misfortune to certain, selected individuals.
Emm, emm, your sincerity might be wrong. But you also may be right. If 'rust' (instead of 'rest') and 'piece' (instead of 'peace') were sincere 'mistakes', then they might be deliberate. No offence to the dead man.
7olusegun, perhaps you didn't read/grasp what I wrote properly. I said "genuine error", not "sincere 'mistakes'". They are not the same thing; therefore, your response was completely off and illogical. In fact, you offended "the dead man" twice.
If you intended to be witty in your response and intend to be so in the future, make you grasp basic concepts.
What I previously wrote were not errors; though Fela was renowned for his style of music, his lifestyle was that of an uncultured barbaric individual who inadvertently help spread the scourge of AIDS to some of his simpleton followers while being in denial of its existence.
It is funny who you show displeasure over an individual of possibly your own kind, yet you can't show displeasure at the foreign elements who actually developed the HIV virus and administered it into Black African children under the alias of "small-pox vaccination". Who is/are these foreign elements? Try W.H.O (World Health Organization), Henry Kissinger, Special U.S. viral program for population genocide (a.k.a. population reduction) purposes.
Fela was renowned for more than "his style of music", he renowned for defending freedom of true human expression. His "music style" was only a by-product of his Black African roots as well as the message and the way he chose to deliver the message.
In your erroneous charge the Fela "inadvertently help spread the scourge of AIDS", you provided to proof to anything you saying. I personally know of no women he married who charged Fela with having HIV or getting such disease from him. In fact, Fela has children and all of them are perfectly healthy. Do you know any of his children who have HIV?
The point I am trying to make is that many like you are the result of those conditioned with poisonous sentiments, lack of knowledge, post colonial psychological attacks making your docile enough to be remotely controlled by media. The result of all this is abject hate for your own immediate kind while you ignore, praise and worship those who control you from foreign lands.
Not so! I aint got no respect of persons: I also show hot displeasure against hypocritical 'melanin impoverished' (i.e. whiteman's) attitude. I am completely aware of the evil (including the dark) deeds popagated by these M.I. people on others while calling other people terrorists. I habitually give them 'righteous abuse' also.
u are very stupid 4 making such comments on the great one. i know u are definetely not Yoruba, u are that one of minority tribe that we did not give the chance to rule. 4uck ur ancestors and go and kill urself
You double standard hypocrite calling someone 'very stupid' ans saying 'in Jesus' name'. You are an extremely mad idiot for your falacious presumptions; you and your Fela god. Why not you go perish and go join him in hell forever. IMBECILE.
Got to give it to u 7olusegun, u r extremely skilled at focusing on d wrong issue. U say lets forget about the genius inventing a whole 4kin new genre & questn his use of "some" non african instruments; lets ignore & trivalise d message & questn why he travelled 2 spread his message. Is ur dad an African politicican? If not, take up a career. U av d requisite mentality 2 put us back another 100yrs
I aint doubting Fela's music prowess, in fact some of his songs I like. His lewd depraved and lascivious life style is his problem and he claim to be a maverick (if you support him, then you are in league with him putting civilization back several centuries). Why I am against him is that someone of his erudite calliber denying the existence of HIV/AIDS (ironically which took his life) while encouraging its spread and teaching others via promiscuity and carelessness.
Fela having (and dying of AIDS) aint new news. Anyone with medical knowledge knows this. Even his elder blood brother (Ransome Kuti) testified of Fela's AIDS acquisition and death cause. As talented as Fela is, to deny the existence of a disease that killed him is irresponsible. You can go to the hospital where he died in 1997 and ask for his HIV status (if possible) to see the truth.
7olusegun, did you see any of Fela's medical records? What autopsy and blood test proved he died of AIDS? How long did he live with HIV before it turned in AIDS or did he just contact AIDS? Do even know the difference between HIV/AIDS? If Fela was sexually active why didn't other women contact this disease and if they did why didn't they and others come forward?
For your information, Bob Marley, who was a threat to false but White idea of supremacy, was shot to dead, yet it was reported that he died of cancer and people world wide believed it till this day.
When Ethiopia granted Bob Marley's family permission to have Marley's body re-buried in Ethiopia because that's where Bob Marley always wanted to be buried, the U.S. and other Euro-Western nations rejected with weird aggression? Why? Did they not want for people to see the evidence that Bob Marley was actually shot and didn't die of any toe or leg cancer?
Making allegation and being a media gullible individual is easy, but thinking on your own and looking beyond your nose is more rewarding.
Am a Marley n Fela fan and am interested to learn more about this info of yours regarding Marley's death through gun shot wounds rather than cancer. Please where is the source of this news about being shot to death?
I realy appreciate ur comments regarding to Fela the great one, and the blacks sentiment most especially Nigerian. U see let me tell u something, there are many of them in Nigeria i mean africa as whole. But i know by God grace, they will be rmove 4rm our planet in Jesus name...Amen. Thank u very much 4 ur contribution.
I aint doubting his music style. In fact his fans blindly follow what he says as he seems to speak on their defense. The danger here is that if he says a wrong thing (like AIDS aint exist i.e. American Idea to Discourage sex), this brainwashes his simpletons followers (some of them), encouraging excessive wanton promiscuity. If Fela had taken extra precautions with a dignified life, he would probably be still alive today.
And you keep getting the point wrong. Fans can be fan, there are countless Black men and women whose eyes where opened by the awesome truth he spoke. But you keep working to degrade the man's timeless message as if his sole purpose was to create some music style. You maybe Nigerian judging from your screen name and I've notice how vehement certain Nigerians can be on their own kind.
Many Nigerians whom I've had conversations with call it "Nigerian Sentiment". In fact, when one digs deep to discover the reason for such hate, it is usually based on ignorant and unfounded accusation like the ones you made, born out of envy, jealousy or a combination of both.
Even worse, almost all forms of basic logic is lost in the vicious cycle of this deep negativity and self hate. One doesn't have to be a fan of Fela to use basic thinking skills. Fela was seen as a problem for those in power at the time. In fact, his band "Egypt 80" is probably named so because they know they blood ancestors were Ancient Kemetians and Arabs specialists are nothing but colonialists, liars and thieves.
You really need to wake up truly look being the "Nigerian Sentiment" to grow.
I aint jealous or envious of Fela in anyway for your information. A man who speaks familiar events in his music while leaving a double standard lifestyle with like minded fans like you is hypocritical, which is the standard Nigerian mentality: exaltation and exhortation of critical mediocrity. This is why Nigeria is still the way it is after about 49 years in the doldrums.
You may be right, I'm Nigerian. Any soberly thinking person will realise the so-called truths Fela spouts out are what most people already know. lack of transparency, unsincerere determination, hypocrisy and a soft spot for your Nigerian sentimentality are major problems plaguing that nation's development. A forward thinking individual will cast sentiments aside in favor of sincere implemental development.
Anyone who speaks truths "most people already know" is not spouting "so-called truths", it is actually telling of the truth. Just because people may know the truth doesn't make something less truthful because someone you don't like said it.
In addition to spewing random epithets, there was nothing "soft spot" about what I've learned about this Nigerian Sentiment Nigerians often destroy themselves with.
Using you as an example; after your epithets about "hypocrisy" and "soft spot for...Nigerian sentimentality" you wrote:
"A forward thinking individual will cast sentiments aside in favor of sincere implemental development."
without realizing your attempted "soft spot" for "Nigerian sentimentality". Rather than putting the psychological disease aside, it should be eliminated completely. Casting it aside is only sweeping the dirt underneath the rug and not actually getting rid of it permanently.
Finally, you falsely attempted to cast some of my statements as "soft spot" instead of what they actually are (undiluted truth). I am not surprised you have a hard time dealing with it. You don't want to admit you are wrong. Ever since I started researching this thing called "Nigerian Sentiment" I've realized the best way to deal with is by speaking undiluted truths and pointing out all illogical expressions like the ones you've made.
As part of my work as a Black African ancient & recent history researcher, writer, preserver, my work is not only limited to the damages of colonialism on Black African peoples and their environments. My work equally focuses on studying Black psychological state and attempting to assess the damage. You still have a chance to break away from deeply conditioned negativity called "Nigerian Sentiment"; if you want. Else, further depths of the damages of this "Nigerian Sentiment" will be revealed.
...and acquiring modern musical instruments and worst of all, denying the existence of a disease that slaughtered him is hugely hypocritical enough. If these are the basis of your sentimentality, wow. You need to wake up. The statements I made are logical enough to grasp; likewise the term I used (i.e. 'soft spot') as sensitive protection for the exaltation of mediocrity are succinct enough to understand.
7olusegun, again, you make absolutely no sense. Your attempts to gain logical edge over me without challenging your deep flaws will only lead you to frustrations. As I said before, as part of my studies as to why Black Africans can't work with each other to build their nations (mostly as a result of colonialism and the by-products of post-colonialism), I focused on Nigerians, Ghanaian, Kenyans and others.
You might be a permanently damaged individual and possibly can't see it.
You're obviously bent to selling the idea that Fela somehow contributed to the ills of your homeland. The problem is, you can't see just how poisonous you are. Individuals like you multiplied by a few thousands and putting in position to run a government will gives you clear idea of why Nigeria and other Black African nations have had a difficult time developing.
Rather than pressuring yourself and continue responding aimlessly, you should focus on fixing you and let go of your hate for Fela.
'Meaninful talking' involves teling the truths of what most people are ignorant of (and not what they already know). 'Casting sentiments aside' involves abandoning what makes up the content of such sentiment completely (not merely storing it under the rug). I know you have a soft spot for the typical Nigerian mentality. Fela's claim of being maverick yet traveling to places like US...
Fela didn't have to claim anything. People claimed and he accepted. Fela merely attempted to communicate his views through his music with the hopes that people would listen. Just like anything else, it is all an attempt, a gamble to open peoples eyes. If people connect with the message, the messenger is remembered. It is funny how you're trying to intellectualize illogical statements you made earlier while holding your baseless grudges on Fela.
Further more, your idea of "soft spot" makes no sense just like all your other illogical word spinning. Where your logic really falls short is the fact you don't realize that new generations are born and the same messages need to repeated. This is how people, cultures and traditions survive. Therefore, telling the truth is always "Meaninful talking" no matter how many people know.
The negative base you have is not a good foundation for logic. If one was to follow you view we would have new English words for saying "Good morning" everyday.
You have a misguided sense of presumptious judgement. You are the one with highly damaged flaws and misguided judgements. What has colonialism excuse got to do with a nation's development? It is the stinking mindset of the nigerian (and other black African) individuals from the top to the lower echelons that are responsible for their nation's ills. You with this similar mindset's soft spot is an example.
7olusegun, I told you you would be frustrated if you continued to respond aimlessly and now you're becoming even more illogical as anger finds you increasingly attractive. Next, all your commonsense may go out the window and you'll resort to pure insults. Most Nigerians I've met and dealt with are usually humble, very smart, hard working, God fearing individuals who pray for and have high hopes for their motherland. Most Black Africans from Nigeria are good people.
On the other hand, there are other Nigerians with disturbing mixtures of deep negativity and contorted logic who are often smart enough but too negatively conditioned to think and see clearly. Cloudy state of minds hampers their efforts to think clearly. Right now, you seem to fit this description and I've dealt with many just like you. This is why you're so predictable and that frustrates you. In the end the ball will always be on your court to make the final moves. I only observe and report.
As an example of how illogical you've become (disregarding your insults), you asked:
"What has colonialism excuse got to do with a nation's development?" (in relations to Black Africans)
Colonialism and post colonialism played a major role why there is a lack of development in Africa because the colonial dictators looted, destroyed and rewrote a great portions of your history as Black African. You allowed your anger and frustration to blind you resulting in the elementary question you asked.
The negative "mindset" of some Nigerians you speak of is result of complete mis-education and lack of complete pride of being a Nigerian which can be traced back to highly poisonous and powerful colonial human-instruments like Mary Slessor who single handled damaged many Black African minds. This missionary woman, on her mission, falsely thought your Great-Grand parents that they were innately bad and your forefathers believed the lie and passed it on.
Mary Slessor is just one example of countless examples of the Euro-Western contribution in manipulation and undermining the Black Africa's psychological state (what you now call "mindset of the nigerian"). In clarity, just like you, many Black Africans erroneously think they can change their situation without confronting and correcting historical errors head on. I can tell you this is virtually impossible. I continue to study Nigeria's colonial history and the damages is still very evident.
abeg thank god better brother don start to dey talk correct thing. ive been saying for years we black people nigerians, caribbeans afro hispanic and afro american are ashamed of being black we no go prosper until we learn
Anyone (according to you) who claim to open other people's eyes while he himself deliberately (or otherwise) wants to remain blinded is foolhardy, together with others who have soft spot for this type of stupidity is more fooldardy to say the least. You trying to justify your baseless 'undiluted truths' while supporting (and acting in) hypocrisy and trying to appear intellectually logical is baseless foolery.
bros abeg na u people dey destroy niaja.. i went to school with you proud types your parents were senators and looters of national treasury always loving the white man. who are you to judge his life na wetin they kill us african people. omo boy make u stop am if not we for africa no go progress
Ok; but na di kain mentality wey tipical Naijirian get be dis: We too dey exalt and exhort mediocrity welli welli. For exampul, when NEPA strike take lait, we dey shaut up NEPA! Dis dey teribul and evil. Shay na your papa be looter of naijiria? My papa no enter eni political post for naijiria. We naijiria sabi tell lie well well even if truth dey look pesin for korokoro eye. Dat na di reason wai naijiria no fit stand up. Di ting wey fela deny, na im kill am.
7olusegun I have only one thing to say to you . Please tell me you are not of the Yoruba race in particular because if you are not aware I will tell you other cultures and races the world over also have the decency and good sense not to speak ill of the dead. My brother its not done. please dont reply you have defiled this comments section enough.
But I expected Fela, an educated man to have been more responsible and not propagating lies, saying AIDS aint exist while simultanously he was slowing dying of it and through his influence, encouraged the spread of this nasty illness. No doubt Fela is very talented. I also listen to some of his politically motivated tunes. This is the only problem I had with this guy called Fela. Stop using tradition of 'not speaking ill of the dead' as an excuse for the ills of men. Men's evil lives after them.
7olusegun ,quite a thoughtful reply.However this tradition stems from the simple reason that the dead are unable to defend themselves thus denied a fair hearing. I agree that Fela's views on the invincibility of Africans to the to AIDS was misguided but this would imply the imposibility of him contemplating or accepting he had it . A man of Fela's integrity does not deal in lies. Read Soyinka's death and the Kings Horseman and you will understand to an extent what Fela was really about.
Ok; but there are many things in the Yoruba tradition that are wrong or fallacious (such as 'incarnation' (as in Babatunde, Yetunde etc) and what you just mentioned: that the dead cannot defend themselves). It's good to have true knowledge and act wise. I think anyone in Christ that dies is defended by His (Jesus) blood forever in heaven and will also know that the 'incarnation' nonsense is a demonic lie. Fela was a maverick 'orisha' worshipper who claimed to have death in his pouch. I respect.
7olusegun you amaze me. What makes Christianity superior to the African indigenous religions or can you prove the truth and validity of yours over and above them or any other world religion like Islam or Hinduism for example. What is so great about yours when you have to bath in and drink the blood of your saviour .What makes yours so great when you live every second of your life in fear of a great demon you call satan ever ready to claim your soul for eternal damnation.
what is your problem Olusegun I sense beef here or hypocrisy or holier than thou . What do you have with Aids . Live your own life and live Fela alone . Every one of your posts is about what you expected from Fela . he was living his life and not your expectations of how he should live his life . He died of Aids so what. WE celebarate his music his guts and his courage . we know about his excesses so dont educate us abeg .
Olusegun I can`t stop laughing at ya "mr. man shaaraap ya mouth,mind ya own bizness" shit! can`t remember the last time I heard that...WTF? Abeg ask am wetin be him wahala...lol
You no fit remember the last time I say wetin? Shay all the ting wey I tok na lai or e dey senseless? Make you tok tru true.
Make you no get me wrong; Fela na my man; I laik him musik, hence na di risin wey I dey disappointment wit am. If to say e humbul himself com confess true say na mistake him do, I go get respect for am, but efin till di taim wey he die for hospita, he denai till im last say ADISA no exist; tok say na american idea... .. He denai di ting wey cari him laif commot. too bad.
Can you possibly go to the hospital where he died to verify his authentic death cause? His lifestyle fits well the profile. Also his senior brother (Olikoye Kuti) verified it publicly for the benefit of the masses (whom Fela deceived of AIDS existence). No right thinking man would deliberately declare the cause of death of his blood brother (in the medical field) except it is extremely mandatory and the truth raw. Fela was a public figure. His wives might had been dying piecemeal in silence.
now u know watz-up, when u want 2 make any stupid comments on somebody that is more than ur whole family to ur primitive era, then u will know `WETIN-DEY. Now u ve learn ur lesson in a great and hard way. Lunatic

i dont really listen to love songs like fela said i prefer songs that reflect the struggle cos thats my enviroment, instead of broken hearts pick up your arms..at the same time party with felas jams..love brings about sobs sobs no i want courage and hold my head up and say what i mean and mean i say..goodbye love song no bearing in my life too old been there been done dat!!no results other than heartace!!!!
Songs of "Sorrows Tears & Blood," "Confusion Break Bone," "Everything Scatter"... lyrics that expose and highlight corruption, misrule and injustice. But earlier in his career especially with KOOLA LOBITOS, FELA did pen a few love songs... like the classic "Ololufe Mi" (LOVER), "My Baby Don't Love Me" and later "Beautiful Dancer" to mention a few...
That video went thru a stage of converting it from PAL to NTSC format. That caused some of the fuzziness and wobbles. Sorry, that's the best quality that I have to offer. If more people keep complaining rather than enjoy or appreciate the effort to share this, I will take it offline.
no please dont do that i thought theres a better way, believe me, i understand, leave GREAT FELAS MUSIC on there and thank you for keeping close to the communities veiw point I appreciate i personally wouldnt know what to do without this particular song!!! thanks
ZOOCAT that sounds like a threat, i can get this piece from elsewhere do what you have to do, i dont know the details, explain your situation and probably shed some light i will understand if it makes sense..fela is all over the internet thanks for being nasty

So much focus goes to Fela's life that people forget the absolute genius behind the music- the start of BONN is a perfect example as every part of Egypt 80 interlocks in a perfect yin/yang loop - like a musical prayer wheel of some ultra-funk. Followed by a message that is such a concise and scathing evaluation of what is still going on daily today it's chilling. FAKWAPOE! Fela Anikulapo Was A Prophet On Earth!

Fela would not have liked your foolish arguments Have some respect whilst in the proximity of the late great Fela. who was a perplexing magnificent artist who inspite of his flaws wanted freedom for his people from oppressive government structures.
He wasnt a politician so his message was not always calculated nor did he always presume he was right.
Just enjoy his legacy and do not speak of what you do not fully know.

7olusegun, I sincerely hope you made a genuine error in spelling "Rust" instead of "Rest". The letter 'U' on the keyboard is four key away, how does one make such a mistake? If it wasn't a mistake, you should know that the universe ways of sending forces of misfortune to certain, selected individuals.
outthetube 2 years ago
Emm, emm, your sincerity might be wrong. But you also may be right. If 'rust' (instead of 'rest') and 'piece' (instead of 'peace') were sincere 'mistakes', then they might be deliberate. No offence to the dead man.
7olusegun 2 years ago
7olusegun, perhaps you didn't read/grasp what I wrote properly. I said "genuine error", not "sincere 'mistakes'". They are not the same thing; therefore, your response was completely off and illogical. In fact, you offended "the dead man" twice.
If you intended to be witty in your response and intend to be so in the future, make you grasp basic concepts.

What I previously wrote were not errors; though Fela was renowned for his style of music, his lifestyle was that of an uncultured barbaric individual who inadvertently help spread the scourge of AIDS to some of his simpleton followers while being in denial of its existence.

7olusegun, I am glad you decided to be clear.
It is funny who you show displeasure over an individual of possibly your own kind, yet you can't show displeasure at the foreign elements who actually developed the HIV virus and administered it into Black African children under the alias of "small-pox vaccination". Who is/are these foreign elements? Try W.H.O (World Health Organization), Henry Kissinger, Special U.S. viral program for population genocide (a.k.a. population reduction) purposes.
outthetube 2 years ago
Fela was renowned for more than "his style of music", he renowned for defending freedom of true human expression. His "music style" was only a by-product of his Black African roots as well as the message and the way he chose to deliver the message.
outthetube 2 years ago
In your erroneous charge the Fela "inadvertently help spread the scourge of AIDS", you provided to proof to anything you saying. I personally know of no women he married who charged Fela with having HIV or getting such disease from him. In fact, Fela has children and all of them are perfectly healthy. Do you know any of his children who have HIV?

I aint doubting Fela's music prowess, in fact some of his songs I like. His lewd depraved and lascivious life style is his problem and he claim to be a maverick (if you support him, then you are in league with him putting civilization back several centuries). Why I am against him is that someone of his erudite calliber denying the existence of HIV/AIDS (ironically which took his life) while encouraging its spread and teaching others via promiscuity and carelessness.
7olusegun 2 years ago
Fela having (and dying of AIDS) aint new news. Anyone with medical knowledge knows this. Even his elder blood brother (Ransome Kuti) testified of Fela's AIDS acquisition and death cause. As talented as Fela is, to deny the existence of a disease that killed him is irresponsible. You can go to the hospital where he died in 1997 and ask for his HIV status (if possible) to see the truth.
7olusegun 2 years ago
7olusegun, did you see any of Fela's medical records? What autopsy and blood test proved he died of AIDS? How long did he live with HIV before it turned in AIDS or did he just contact AIDS? Do even know the difference between HIV/AIDS? If Fela was sexually active why didn't other women contact this disease and if they did why didn't they and others come forward?

I aint doubting his music style. In fact his fans blindly follow what he says as he seems to speak on their defense. The danger here is that if he says a wrong thing (like AIDS aint exist i.e. American Idea to Discourage sex), this brainwashes his simpletons followers (some of them), encouraging excessive wanton promiscuity. If Fela had taken extra precautions with a dignified life, he would probably be still alive today.
7olusegun 2 years ago
And you keep getting the point wrong. Fans can be fan, there are countless Black men and women whose eyes where opened by the awesome truth he spoke. But you keep working to degrade the man's timeless message as if his sole purpose was to create some music style. You maybe Nigerian judging from your screen name and I've notice how vehement certain Nigerians can be on their own kind.
outthetube 2 years ago
Many Nigerians whom I've had conversations with call it "Nigerian Sentiment". In fact, when one digs deep to discover the reason for such hate, it is usually based on ignorant and unfounded accusation like the ones you made, born out of envy, jealousy or a combination of both.
outthetube 2 years ago
Even worse, almost all forms of basic logic is lost in the vicious cycle of this deep negativity and self hate. One doesn't have to be a fan of Fela to use basic thinking skills. Fela was seen as a problem for those in power at the time. In fact, his band "Egypt 80" is probably named so because they know they blood ancestors were Ancient Kemetians and Arabs specialists are nothing but colonialists, liars and thieves.
You really need to wake up truly look being the "Nigerian Sentiment" to grow.
outthetube 2 years ago
I aint jealous or envious of Fela in anyway for your information. A man who speaks familiar events in his music while leaving a double standard lifestyle with like minded fans like you is hypocritical, which is the standard Nigerian mentality: exaltation and exhortation of critical mediocrity. This is why Nigeria is still the way it is after about 49 years in the doldrums.
7olusegun 2 years ago
You may be right, I'm Nigerian. Any soberly thinking person will realise the so-called truths Fela spouts out are what most people already know. lack of transparency, unsincerere determination, hypocrisy and a soft spot for your Nigerian sentimentality are major problems plaguing that nation's development. A forward thinking individual will cast sentiments aside in favor of sincere implemental development.
7olusegun 2 years ago
Anyone who speaks truths "most people already know" is not spouting "so-called truths", it is actually telling of the truth. Just because people may know the truth doesn't make something less truthful because someone you don't like said it.
In addition to spewing random epithets, there was nothing "soft spot" about what I've learned about this Nigerian Sentiment Nigerians often destroy themselves with.
outthetube 2 years ago
Using you as an example; after your epithets about "hypocrisy" and "soft spot for...Nigerian sentimentality" you wrote:
"A forward thinking individual will cast sentiments aside in favor of sincere implemental development."
without realizing your attempted "soft spot" for "Nigerian sentimentality". Rather than putting the psychological disease aside, it should be eliminated completely. Casting it aside is only sweeping the dirt underneath the rug and not actually getting rid of it permanently.
outthetube 2 years ago
Finally, you falsely attempted to cast some of my statements as "soft spot" instead of what they actually are (undiluted truth). I am not surprised you have a hard time dealing with it. You don't want to admit you are wrong. Ever since I started researching this thing called "Nigerian Sentiment" I've realized the best way to deal with is by speaking undiluted truths and pointing out all illogical expressions like the ones you've made.
outthetube 2 years ago
As part of my work as a Black African ancient & recent history researcher, writer, preserver, my work is not only limited to the damages of colonialism on Black African peoples and their environments. My work equally focuses on studying Black psychological state and attempting to assess the damage. You still have a chance to break away from deeply conditioned negativity called "Nigerian Sentiment"; if you want. Else, further depths of the damages of this "Nigerian Sentiment" will be revealed.
outthetube 2 years ago
...and acquiring modern musical instruments and worst of all, denying the existence of a disease that slaughtered him is hugely hypocritical enough. If these are the basis of your sentimentality, wow. You need to wake up. The statements I made are logical enough to grasp; likewise the term I used (i.e. 'soft spot') as sensitive protection for the exaltation of mediocrity are succinct enough to understand.
7olusegun 2 years ago
7olusegun, again, you make absolutely no sense. Your attempts to gain logical edge over me without challenging your deep flaws will only lead you to frustrations. As I said before, as part of my studies as to why Black Africans can't work with each other to build their nations (mostly as a result of colonialism and the by-products of post-colonialism), I focused on Nigerians, Ghanaian, Kenyans and others.
You might be a permanently damaged individual and possibly can't see it.
outthetube 2 years ago
You're obviously bent to selling the idea that Fela somehow contributed to the ills of your homeland. The problem is, you can't see just how poisonous you are. Individuals like you multiplied by a few thousands and putting in position to run a government will gives you clear idea of why Nigeria and other Black African nations have had a difficult time developing.
Rather than pressuring yourself and continue responding aimlessly, you should focus on fixing you and let go of your hate for Fela.
outthetube 2 years ago
'Meaninful talking' involves teling the truths of what most people are ignorant of (and not what they already know). 'Casting sentiments aside' involves abandoning what makes up the content of such sentiment completely (not merely storing it under the rug). I know you have a soft spot for the typical Nigerian mentality. Fela's claim of being maverick yet traveling to places like US...
7olusegun 2 years ago
7olusegun, you're absolutely wrong.
Fela didn't have to claim anything. People claimed and he accepted. Fela merely attempted to communicate his views through his music with the hopes that people would listen. Just like anything else, it is all an attempt, a gamble to open peoples eyes. If people connect with the message, the messenger is remembered. It is funny how you're trying to intellectualize illogical statements you made earlier while holding your baseless grudges on Fela.
outthetube 2 years ago
Further more, your idea of "soft spot" makes no sense just like all your other illogical word spinning. Where your logic really falls short is the fact you don't realize that new generations are born and the same messages need to repeated. This is how people, cultures and traditions survive. Therefore, telling the truth is always "Meaninful talking" no matter how many people know.

You with this similar mindset's soft spot is an example.
7olusegun 2 years ago
7olusegun, I told you you would be frustrated if you continued to respond aimlessly and now you're becoming even more illogical as anger finds you increasingly attractive. Next, all your commonsense may go out the window and you'll resort to pure insults. Most Nigerians I've met and dealt with are usually humble, very smart, hard working, God fearing individuals who pray for and have high hopes for their motherland. Most Black Africans from Nigeria are good people.
outthetube 2 years ago
On the other hand, there are other Nigerians with disturbing mixtures of deep negativity and contorted logic who are often smart enough but too negatively conditioned to think and see clearly. Cloudy state of minds hampers their efforts to think clearly. Right now, you seem to fit this description and I've dealt with many just like you. This is why you're so predictable and that frustrates you. In the end the ball will always be on your court to make the final moves. I only observe and report.
outthetube 2 years ago
As an example of how illogical you've become (disregarding your insults), you asked:
"What has colonialism excuse got to do with a nation's development?" (in relations to Black Africans)
Colonialism and post colonialism played a major role why there is a lack of development in Africa because the colonial dictators looted, destroyed and rewrote a great portions of your history as Black African.

The negative "mindset" of some Nigerians you speak of is result of complete mis-education and lack of complete pride of being a Nigerian which can be traced back to highly poisonous and powerful colonial human-instruments like Mary Slessor who single handled damaged many Black African minds. This missionary woman, on her mission, falsely thought your Great-Grand parents that they were innately bad and your forefathers believed the lie and passed it on.

Mary Slessor is just one example of countless examples of the Euro-Western contribution in manipulation and undermining the Black Africa's psychological state (what you now call "mindset of the nigerian").

I can tell you this is virtually impossible. I continue to study Nigeria's colonial history and the damages is still very evident.

But I expected Fela, an educated man to have been more responsible and not propagating lies, saying AIDS aint exist while simultanously he was slowing dying of it and through his influence, encouraged the spread of this nasty illness. No doubt Fela is very talented. I also listen to some of his politically motivated tunes. This is the only problem I had with this guy called Fela. Stop using tradition of 'not speaking ill of the dead' as an excuse for the ills of men. Men's evil lives after them.
7olusegun 2 years ago
7olusegun ,quite a thoughtful reply.However this tradition stems from the simple reason that the dead are unable to defend themselves thus denied a fair hearing. I agree that Fela's views on the invincibility of Africans to the to AIDS was misguided but this would imply the imposibility of him contemplating or accepting he had it . A man of Fela's integrity does not deal in lies. Read Soyinka's death and the Kings Horseman and you will understand to an extent what Fela was really about.
jide1000 2 years ago
Ok; but there are many things in the Yoruba tradition that are wrong or fallacious (such as 'incarnation' (as in Babatunde, Yetunde etc) and what you just mentioned: that the dead cannot defend themselves). It's good to have true knowledge and act wise. I think anyone in Christ that dies is defended by His (Jesus) blood forever in heaven and will also know that the 'incarnation' nonsense is a demonic lie. Fela was a maverick 'orisha' worshipper who claimed to have death in his pouch. I respect.

Can you possibly go to the hospital where he died to verify his authentic death cause? His lifestyle fits well the profile. Also his senior brother (Olikoye Kuti) verified it publicly for the benefit of the masses (whom Fela deceived of AIDS existence). No right thinking man would deliberately declare the cause of death of his blood brother (in the medical field) except it is extremely mandatory and the truth raw. Fela was a public figure. His wives might had been dying piecemeal in silence.

I can understand if I had won millions of dollars to take to the bank just by watching fela on your page..I know its in the water!!!how many websites does fela appear?? so this is one of your battles...your blood pressure must be high..fyi the channel is poorly posted to begin with..go to the zoo and see other big cats like tigers you must be a house cat

thats like a drop in the ocean, fela got deeper in the struggle when his enemy was just as relentless!!!things got more and more complicated when the govt threw his mama from the window..i mean things got ugly..i choose the struggle part of Fela hey dont get me wrong it sexy too just as the love songS GREAT YOU FELA MAN!!
keychautadotcome 3 years ago
i dont really listen to love songs like fela said i prefer songs that reflect the struggle cos thats my enviroment, instead of broken hearts pick up your arms..at the same time party with felas jams..love brings about sobs sobs no i want courage and hold my head up and say what i mean and mean i say..goodbye love song no bearing in my life too old been there been done dat!!no results other than heartace!!!!
keychautadotcome 3 years ago
I see & hear ya...
Songs of "Sorrows Tears & Blood," "Confusion Break Bone," "Everything Scatter"... lyrics that expose and highlight corruption, misrule and injustice. But earlier in his career especially with KOOLA LOBITOS, FELA did pen a few love songs... like the classic "Ololufe Mi" (LOVER), "My Baby Don't Love Me" and later "Beautiful Dancer" to mention a few...

please repost this song cos the visual is fuzzy do some justice to this piece my fav both parts 1 and 2
keychautadotcome 3 years ago
That video went thru a stage of converting it from PAL to NTSC format. That caused some of the fuzziness and wobbles. Sorry, that's the best quality that I have to offer. If more people keep complaining rather than enjoy or appreciate the effort to share this, I will take it offline.
zookat 3 years ago
no please dont do that i thought theres a better way, believe me, i understand, leave GREAT FELAS MUSIC on there and thank you for keeping close to the communities veiw point I appreciate i personally wouldnt know what to do without this particular song!!! thanks

keychautadotcome 3 years ago
You be like the kind person whey FELA yapped for his "JEIN-JEIN" tune.
"J'EHIN-J'EHIN"
This tune is called, "J'ehin-J'ehin"
Which in broken English means, "Chop-Teeth, Chop-Teeth"
Somebody who eats, eats his teeth...
And only a fool can eat his teeth..."
