  • his mass came to cry and wail i was a white ! lol! notice how we suddenly become "white" when we kick their insultiing backsides yet they dont attack whites they attack africans ! does that make any sense here? if we are white attack whites but seeing that senses are clearly lacking they attack us instead, i suspect mainly cos they are scared whites will just deal with them they think we are easier targets .. please go on the i love nigerian women board, and go back a couple of pages to have

  • did you see his post where he threatened to shoot nigerians in pa? he did that on the da grin board where Squareguadian kicked his ass and a couple of nigerians beat his dumb posts before the naijaboyz blocked him and the other miserablegit.. lol! they are all miserable and jealously resentful of africans , i dont blame them, of course they hate us, its under MUST .. this one in particular sent some congolese troll to attack nigerians on a board i will send you , when i smacked that bitch up

  • @OfTheChosen : hahaha you all are suckers for Queen of Vagina. She takes men for a ride and if you listenm to her she says she uses men to tickle her vagina and that men are stupid. How smart can any woman be to make money singing trash and keep her body fully clothed. She is all covered up while other women are doing it cheap by showing their boobs and vagina on youtube. Thats a smart Nigerian woman all out to make fast money playing on ur sexual perverted minds...lol.. Oh boy!

  • @omoibile this fool has threatened to shoot nigerians , he has made an anti nigerian vidoe using congolese genocide images, when youtube took off the vlog he just renamed it and put it on again "HisBannerOverMe1 and other nigerians came on to kick his ass and all he could do was minge, wail, alongside his massa "princeofassholes" together with miserableasshithead crying that nigerians are foul creatures and they are going to attack us on sight! he even says so on Naijaboyz vido of DaGrin. we

  • @omoibile the reason he now resrrected this old channel is because we embarassed him on his "8thH " name so many times it has now become tedious.. his constant insults towards nigerians he was doing on behalf of ghana when he claimed to be "ghanaian" came to a halt when some ghanaians told him to shut up.. as for nollywoodlove am enjoying myself on the channel now that these beasts have been run off , they threatened to block them and of course they all ran away! lol! he is now trolling and

  • nice! sounds almost like samba :)

  • swagga jackers will always try to claim our shine shine..

  • brilliant even before i knew the meaning now it makes even more sense as I know Fela would not suffer fools (nor regimes) gladly . I think we all have been there some time behaving like shakara it takes a wise person though to see through their own vanity a critic can only be constructive when the receiver accepts shared knowledge

  • This is a very excellent joint. I'm alawys hearing this joint at true Hip Hop culture events like Rock Steady crew,Zulu nation,etc. every year. by the way,thanks for posting.

  • on n'aura plus de chanteurs comme ça, il est comme franco, manu dibango, myriam makeba

  • FELA IS A GENIUS, WHAT WE DID NOT SEE HE SAW THEN AND WAS TALKING ABOUT THEM, NOW SEE WHERE WE ARE. NIGERIA IS A SHAME AROUND THE WORLD. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  • @jamic78 : IT WAS ALL FINE UNTIL YOU ENDED IT WITH NIGERIA BEING A SHAME AROUND THE WORLD. YOU ARE A SHAME FOR THE COMMENT BECAUSE NIGERIA HAVE DONE NOTHING TO BRING THE WORLD ECONOMY DOWN NOR HAVE CASE OF MURDER AND WARS LIKE OTHERS. COM'ON NOW! TELL ME ONE SHAME THEY BROUGHT TO THE WORLD AND I WILL TELL YOU HUNDREDS BY OTHERS. LONG LIVE NIGERIA!

  • @omoibile I'm sorry but you must take your head out of the sand. Nigeria is no worse than any corrupt gov't in other parts of the world but it is corrupt. Recently, my niece was shaken down seriously while traveling in Lagos. I warned her and she also received notification from the U.S. gov't but she was so-called in love with a Nigerian. Murders, cannibalism in some parts, gov't corruption, persistent scams. Check your spam box too!

  • @valdancer52 ; POCKET YOUR SORROW AND GO AND BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND FOR THE BIG LIES YOU WROTE. TELL ME THE NAME OF YOUR NIECE, WHEN IT HAPPENED AND WHERE IS THE STATE IT TOOK PLACE. NIGERIA DON'T HAVE SUCH CASES OF MURDER LIKE YOU HAVE IN YOUR COUNTRY SO OBVIOUSLY IF SUCH THING HAPPENED IT WOULD BE FRONT PAGE NEWS. YOU'RE A JEALOUS LOW EGO PIECE OF SHIT TROLLING ON OUR VIDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY A NIGERIAN OR OTHER STOP SPREADING FAKE RUMOUR, IT MAKES YOU LOOK STUPID.

  • @valdancer52 : WHO IN THEIR RIGHT SENSES TAKE SPAM MAILS SERIOUSLY? EXCEPT FOR GULLIBLE FOOLS LIKE YOU. I DON'T BUY MIRACLE TAB LETS OR PILLS SENT TO ME BY DAY VIA E-MAIL FROM YOUR SCAMMERS. I DO MY SHOPPING AT REGISTERED SITES AND PHAMACY BECAUSE I'M SMARTER THAN YOU ARE.... OFCOURSE I HAVE TO BE SMART AFTERALL I'M A NIGERIAN! MAYBE WE SERVE YOUR AMBASSADORS IN NIGERIA HUMAN FLESH FOR DINNER...LOL.. (HISS) IMBECILE!

  • @omoibile you dont take any prisoners.. hahahaha love it..

  • @SuperQueenofAfrica : hahaha ... don't mind that low ego idiot. I'm enjoying Fela full time and miserable vadancer52 can't stop me. He must be going through hell watching our happy fun vids.. lol...

  • @omoibile you know they hate to see africans enjoying themselves. lol "misery loves company" they are a miserable lot and love to moan and minge, i guess its the american way ..lol! whinge and complain , whites, do it, black do it, infact they all do it, so when the blacks see africans having a good time, celebrating themselves they go into seething hate mode.. na dem sabi , i dont care.. i go enjoy yt wahala ti won ni ye.. all dem oni yeye.. especially that fool "ofthechosenfreak" hahahaha

  • @SuperQueenofAfrica : Don't mind them Jare my sister, Na jealousy dey worry dem.. I guess some of those Americans you talked about have some emotional issues within them, I pray they have peace of mind to be able to deal with their mental promblems. I heard 80% of americans are mentally imbalance (insane) and everyday on youtube make me to believe that conclusion is true. Americans come with wierdest hypothesis and imaginations that make me wonder if they are all on crack...lol...

  • @omoibile dem dey craze well well, hahah akata ti oni lari.. and jealousy worry dem full on .. when they cant get what they want they scream and rant , its the way the do things.. just go on the i love nigerian board to see how we smacked them right upside their dumb heads.. this is what happens to all that weed smoking.. by the way 8thH and "ofthechosen" are the same idiot.. on his 8thH channel this fool has plenty of white people of course he is also an "importer and Exporter" of 419 ....

  • @omoibile I LOVE NIGERIANS

  • @jamic78 did nigeria bring down the worlds economies here? just saying so please "foot in mouth " disease is not going to catch us here.. take your hatred for us away from here.. NIGERIA IS ONE.. "haters can only hate they cant debate, cos we are great"

  • Few days ago, i watched a movie.. the protagonist gives his best CD to his friend.

    I am so glad of such discovery XD

  • @Marliebana What movie?

  • Just listening to this song with powerful speakers! What a great sound effect!

  • Fela Kuti is the King of All Music!

  • He sings in Yoruba?

  • de la classe de la grande classe notre fella

  • baba eleniyan , fuck dem bagas , you have inspired me , always remind me of my childhood , my oldman cant stop playing this tune on his turn table ........

  • Great Fela Kuti !!!!!!

  • In our channel there is video with this song

  • I don't understand, that 'beat you, kill you' segment, what is that referring too?

  • @RiversideIndian ...to the shakara man. A man who talks big (stating just how bad he can beat you up) but at the end of the day it's all talk. The term Shakara can apply to both a woman or man., just depends on the context.

  • @ngenes2006 THANKS

  • @ngenes2006- my dad is ghanaian and he tells me Shakara means....like when a man is threatening and talking badness in public when in reality he knows or prays there are people there to hold him back.

    Or...frightened people talking shit trying to show they are not frightened

  • @kottto22 Nigeria shakara means "showing off or bluffing"..its mostly used on women tho

  • @RiversideIndian

    Shakara in English means braggadocio.

    He is talking about people pretending and boasting to scare people. He picked examples of a having a public argument with a man and the man starts being threathening, when probably he is not as tough or capable. It is all Shakara (braggadocio).

    He talks about trying to chat up a woman on the streets. She starts fronting, saying she is not interested and go away, when she is actually very interested. It is all Shakara (braggadocio).

  • Oh I love this song..i be shakara...lol...yes sir!!!!

  • In addition, he talks about men who talk big but don't act.

  • Fela ...the best Il faut savoir que quand il a été incarcéré,il a divorcé de toutes ses femmes afin de leur rendre leur liberté...un grand!!!

  • AMAZING

  • legendary

  • What a classic..TRUE LEGEND!!!!This joint was played in my house 24/7 as a kid.

    Can see my family members jamminf to this with the smell of a grill...ahhh what fond memories classic tunes like this can bring back to the sole.

    His messages are very deep & still stand too this day. PEACE...

  • this is one of the most monsterous grooves ever created.

  • A girl who is fronting knowing you want to date her is doing Shakara.

  • It is impossible to hear this music and not dance around furiously.

  • LOOOOOOVE FELA.....danced to this beautiful piece of artistry at my wedding!

  • Comment #1. Who are you calling brotha? I can see from your ignorant and raqcist commentary that not only are you completely ignorant of Nigerian affairs, being a "brotha" as you call yourself, and I am "whitey". Oyingbo Nigeria to you you fanny, and you will never love or know Nigeria as well as I. Buck your ideas up fool!

  • craze man

  • One of my favorites of Fela Kuti works in his Music. This Nigerian brotha' was amazing. I just adore his talent..To bad he did not get this recognition in America, Whitey would of been so so so Afraid! This man would of woke up so many of the souls and bought the dead out of their graves..He is a true maestro...

    You shall always live FELA in spirit and all what you had done was giving by God, you've taught many and helped thousands..

  • Maybe Whitey would have dug his music??

  • Real groovy funk!

    First time listener here in Brazil. For those who like this kind of music I suggest you try Jorge Ben Jor and Tim Maia as well. PEACE!

  • 1986 ,i saw him these years in paris (quartier latin) was really a great moment ,father of the "afro beat " like Suny adé...

  • MoManny

    Can you translate the lyrics for me/

  • This song is hilarious!!! Ohh man... this song is timeless..it could have been made in 2009. Things are still this way. Sharaka o lo jey ni!!!

  • Fela, what's happening! We all miss you. Well, I guess, only God Knows. RIP.The Chief

  • Dj Romain made a nice house remix of this track. Fela your good works shall live on forever in our heart and minds.

  • Igbo boy in the house!!

    FELA, the apogee of Jazz music.

  • go fela go, i love this

  • Fela was the Weapon !

  • I can listen to this all day.

  • @vivikechy same here compadre

  • @vivikechy

    So true, this is real music

  • Translation please...Shakara!

  • Shakara means to behave proudly. In this song he was lambasting those men and women who comport themselves in a proud, egocentric way. Regards.

  • shakara literally means pride but in the context which he is using it, it means bluffing, fronting or just plain vanity.

  • Hi Gandanga. I Love Fela. Shakara speaks of women who pretends as though she dosn't care when advances are made by a guy, but indeed she truly cares for the guy and only pretends as though she doesn't. Fela calls this behavior SHAKARA OLOJE. It became a popular slang for women who pretend as though they don't care but indeed, are in love with the guy. Hope this helps. Fela is an Icon. Thanks Planet.

  • @LoveDialogue THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION!! LOVED IT! I SAW THE MUSICAL!! AMAZING!!

    LOVE AND ALWAYS PEACE

  • @LoveDialogue thanks for the explanation!

  • @LoveDialogue That was quite informative, thank you.
