[alawooz]

RIP hero of the people... we will forever love you Fela

[TheMatanmi]

Mr Bamkole..Ole

[AdAnthony1]

Should have Been one of Our presidents A man that cared not like the Bullshit Naria stealing fools we have have had in power ever since.

Long live Fela's music. Mr Naturalsex, things sure have got worst for 90% of Nigerian people.

God help us Quick !!!!!!

[soulrocker4real]

@AdAnthony1

Same prayer since independence. I think we are jinxed : ( !

[dipojones]

@AdAnthony1 God aint helping no one..you people need to help yourselves. STOP electing rouges. Election period comes and everyone votes for the same assholes that have been stealing since the 70's. It seems everyone is just plain brainwashed/retarded. These politicians say the same shit every time and never do anything, yet Nigerians keep voting.

[AdAnthony1]

@dipojones

I Agree.....

For the Record I have never voted for any one

All very much the same as each other.

money grabbing crooks...

Fela could never have lead the country because like most of us he had his problems

but he was a great musicologist.

Peace to one and All.....

Tony.....

[painti006]

There is much I want to say about this beautiful song, there are no words to express what I want to say. Fela lives in spirit :0)

[xxBaghdadixx]

Very Nice Fellaaaaaaaaaaa

[justwanna007]

Which of the Nigerian parties or leaders would admit their 'theifery' characteristics?

[KetuEjirin1]

Problem of Nigeria politics.

[princessadekunbi1]

Fela would have been a great reformer of Nigeria if he choose the way Nelson Mandela route. The foreign government saw him as a rogue and it was not so. The foreign goverment did nothing to here our cry because it is just one man crying about the corruption facing Nigeria. I wish were done different maybe it would hv brought changes to Nigeria. Anyway it does it matter Nigeria and Jamaica is a black man's country so that's y d foreign government do care.

[temi980]

MOTHER OF THE WORLD! And VIVA THE PRESIDENT FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI! I love this name! Thank's for posting these pearls!

[boomp]

You are Black. White is a false construct. Black is the essence of original humans

It calls the entire world to truth.

[sonofthedestroyer]

@boomp,

Amen

[sthaykins]

[krnziiz]

[TheLiveable]

It seems to me Nigeria is cursed with hoodlums who govern that country. With effort from men like Fela, the authority never changes, it is still looting like never before. Shameless bastards

[jennyblossom03]

mr co baba 70 u don talk but all authority in nija will never reipent na god go juge dem

[kinstube]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!

[meckerschorsch]

I na de armed rubber

Vote 4 FELA plenty

[spliffveron]

The only permanent condition is change. The absolutely corrupt Nigeria won't last forever. But in that pathetic country's case,blood will rain and rain.

[spiritwolf50]

never call Nigeria pathetic its great country its government is pathetic individuals are corrupt

[spliffveron]

@spiritwolf50 : U know what I meant. The country has everything to be greater than greatness itself,but those idiots in power should all be wiped off the face of the earth. I wish someone could do a Jerry Rawlings soon.

[dizasha1]

If you forgive a fox for stealing your chickens, he will steal your sheep.

[orgnice]

Catch am catch am theef theef theef

[1kency]

Quite a pity  that nobody tells Nigerian government of stealings anymore

[bbuteo]

Great mood, wonderful song. 5*****

[wamisho100]

እውነት

[slajaa]

Fela is a gee before those wanna be

[ironmanboy]

Fela!

[PeaceAndJustice357]

This song is off the hook for real. I happend to be watching a site called Afro video in 08' and saw a clip of this song and said damn I had to find it. This song is truth beyond truth and the sound is butter on toast.

[andreaprodan]

Totally agree.

Content, sound,sensuality.

[tetiraelian]

@PeaceAndJustice357 the bass is out of this world!! damn

[princessadekunbi1]

@PeaceAndJustice357 He called himself Abami Eda because of seeing and telling it the way it is. Authority thief pass arm robbery because all they need to do their dirty job is pen. The irony of it is that it still exist today in Nigeria. There is enough money for all Nigerians to be comfortable but few people are looting the money while many suffers to make ends meet. It is very sad and nothing is been done to change the corruption. All wants to hv piece of the pie once they are elected.

[bigbowldrop]

Eni, Eji Eta, Erin ... Abami eda ... Baba Lives on!!

[samcampmmgood]

does anyone know the name of the song that goes like this?

We Steal Like Rats

Make a Hole

Oil Flow

[seyeabrahams]

Anikulapo, you really put death in your pocket even at death. No more baba 70 but baba forever. Live on Baba forever

[thedrumster1990]

anikulapo doesnt refer to the pocket but to the quiver!!!

the vessel used to hold arrows.

[sunnyowo]

Authority stealing pass armed robbers,that song is for all our politicians. they will soon account for their misdeeds b4 their creator.they are all bunch of rogues. God bless somebody like Justice J.O. Oyewole.

[oldschoolsituationz]

this was africa's secret weapon, i remember when he would come to st. louis back in the 90s to sold out shows but a mostly white folks. i thank forever shasan adiribigbe for introducing me to this man. fela was raw with death in his pocket! lol! few african americans knew who he was. if we did black folks in america would be free! nigeria's bob marley and james brown all rolled up into one! love this post. i agree its not the full version.

[divinegeometry]

this aint the full length song! real song is 24 minutes long and has 2 parts, 1 with a lot of great solos and this part which has profound lyrics that profoundly describe the nature of government. go to your records store and try to find authority stealing!

[justwanna007]

Baba, ur words will always hold water

[phumieable]

best music ever to be made. the instrumental is brilliant. i have not heard the other kutis except a glimpse of femi. but he does not come to close to compare to the father. can sombody help with seun kuti link.

[spliffveron]

When U listen to Seun Kuti,you'll not only be scared,you'll be proud. I thought Fela was dead,but after listening to Seun's album... The Black President is still alive...and in Seun 100%.

[kululu0000]

Eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh tell dem Baba.

Na true talk be dat oooooooooooo

Long live Fela - Fela never die oooo.

[thesearethesuns]

[spliffveron]

If U think Fela Kuti is dead,listen to Seun Kuti. That man is not dead,Seun is a true clone,I can only imagine what he will turn into at 40. LONG LIVE THE KUTI CLAN!!!

[n75e]

Best Musician Ever!  Fela Forever!

[agwata5]

wealth based on money is not wealth, wealth is knowledge, social knowledge, relationship, love and earned freedom. Otherwise monetary wealth is broad daylight theft by law otherwise the daywalkers!

[cranearaba]

A man who had so much in terms of intellect but little in wealth compared to the greedy leaders. He did not build 30 ft wall round his shrine but allowed people to come into his home. A man I will tell his story to Kids, grand kids............

Baba lives forever

[guedrtz]

[Wavecurve]

I was present at the National stadium when Fela played this song for the first time.

[peteradepetun]

The first of his songs that i heard, still love as though it were yesterday. For me it ranks up there as one of his best piece. RIP Baba Anikulapo.

[SanAkASandra]
