In this extract from Colonial Mentality, or Colomentality, we get a good impression of Nigerian Pidgin, which is actually a creole. The lyrics are also interesting because he talks about the Nigerian struggle to shed that colonial mentality.

  • La mentalité (néo)-coloniale existe à Tahiti, avec "l'aristocratie locale", les "demis", qui pompent le peuple en ponctionnant leurs revenus avec une fiscalité inéquitable. Que chacun écoute Fela Anipoulako Kuti ! Et dressons-nous contre ce système ! Thank you, Fela !

  • Colonial mentality still exists in Ireland too! Where some people dismiss the native language and cultural ways. Corruption has been rife for a long time. Drives me crazy when I meet these people!

    Love Fela Kuti!! My friends and I dance to Fela Kuti along with our own Celtic music in Gaillimh / Galway. Check out AfroCelt Soundsystem where African and Irish culture come together as one in music and dancing. Grá.
