In dramatic fashion, afrobeat legend "Fela Anikulapo Kuti" resurrected in Lagos to add voice to the struggle of Nigerian's over the recent fuel subsidy and other problems plaguing the Nigerian society. The afrobeat Legend, human rights activist and political maverick in many of his songs addressed the social issues that are currently plaguing the country.Protesters at the "Occupy Nigeria" gathering eulogized Fela by playing some of his tracks from his hit albums "Zombie" and "Gentleman" which voiced out against government oppression. Nigerian's today have decided like Fela not to sit still, but to stand up for their rights.

  • fools

  • stupid pple.......after entertaining u go bk to ur various home!!!!

  • why the unnecessary biff, these guys are called distractions that keeps the spirit going not. he is not claiming to be fela or anyhting near it. As you can hear in the back ground other guys are talking. I am sure most of you have not been involved in protest before, if you have you wont come here and talk about wanting to die when you know the indiscipline of our forces. If you are really willing to lay down your own life just go out as others did and demonstrate, you will be remembered

  • This is just one reason we'll remain where we are. Protest with no direction...and the idiotic government knows this. After one week, the masses gets tired of protesting and we all go back to face the same real issues.....Everybody de fear, no one 1 die....

  • killayut..go back to bunibuni and make yo miserable assertions.The same so called democracy slaughtered over 4 lives. Can u for once be reasonable.

  • Misrepresentation of Fela!

  • d naked guy representing fela doesnt make sense!!!
