The palanists are here to present your Sunday dose of provoking thoughts after this break. Everything in Nigeria is going to kill you. The anointed musical beef and the Lagos local government election. It was my linear friend, Dr. Ayo Shogunro Uro the book. Everything in Nigeria is going to kill you. He wrote, my relentlessly pursuit of an understanding of the survival ability of the average Nigerian in a system that is definitely dysfunctional. Some of us complain. Some of us protest. Some of us go spiritual and see many others go material. And also a few of us turn to the arts of solace. We write not to kill other people of madness but to avoid going mad ourselves. He introduced the book to me at the bar somewhere in Ilupeju in Lagos. I think I bought in solidarity but as a Christian I believe in the power of words so I did not read it. I cannot locate the book now. Judging by the title, it seems the writer is right after all. If you are lucky to escape the physical arm, recent happening with deadening your humanity and feeling. A friend reported how it was robbed at gunpoint. He laughed while narrating the story. His audience also laughed. Many videos on social media have shown where people get robbed in broad daylight at Taquangon, a co-bridge, Lekea Kwaespreswe, Agege, even at the federal capital territory of Buja. The house of the chief of staff to the president was robbed right at the heart of the most secured premises in our country. Police stations have been attacked and policemen and women killed. Police so? The policies is in shambles, security is nowhere, nobody is talking about us to strike again. Our consciences are fading away. Is Nigerian killing us? Is Nigerian killing our humanity? Away from all the problem around, let us relax a bit. Last week was the week of a night-time musical beef on the song ʻUni duro mi eʻShe'o. Like most of the views that have been expressed on the subject, I stand against the direct diss by evangelist Tokyalabi. I stand with Adenye Kaa Alashiyori, whose name I know, thanks to the evangelist. Beef between musicians is not uncommon. Those in the hip-hop world will not easily forget two-pack and biggie beef. They both paid with their lives. The jury is still out there, whether it was the beef that occasioned their eventual death. Nigeria has this fear of lirika wars and beefs amongst its musicians. For those who could remember the interesting war between Alaji Sikirua in the Barista and General Kulintiangela, you go fair titles. Whilst Alaji Akbar was measured in his lines, general took no prisoners in his lirika attacks on Barista. There were negative undercurrents between King Sonia Day and Naeva Jelise Benizalbe. They were in the abit of denying beef, but their talking drummers and guitarists were always quick to contradict them at the slightest opportunity with invectives, eating in sands of drums and guitars. Saido Shupa, aka Saridon Pee, Saridon Papa, or Shupa, or King of Music, as his long drum battle with Wasio Alabi Pasuma, aka JSM Alaji, Popsia Liya, Baba Wasila, Omo Yawa Nobi. This was what had taken to the streets and the first were often violent. Lost in between is the beef between two face and face. The beef between the widow and the whiz kid is nothing new. There is extreme violence, but of course, in violence on Twitter and Instagram. I heard rumors about beefs between the double legend Osita Osadebe and Oliver the Coke. Thus, beef in the gospel music world is just another with anointing. Of course, I side with Adeni Kala Shiori, the subject of the diss from Enjibandia Listopu Alabi. Please, don't let the Nigerian fact or kill you. Your conscience, humanity or humanness. Join the gossip, it's interesting. The good side is that you will not be wrong. Before I forget, the Lagos stage local government election is near. Please participate. It is your right. It is your obligation. I must say that I had to hold my... I really had to... That was quite an interesting one, I must say. And the way we went from the gospel artist to the secular artist was quite interesting, but I do find it slightly... Should I say, I mean, I don't want to sound really aggressive, but I do find it slightly distasteful that at some point, because of the religious connotations, I believe that they could have in some decorum and some better handling of the crisis between Enjibandia Listopu Alabi and what's her name? Alashiori. Alashiori. I believe that if you've had something to say to her, there might have better ways to handle it, but then who knows, that may just be my opinion and she may have done what she felt was directed of her to do. Who am I to talk about it? Well, to speak to this, I think that when it comes to the territory, there will always be beef. And in a sense, growing up back in the day with Tupac and Biggie and just seeing what had played out, you understand that you can't always run away from it, but in this particular incident, I see the context of it around the IP. And if you're talking about an IP infringement, there are legal ways to pursue that, but I'll also, in a sense, think about it. In most of us, I'll be doing songs that were raised on even more than money musicians. Have they ever bothered to add full roti? And how long are these IPs available for? And if you want to do someone's song, maybe get it right. But again, a claim for IP is not something you throw out on social media. I think there are legal ways to express that. But in this case? Okay, I don't think it was the case of intellectual property. But the truth is, I count that at the risk of sounding arrogant, I count it so beneath me to even have an opinion about that. Because as far as I'm concerned, I have little to no respect for Tupper Alabi, whoever it is, I really do not. I won't even bother justifying that crap with a comment of mine. That's just how I feel about it. Kema, that is another dimension today. But then I would say to talk to what Fedi has said. I really think that in this particular case, Tupper Alabi was very vocal from what I read, that she believes that it wasn't and it was a Holy Spirit-inspired song. That wasn't what it was. And that the only duro that is my garanto in English, the person who stands behind me is sure that you can't diminish God and place Him as your garanto. And I'm thinking... Where I have a problem. You see, my problem with the claim, particularly in this part of the world, is the disgusting, self-deluded interpretation of what God is and who God is. And people trying to force their personal opinions down the throats of the gollible, but spiritually blind followers and following. So like I said, I don't even want to go into... I think it's beneath me, mentally and intellectually to talk about who is right or who is wrong. But I said we will not buy into that. Thinking about it, I think the point you are making is even bigger than just what we are discussing. And there you go. In the context of saying that we live in a society that is highly religious but short on spirituality. So people are caught up in just following the treadmill, going after and regurgitating what other people are saying. But spirituality is... Every human has a sense of coming into their own awareness of spirituality. And I think the customization and imposing a particular model as the way to express spirituality, it's really not going to carry us into the future. I mean, it is more than anything else. Religion will always break. Religion cannot sustain also. But again, when you look at it in any context, is it worth our conversation? So the reason why it's worth our conversation is because it takes me away from all the problems of Nigeria. Oh, and an escape route. Yes. It's an escape strategy. And to tell you the truth, it takes away... So the person I was talking about was my colleague in the office and his car broke down. He joined the bus and he was robbed. And he was laughing about the story and it was funny to everybody. And something hit me, like we're really losing our humanity. So indeed, the writer friend of mine is right. When he said everything, Nigeria will kill you. It may not kill you physically. But so talking about the musical abuse and the ones that has got the anointing now is the escape strategy. Well, and I'm wondering as Nigerians how long we're going to keep escaping and what we're actually going to do. But then it's a good escape strategy. I must say, an interesting... I don't think so. It's not sustainable because it draws you deeper into a greater sense of confusion and commotion. But anyhow, let's just move it along. We keep the ball rolling. Yes, up next is Eneton. And she wants to tell us what Nigeria needs as regards living wages. Eneton, over to you.
