Would Nigeria ever see another man like the man Fela Kuti?

-
I got a couple of cool old school music, off of my Dad's laptop quite recently. Some Don Williams, Jim Reeves, Bob Marley, Ebenezer Obey, King Sunny Ade, Prince Morocco Maduka and of course some of the greatest tracks ever made by the man Fela Anikulakpo Ransome Kuti.

After listening to tracks by Fela like

"Teacher don't teach me nonsense",

"My grammarticalogylisationalism is the boss"

"International theif theif"

And "Army Arrangement"

I was forced to wonder, would God ever be so kind as to produce another man so controversial as the man named Fela in the Land of Nigeria again?

Singing about the woes and tales of the average Nigerian man Fela idolized himself by openly criticizing the government and pointing out their flaws and corruption like a litmus paper showing the acidic nature of the then Nigerian government for all to see.

A great pioneer, a greater musician and lyrical prophet, Fela's works are still largely appreciated and even commonly referred to by the now generations of the land, some of whom don't even know much about the history of the man Fela and even that of the land Nigeria which he loved so much.

Way back in primary and secondary schools, learning to speak fluent English Language, the Additions, Subtractions and further mathematics amongst other subjects. But most outstanding about that time were the songs we sang growing up in school. None of them won any music awards back then and I'm almost certain none would win any now. (Not in the present times we find ourselves living in.) Photo credit: Google images Here's the Lyrics to my favourite song back then: shoutout to all who knows this song. "The day is bright, it's bright and fair, oh happy day, the day of joy. The day is bright, it's bright and fair, oh happy day of joy". Then for the fun of it overzealous persons like myself would scream out "mama jollof rice" just because it pisses off one of the frustrated school teachers whose job it was to try and educate us stubborn youngsters.

Photo credit: Google images Your worst enemies might be the ones you call best friends and your best friends could be your worst enemies. We eat, we drink, we smoke, we dance, we laugh, we talk, we keep our days memorable and our time spent together has become more or less daily rituals. Photo credit: Google images But Bob Marley sang "Who the cap fits" and I listened. Now I keep picturing the cap and imagining it's size and the shape of head of every one of my foes and my allies. Photo credit: Google images The hands on the clock keeps on ticking and I'd only stop telling time when I'm asleep or dead and gone. So who the cap fits would have to wear it, so I can tell of what use they are to me and what purpose they serve for good or for evil.
