please can you explain what delay has done

[@hakeemabiola]

October, 2020 and the words of this song woke remain relevant. Soldiers opened fire at unarmed protesters at Lekki toll gate here in Lagos. R.I.P Fela Anikulapo Kuti, I'm here still wondering how you survived these people because the whole activity is starting to take its toll on our mental strength. Let it be on record, everything you said on this track happened exactly within our very own unknown government.

[@LadyDuchess]

When I first heard about the Lekki massacre this song came to my mind immediately.

[@theelectricprince8231]

Leki massacre did not happen. The Nigerian military is abusive but Lekki was an incredible lie

It shall never be well with the government of Nigeria for killing Fela's mother. A woman who worked so hard for the betterment of not just Nigeria but Africa as a whole. The government of Nigeria are evil, perhaps the atrocities they did years ago and still doing in recent time is the reason why the country cannot move forward. Great music👍💥💢💯
