Christianity is the cause of most evil bcoz it's not Jesus at all the Catholic church. It's fear guilt used to control, profit,power. It's slavery. The church,priest etc etc it's just a mask, a fake shop,a fake business using Jesus name to PROFIT, CONTROL. IT DOESNT EXIST REALLY ITS ONLY FEAR GUILT. BIBLE AND CHURCH IS EXACT OPPOSITE OF REAL JESUS. VATICAN,POPE ETCIS EVIL AS HELL ALL HEAVEN HELL BUSINESS MUSLIM JEW CATHOLIC ITS ALL JUST FEAR GUILT USED TO CONTROL PROFIT POWER. THE DESIGNS IS TO KEEP IN A "FEAR GUILT LOOP FROM BIRTH TO DEATH" THE PRAYER,CHURCH,SONG,GIVE MONEY,RESTRICTIONS ITS ALL THE LOOP. ITS SLAVERY, LIKE COMMUNISM ISNT IT. CONTROL.

[@donkenobi]

Shook his hand after a show once in his “shrine”. He was exhausted and came to the back of the hall where he plonked in a chair with his arms hanging from the back rest. I approached. No bodyguards. He was a true man of the people. Sitting, watching the stage, with a huge crowd behind him. Totally exhausted. “Good evening sir (it was early in the morning hit who cared 😎) can I just please shake your hand?” I asked the great man. Until just now, I never understood his response. His response was “Why? Why? Why? Why?” Opening his huge palms and giving me a sting handshake. Why? = “Why would you even ask, just walk up and stretch your hand…” He was a true man of the people. One of a kind. True legend. True son of Africa. #dk #OldManInTheMolue Forgot to add: This happened in May 1987. 35 years ago…. I was 24 years old 😃😎✌🏾

To the family of mr Fela kuty ( a man with eagle eyes ) don't let no body through word at u to make u be silent. ur Dad was not the first man to introduce Ganja to Nigerians nor the only man who has many women ,comi g ti analyzed his life and other Afican / Nigerian men Fela was honest and opened in all his ways every child and man knew what he was upto ( doing) . most of men have many girlfriends in their closet even those whose religion permits them to married only one wife . what is spoiling Nigerian youth is poverty , injustice ,tribalism ,Religion intolerance ,bad Roads ,lack of equipments in our Hospitals lack of democricy etc ..Fela saw what was coming and he was oreaching and singing it ,but some of us where blind to see and some where deaf to hear, can any listen to his music today and tell me that mr Fela Kuty was mad or singing because he has just finished smoking Ganja or he was singing the truth that was and it is now and even worse then tha t time. . Finally he who has ni sin let him cast the stone on Fela or continue to cast stone . Fela is a hero since he can smoke Ganja and still stand for the truth and worn us and those of us who are not can not sense the Danger then we may as well smoke it . he has many women and children and was able to show them lovre and keep them together, and teach them about their culture and to be hard working and law abiding citizen , while those who didnot smoke have secret children ,secret wives,houses that their money (salary )cannot buy . money that they cannot account for on hw they make then smoking Ganja seems ti be better then having a sober mind . lets' stop the hypocrisy and face reality ,Fela Kuty should be one of our great Heroes because he do what he preach his life was very transparent . he was nit a christian nir a Muslim,But his life was an open book that all can read ,but how about us who are casting stone at him and his children.? if the night should turn into day ,many of us will run away and wish the ground could ooen to hide ⁿŘ⅝ law wages ,

i had the privelege of seeing Fela and the Africa 70 perform live. It was several decades ago. The repetitive beat, incessant rhythmn, shamanic dancing, chanting, full pulsing stage and the thick ganga filled air made for an intoxicating experience. I had to leave after several hours as the never ending pulse was sending me into a trance (which may have been the intention) It was an awesome experience - and not in the west coast teen, gee, fuckwit sort of awesome - but in a total, all encompassing experience. Not necessarily my most enjoyable concert experience but one of the most unforgettable.

The Pseudo is correct, from 14.37 in the song Fela clearly says go to various countries like Britain, France, Iran, Korea etc, it's their culture that is A TEACHER to them (and no African country gets a mention in his list) , fela then goes on at about 16.04 to say 'who be our teacher, na oyinbo' he talks about the travesty of democracy in Nigeria then 17:52 'I NO GREE TO FOLLOW OYINBO STYLE', he goes on to tear apart democracy as practiced in nigeria and supported by the west as DEMONSTRATION OF CRAZY,from what I listened to the core of the song is still that Africans should follow their own culture to teach/govern them. Basically if Africans were not following other people's culture it would not be in a position where it is getting it wrong and being taken advantage of. Fela also briefly notes that as for the teachers not correcting the wrong in what was being practiced clearly was paying them some kind of dividend hence they not only didn't correct them but additionally supported the wrong doing.

[@kolaadejobi4833]

@ victor jegede voodoo was his religion that's what he believed in. what religion you believe in ? hypocritical

[@tayoawoniyi3126]

+Kola Adejobi This is a reply for Victor and Kola. I saw both your replies and I must say they touched me to such an extent that I needed to reply. I regret to say that I do not believe that any of you have a true understanding of Fela or the culture that gave birth to him. You have no understanding of the yoruba religion or their cultural science. You are both the results of the cultural colonisation of the that Fela was fighting against. You called his religion i.e. spirituality voodoo. I would like to state that Fela never practised voodoo. Voodoo is a derogatory term used by Europeans and white Americans to demean and undermine the original religions of the African people. It is a term that was coined by Hollywood filmmakers to demean the Africans who practised non-Christian religions in regions of the Caribbean i.e. Haiti and the southern states of America i.e. the southern tip of Florida. The term voodoo is a mispronunciation of the Fon word Vodun. Vodun is a state religion practised in the Benin Republic. The fact that you demean Fela by saying he is a voodooist shows your ignorance of the great man and your own great African cultural history. Fela worshipped the Orisha. Most notably Ifa, Ogun, Osun and ultimately Eledumare. He was an Orisha man. The title of the song is extremely pertinent as it is so depressing and validated by history and current malaise of my people. There is a saying "the poor wretched man has no choice in the clothes that were given to him by charity". meaning he will walk down the street wearing the second-hand clothes of his neighbours looking like a fool.

lol teacher done teach me nonsense all my life ooo at uni level i passed coz of what i had read out of my own interest and wat life done taught me oo. fela was right all along.. now i will make sure my daughter dont get taught nonsense in plenty..

[@hermeswright523]

Oh what a performance it was thirty years ago this month at The Fox Theater in Detroit ! The brash horns were the politically charged counterpoint to the hypnotic rhythm and raw tribal sway of the dance line with Fela and his numerous wives. The man was a force on and off stage, an enduring voice against oppression.

[@Bear-of1on]

This guy, Fela, is explosively dynamic......a staple of relevant traditional Nigerian musicians. His ability to blend jazz, soul, funk, reggae and African rhythms and melody is done with effortless craftsmanship. Fela makes it a genre all of itself. The message is just as clear in the music.....teacher being the colonial power structure and it's systemic collaboraters. The appeal here is being requested on behalf of the student.....the effected and unfortunate victims of slavery and dispossessed people's and land due to the extreme force and rule of the European conquerer class. Democracy is derided, " demonstration of krehs....dem' ah dey krehs......dem ah krehs see. Genius twist on characterizing the convolution of the European political, societal, and cultural complexion as it relates to the true African......and to the effect of subverting the African idea of self, energy and resource. Ofcourse the lyrics say it better. The colonial powers here are looked at not with total disregard or disdain because of the ill nature of their heritage and purpose.....credited only to the belief in the validity in their crimes and mijustices.

WOW çan you say that again but slower

@@sisternettie well I remember writing this on a late night after snorting a few toots of speed. I submitt, in reflection, my more sober dismissal of such confusing discourse. Good night !!! 😜
