A Look Back At Fela's Iconic Interview

 


Fela Iconiic interview with Mani Onumonu has come home to roost, He said that everybody is rewinding instead of moving forward, We are going back. He highlights the failure of the Education system to really teach Nigerians what he call a "Natural Education" and with the saturation of unemployed gaduates the which equals the entire population of the entire Scandinavia Countries, the entirety of Nigeria's civilization is on a powder keg 

The god of patience - Osoosi, The god tha allows us wait for life to come full circle was given credence to as Fela has been patient, even in death he is still patient as 40 years after his hit music, and 25 years after  his death, Fela is still underground and taboo for radio station all across Nigeria. But one day, Africans will learn the truth.
Unyielding to the idea of marriage, he said if you know good and bad you have a simple life to live, what is good is always simple. Know yourself, Know why your country is in this state and don't harm your fellow man, Every other thing is false.

Fela liberated me from the shackles of slavery, from the worship of the blue eyed God, the institutionalism of the black mind and ghetto mentality. The mediocrity and the lack of beauty that has haunted us for generation, the lattices of slavery that have scarred our minds and made us backward and the demon religion of Christianity that have further driven us away from each other in particularism, greed and avarice, For that i owe this man so much gratitude.

Until we all do, He will wait patiently for us, because everything he has said is the truth
