The ‘Nigeria Jagajaga’ crooner, Eedris Abdulkareem has come again. The hip-hop artist’s new song now trending on social media, chronicles almost everything wrong with Nigeria.

Even if you are a foreigner, mere listening to this new song gives you an idea of the dire situation of Nigeria and her people.

The just released satirical song titled ‘Emilokan’, is presented as an interview and opens with disturbing photos showing hunger, suffering and hardship. And then the lyrics, “Emi lokan don turn ebi lokan…”

He brings up the issue of insecurity. “…imagine say na your grandchildren they kidnapped by soldiers for don scatter everywhere for Nigeria, common man no get money for ransom for his wife and children, after everything na kill dem go kill dem. See as naira dey fall against dollars, Emi lokan oti di ebi lokan and you say make we sacrifice for Nigeria…”

For clarity, Emi lokan is President Bola Tinubu’s electoral campaign slogan meaning it’s my turn. Eedris in the song says it has turned to ebi lokan (its hunger’s turn) because of the shameful multidimensional poverty ravaging the people.

Next, he condemns extravagant spending by the government. He mentions how amidst excruciating hunger, the government spends billions as travel allowance, Aso Rock maintenance, food and refreshments, for dogs and animals adding, ‘meanwhile hunger dey kill Nigerians’.

At this point, Eedris asks a pertinent question, ‘Wetin Nigerians do to warrant this treatment?” The chorus follows; ‘Tinubu government blame Buhari, Buhari government blame Jonathan…hunger dey, people are dying. Dis one don pass jagajaga ooo, Emi Lokan oti di ebi lokan…you know say Buhari was incompetent, you still bring am to destroy Nigeria…”

‘My brothers and sisters, those are very powerful lyrics; typical of this fearless musician. Try looking for the video and watch for yourself. He even asked questions about our refineries and how much the government has made from the removal of subsidy. He demanded for the release of Nnamdi Kanu and follows it with a shout out to the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor Adeboye. “During Goodluck Jonathan, your voice was so loud, you even vowed to stage one-million March, hunger and hardship under Tinubu government, you said Nigeria get spiritual problem. Baba, we need your one million disciples to protest against president Tinubu government as you protested against Jonathan government. Daddy, abi leg don dey pain your disciples…? Hahahaha. Eedris will not kill somebody with laughter. May God save Nigerians”

Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has claimed that he has assisted more people in the music industry than his colleagues Olamide, Don Jazzy, Wizkid and Davido.

Speaking in a video broadcast, the Zazu crooner stated that his assistance is not only limited to those in the music industry but also extends to the less privileged.

He explained that, unlike most of his colleagues who are egoistic, he associates freely with ordinary people and even identifies with them on social media.

Portable said, “Many Nigerian celebrities don’t post their fans even if they dance to their songs or promote them. But I repost every positive video about me.

“Even with your money, many celebrities won’t let you feature them as an upcoming artist. But I help people freely. I have helped more people in the music industry than Don Jazzy, Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido.

“Help is when you see a homeless person and take them home, shelter them, clothe and feed them. You also take them to their first studio session and pay for it. Anything other than that, you are just doing business. A lot of the people claiming that they are helping others in the music industry are just doing business.

“Most of the time, when the artists they are using for business decide to be independent or move forward, they label them ungrateful. How are they ungrateful? You only used them for business.”

Famous Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, has revealed that his greatest fear is poverty.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Nancy Isime Show, Mr P said he is not afraid of death, but of being poor.

Recounting a childhood experience when his family’s rented single-room apartment was demolished after the landlord sold the property, the singer said he does not wish to return to poverty.

He said: “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.

“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings and a bulldozer came and demolished it.

“We were living in a boys’ quarter, me, my mum, my dad, all of us. The whole family, six boys and two girls living in a one-bedroom apartment.

“They had to divide the room with a curtain. So, the landlord had sold the compound, we were trying to plead to get some time to plan our relocation and then a bulldozer came and started demolishing the house while we were still in the building.”
