No Musician Is Greater Than Fela Kuti

Image
         NO MUSICIAN IS GREATER THAN FELA KUTI The latest iteration of this conversation is driven by a long rant from  Seun Kuti  against a section of  Wizkid ’s fans   ( Wizkid FC)   who opined that the Afrobeats star has matched and surpassed the greatness of   Fela Kuti , an opinion his son considers a cardinal sin. After several days of counterattacks against the tireless FC, the defence of Seun Kuti invariably stepped on Wizkid’s toes. The Afrobeats star replied with a shocking statement where he backed the thoughts of his fans by  declaring himself greater than Fela . The statement from Wizkid, though intended as a defence against the attack from Seun Kuti, has brought disrespect to the name of Fela Kuti, and this is simply unacceptable.  As someone who has immersed myself to a decent extent in the work and impact of Fela Kuti, I will say it as it is. Wizkid goofed with that statement. Deleting the post within minut...

The siblings—Mr Steve Onyeka Omatu (40), Mr Casmir Nnabuike Omatu (39), and Mr Collins Kenechukwu Omatu (37)—all from the Omatu family of Uzoakwa Community, were buried in the presence of family members, relatives, and other mourners.

Some dignitaries in attendance at the burial ceremony in Ihiala included a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress and fo...

  FCON 2025: Play Like Champions — Odegbami Charges Super Eagles Ahead of Crucial Algeria Clash Former Super Eagles captain and 1980 Africa Cup of Nations winner, Segun Odegbami, has urged the Nigerian national team, Super Eagles, to translate their individual talent into collective dominance by embracing confidence and belief. In a video address posted on the Super Eagles’ official X handle on Friday,  Odegbami  stressed that self-belief is the crucial difference-maker in competitive international football. From match to match, it could just be one moment of magic, it could just be one moment you are lucky, it could just be somebody’s mistake, and occasionally it is because you play well, you are coherent and so on and so forth. Reflecting on Nigeria’s rich footballing history, Odegbami argued that the Super Eagles possess a depth of talent that should intimidate any opponent in Africa. He also highlighted the recent successes of individual stars while paying homage to l...

Trump Warns of Possible Further U.S. Strikes in Nigeria Over Reported Killings

  Trump Warns of Possible Further U.S. Strikes in Nigeria Over Reported Killings In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times published on Thursday, United States President Donald Trump signalled that the US could undertake multiple military strikes in Nigeria if violence against Christians persists. Trump, asked whether the December 25 military operation against Islamic State militants in northwest Nigeria marked the start of a broader campaign, said, “I’d love to make it a one-time strike… but if they continue to kill Christians, it will be a many-time strike.” The US strike, which Washington described as targeting Islamic State affiliates at the request of the Nigerian government, drew global attention when it was carried out on Christmas Day. Trump framed it as a response to what he characterised as repeated killings of Christians by extremist groups in Nigeria, language that has fuelled debate over the motivations behind the intervention. The Federal Government has reje...

Michel Kuka at AFCON 2025 At the  2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco , Michel Kuka became one of the  most talked-about figures of the tournament  — even though he wasn’t a player.  He stood  completely still throughout entire matches , imitating Lumumba’s statue with his arm raised toward the sky. His quiet presence  caught the attention of cameras and social media , often appearing on screens more than some players 🇨🇩 Many Congolese fans and observers saw his act as  a powerful display of national pride, remembrance, and hope for peace  in his country. During the  round of 16 match  between DR Congo and Algeria, the Leopards were  eliminated 1–0  after extra time, but Kuka’s image remained one of the most memorable scenes of the tournament.    Michel Kuka isn’t just a “fan” — he’s a  symbolic figure : His stillness is a  tribute to Patrice Lumumba , a key independence leader killed in...
