    U can imagine! D US celebrating our own. Na so dey remember our football legend Rasheed Yekini in far away Portugal. What we fail to do, it shows d irresponsible attitude of our pple. If we cnt celebrate our own then wt re we saying...

    Is it necessary?, Fela fought for what he knew was right, and does not need recognition from the USA.

    D Abami eda himself, getting a well deserved recognition. Fela was simply the greatest musician of all time from Nigeria and indeed Africa. A genius bequeathed to Nigeria by the Almighty God himself. May his soul RIP in d bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

    Fela my man. Why won't them give him an award? He put his finger in their eye, imagine! He knows oyibo in and out. He actually discovered their ways. Remember, he changed his English name(s) to native(yoruba) . Soludo did too.
