Now for those that don't understand pidgin English let me try to translate I go yarn... I will talk Nobody wants to die, but everyone wants to go to heaven. As you see me here, I will talk. I will speak my mind. They think we are blind. Let us talk. Why are my people so poor? We cannot take this any more. When I got to the USA, I saw that the kind of life that we are living back home does not make any sense. When I got to the states I saw that the way to solve our problems is very easy, it is just common sense. Our officials come here and they see how everything works but they ignore yet they go home and create policies that will make them rich and leave the common man poorer. We have been hustling, crying and dying for a long time. It has been a long time when they have been enjoying our money while the average child on the road side is hungry. We have a lot of land, farms, we have energy - oil, sun. We have a lot of water, there is river Niger and river Benue but for the average man on the street - he does not have access to things he should have. Water - He does not have Light - He does not have Ordinary food to eat - He does not have A place to rest his head - He does not have I have not gotten tired of talking and I will keep on doing so till things change. Fela spoke till he died and yet people did not see but yet we keep on listening to greedy politicians on our TV screens. It is so ironical that we put satelite on space but we don't have light. Hunger is eating my people and no one wants to fight. We are the first to join in peace keeping activities around Africa but yet the common man cannot afford kerosene for his stove. We are not done yet. Civilians have come and they have been eating our money one by one. Remember in 84 when we were begging Andrew to stay, dollar was 5 naira then, today it is 140 naira. We just suffer and smile and yet our debts keep on piling higher. All we do is pray and hope for a new day but nothing will change till we change our ways. It is so sad.......... I am going to keep on talking till we change the plan. I will keep on talking.... hey, at least I tried...:D So this is for the non pidgin English speakers. You can listen to some more of his music at the Audio section….

Now for those that don’t understand pidgin English let me try to translate I go yarn…

I will talk

Nobody wants to die, but everyone wants to go to heaven.
As you see me here, I will talk. I will speak my mind.

Water – He does not have
