The ibos think they can denigrate Yoruba as they did to Hausa/Fulani for 8 years, no right thinking Yoruba will fold his/her arm and do nothing. You come for us, we’re coming for your tribe too. Shikena.

A nice view of Owerri proves nothin. Development is measured by infrastructure, transport, healthcare, education, industry & economic activity, not aesthetics. Research has rated Owerri's transport infrastructure below avg. If it’s more developed than Ibadan & others, bring data

[Emmanuel C. Nzenwa @EmmanuelTravel1]

Owerri City is more developed than Ibadan, Ogun, Ondo, Ado-Ekiti, Osogbo.
A view of Owerri, you don't see on social media 👇

@ShegaineO @Nosakroz Tell your people to leave yorubaland and go back to your miserable region called sadeast. Let's see something, we will set the record straight and you all will learn the hard way.

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@ShegaineO @Nosakroz But you refuse to stay in your miserable region and come in a night bus to our region to start selling fake drugs and kidnapping. Omo yibo go back home to your 5 plots and stay there. Ndigbolugi

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@ShegaineO @Nosakroz Your sadeast region is desolate and barren. Go back home ewu

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@ShegaineO @Nosakroz Go tell your miserable father that.

@ThePlaybook01 @monte_clairee There’s no contradiction. I’m distinguishing Afrobeat from Afrobeats. Contemporary Afrobeats draws from many African artists and traditions, including Obey and Oliver de Coque. But that doesn’t erase Fela’s role in pioneering Afrobeat. Influence on Afrobeats ≠ origin of Afrobeat

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@ThePlaybook01 @monte_clairee Genres evolve; they don’t become invalid simply because newer artists sound different. Afrobeat has identifiable roots in Fela’s fusion of highlife, jazz, funk and African rhythms. Afrobeats is a later evolution with different conventions. The distinction already exists.

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@ThePlaybook01 @monte_clairee U're arguing against a point nobody made. Fela didn’t pioneer every African sound, nor did he invent all the influences he fused. He pioneered & defined Afrobeat specifically. Today’s Afrobeats evolving into a diff sound doesn’t erase & genre Fela created or his foundational role

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@Dammmeey @monte_clairee Exactly. Fela’s evolution is part of the story. He played highlife & drew from jazz, funk & other influences before developing Afrobeat. Other artists made great music, but that doesn’t diminish Fela’s role in pioneering, refining & taking Afrobeat to an international audience.

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@osu2005 @monte_clairee Absolutely. Ayo Sonaiya’s Afrobeats documentary is worth watching 4d broader context. But documentaries don’t replace historical evidence. The key is distinguishing Fela’s Afrobeat from the later Afrobeats sound while properly recognizing the artists & influences that came b4 him

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

@monte_clairee That’s exactly why the distinction matters. African sounds is a broad umbrella, Afrobeat is a specific genre Fela helped define by fusing highlife, jazz, funk & African rhythms. Today’s Afrobeats is a diff later sound. Calling everything Afro sounds doesn’t make them same genre.

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

Nobody said Fela created Afrobeat in isolation. But denying that he pioneered & defined the genre is simply revisionist. Afrobeat had influences but Fela was its central architect & most influential pioneer. You can acknowledge other contributors without rewriting Fela’s history

[Noni Edozie @Hibana122]

Fela is not the sole originator of Afrobeat if una like cry, he is not the originator of Afrobeat

@Voiceofigbos E pain your papa abi

[Observer @TrustCalamity]

That’s a false dichotomy. Fela was both a musician and an activist and his music was the vehicle through which he challenged power. You can debate his methods or legacy, but separating Fela the activist from Fela the musician ignores precisely what made his influence so enduring.

[Nedu_🔥 @Hhonor_]

Fela was an activist in an era when society truly appreciated activism. He should be a role model for activists, not musicians.
