Eedris Abdulkareem, a Nigerian music legend, shook the nation in 2004 with his thought-provoking track, Nigeria Jaga Jaga.
This powerful anthem boldly addressed Nigeria’s socio-political challenges, striking a chord with listeners and sparking debates across the country.
The song’s unfiltered portrayal of the nation’s struggles led to a clash with then-President Olusegun Obasanjo, who criticized the lyrics. It was subsequently banned from the airwaves, but this only amplified its impact, turning it into a timeless symbol of artistic resistance.
With elections around the corner, the issues highlighted in Nigeria Jaga Jaga remain more relevant than ever. Its message invites us to reflect on our past and present, while reigniting the hope for a brighter future. Take a moment to listen, connect with its message, and embrace the call for change.
