Eedris Abdulkareem’s Criticism Draws Fire From Burna Boy....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In the heart of Lagos, where the rhythms of Nigeria’s music industry echo through the streets, a clash of words and egos unfolded between two giants of the industry: Burna Boy and Eedris Abdulkareem….READ ALSO
It began with a spark, ignited by a snippet of The Honest Bunch Podcast, where Eedris Abdulkareem, the veteran artist known for his outspoken nature, aimed his verbal arrows at Burna Boy. In the viral clip, Abdulkareem criticized Burna Boy’s assertion that no Nigerian artist had helped him along his journey to success, labeling it as “stupid talk.”
As the video spread like wildfire across social media platforms, Burna Boy, the African Giant himself, could not remain silent. With a fiery determination burning within him, he took to his verified social media handles to launch a counterattack.
In a now-deleted post dripping with sarcasm and indignation, Burna Boy redirected the blame towards the donors who supported Eedris Abdulkareem during his time of need, particularly referencing the financial assistance provided for Abdulkareem’s medical expenses during a kidney transplant in 2022.
The online realm became a battleground, with fans and followers taking sides, fueling the flames of controversy with every comment and share. But amidst the chaos, a deeper narrative emerged.
It was a clash not just of personalities, but of ideologies and generations. Burna Boy, the symbol of the new wave of Nigerian music, represented the self-made artist who carved his path to stardom through sheer talent and determination. On the other hand, Eedris Abdulkareem embodied the voice of experience, a veteran who had weathered the storms of the industry and felt compelled to speak out against what he perceived as ingratitude.
As the dust settled, and the echoes of their verbal sparring faded into the background, a moment of reflection dawned. Perhaps, amidst the discord, there lay an opportunity for dialogue and understanding. For in the rich tapestry of Nigeria’s music scene, there is room for both the bold innovators and the seasoned guardians of tradition.
For Burna Boy and Eedris Abdulkareem, their clash served as a reminder that amidst the cacophony of voices, it is harmony that truly resonates, bridging the divides and uniting generations in the universal language of music.

Speaking during a recent interview on Jay On Air TV, the broadcaster recounted her father’s fearless pro-democracy activism, detailing how his defiance against military dictatorship led to state intimidation, imprisonment, and eventual exile.
Imprisoned Alongside Beko Ransome-Kuti
According to Morayo, her father’s relentless public criticism of the Babangida regime made him a prime target for state security forces, leading to frequent harassment and detentions.
Key details shared during the interview include:
-
Relentless Persecution: Her father faced constant surveillance and intimidation due to his vocal stance against harmful government policies.
-
Shared Prison Cells: He was detained multiple times, sharing cell blocks with prominent human rights crusaders, including the late Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti.
-
Forced Into Exile: As threats from the military government intensified, remaining in Nigeria became untenable, forcing him to flee the country to escape state-sponsored retaliation.
A Legacy of Courage and Conviction
Reflecting on how her father’s political battles shaped her personal outlook, Morayo highlighted his refusal to be silenced in the face of tyranny as her main inspiration.
“My father was an activist; I grew up knowing he was one of Babangida’s top enemies. Babangida deeply despised him and hated him with passion.
My father shared prison cells with Beko Ransome-Kuti and others. He had to go into exile because Babangida was chasing him.”
She added that witnessing his bravery firsthand instilled in her a lifelong commitment to speaking truth to power and standing firmly for her beliefs.
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), the apex socio-cultural group of Northern Nigeria, has outrightly dismissed the reported one-term presidential agreement between Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The ACF labeled the secret arrangement illegal, unconstitutional, and a product of pure political desperation.
“Nobody Sent Them to Negotiate for North or South”
Speaking in an interview with Leadership, the ACF National Publicity Secretary, Tukur Muhammad Baba, emphasized that neither Obi nor Kwankwaso possesses the authority to negotiate power rotation between the regions:
-
No Mandate: Nobody commissioned either candidate to broker a presidential deal between the North and the South.
-
Self-Interest: The pact is driven strictly by personal political ambitions rather than public service.
-
Unconstitutional Concept: Leadership rotation is strictly an internal political party affair, not a constitutional requirement, and cannot be forced onto the nation.
Why ACF Wants Voters to Reject the NDC Ticket
Baba argued that rather than convincing Northern voters to support their campaign, the one-term agreement is a strong reason for Nigerians to reject both candidates at the 2027 polls.
“Suppose Peter Obi wins by chance and performs exceptionally well; would it make sense to force him out after just four years for an unproven candidate? It simply makes no sense,” Baba stated.
“Nigerian politicians should not act as if attaining power is all that matters. The fact that they signed such an agreement shows they do not wish this country well.”
