Eedris Abdulkareem, a controversial figure with a passion for Nigerian music, asserted his leadership in catalyzing the rise of stars like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, and more.
It all began in 2004, during a time when Nigerian artists faced neglect and exploitation by show promoters. Eedris, known for his outspoken nature, refused to accept this injustice silently. He clashed with none other than the renowned American rapper, 50 Cent, and his G-Unit crew, when they visited Nigeria. This confrontation was not merely a squabble; it was the spark that ignited a revolution.
In a recent interview on The Honest Bunch Podcast, Eedris reminisced about those tumultuous times. He acknowledged that his rebellion came at a personal cost, admitting it affected his own career. Yet, he proudly proclaimed it as a “beautiful sacrifice” that paved the way for the emergence of Nigeria’s music titans.
“You heard someone like Burna Boy saying nobody helped him in Nigeria,” Eedris remarked with conviction. “But would he have been a star without those who ignited the revolution? That’s a foolish notion. Our industry wouldn’t be what it is today if we hadn’t fought for it.”
Eedris’s words echoed the sentiments of an unsung hero, who had tirelessly fought for recognition and respect for Nigerian music. Despite facing criticism and indifference from some quarters, he remained steadfast in his belief that he had played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of the industry.
As Burna Boy’s anthems echoed across global stages, as Wizkid’s melodies captivated international audiences, and as Davido’s charisma charmed fans worldwide, Eedris Abdulkareem watched with paternal pride. For him, their success was not just a triumph of talent but also a testament to the resilience of a community united under the banner of Nigerian music.
Eedris’s assertion of leadership in catalyzing the rise of these iconic figures wasn’t merely about claiming credit; it was about recognizing the struggles of an entire generation of artists who dared to dream beyond the confines of their circumstances. In a world where legends are often born out of adversity, Eedris Abdulkareem emerged as a maestro behind the stars, conducting a symphony of revolution that reverberated through the annals of Nigerian music history.

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.”
