There are so many things we have in mind of asked that we would love to bring back. To me, I have so many things to say, but I guess we are just limited to one.
Life of now is quite different from what we are today. The government has changed from what it used to be, and the nation has changed from what they used to do and give. Before now, every Nigerian has been enjoying so many benefits. The government in another way has been afraid of some sets of people just because of the way they speak the truth.
Truth in those days is quite different from what it is right now. People are not ready to speak the truth and are also not ready to repent from the bad deeds they are and have been doing.
The government is considered a business where everyone can enter just to have his or her cut/share. They called it national cake. Anyone who gets there must cut his or her share. Corruption had overtaken the government house and even has increased to every part of my country where no one dares have the fear for stealing what does not belong to him or her.
Musicians nowadays have changed, where no one can be able to say the truth. The lyrics they sang to are sometimes and most times related to love. Love is good, but then can we just sat right here and watch our precious country crumble just like that? Although it has crumbled, but then we still need someone to speak the truth.
The truth that one of the musicians has been saying is what we all required. During his days, he never relaxed but always spoke the truth and had always sung so many songs to reveal the secrets of the government. He was just like a threat to the government, but then they had no choice other than to at least stay clear of some evils they were doing.

Fela Anikulapokuti was someone who had stood by the truth and had always sung to expose some wrong deeds of the government of those days. Everything was good and even better than this present days we are.
Nigerians missed someone like him who can stand up to speak the mind of the people through his song.
Can any one of this present musicians speak the mind of the people? I remember some weeks ago, a reputable content creator was arrested on no just course. The reason for his arrest is still not revealed. He has been acting so well by standing in to reveal some of these politicians who had been playing some nonsense and useless tricks on us. He has tried his best to stand up for Nigerians through what he does. I heard that he can do all his best to save that common man who had been cheated by the government. I just hope he continues like this without taking the face of the government.
Fela was someone I like so much. Up to this moment, I still listened to his songs. Listening to his songs can bring back old times memories.
