Singer, Eedris Abdulkareem, was a guest on Channels TV on
Sunday January 12th where he said he feels vindicated 18 years after he
released his hit song, ‘Nigeria Jaga Jaga’.
The song “Jaga Jaga”, which projected corruption and
suffering in Nigeria, was released in 2002 and caused a lot of controversies.
The song was banned from radio by the Federal Government but was still played
at nightclubs. ‘Jaga Jaga’ is a term which has been used to describe something
in a state of chaos or disarray.
During the interview,
Eedris said
“In 2002 I dropped Nigeria Jaga Jaga, and the ex-president
came on the National TV and said that boy wey sing that song, na him papa and
him family jaga jaga. I was very happy that my message got to the president. I
was very happy that the president talked back at me because that means they
were listening and today I’ve been vindicated again because Nigeria is still
jaga jaga.''
