Eedris opened the song with a powerful statement, claiming
that “Emi Lokan,” which translates to “It is my turn,” has now become “Ebi
Lokan,” or “It is hunger’s turn,” as Nigerians from various ethnic groups voice
their struggles with hunger.
He said, “Emi lokan don turn ebi lokan Yorubas are screaming
“’ebi panwao ooo”
In a verse, Abdulkareem accused Pastor Adeboye of hypocrisy,
saying he protested against bad governance during former President Goodlcuk
Jonathan’s regime but now claiming “Nigeria has spiritual problems” under
Tinubu.
He urged the clergyman to stage a one-million-man protest
against President Tinubu’s government as he did during Jonathan’s regime.
The veteran musician said it was high time Pastor Adeboye
spoke truth to power.
Eedris criticized the current government for blaming past
administrations, noting that each regime has continued to worsen the situation.
He emphasizes that Tinubu, as the former APC party leader, should have
addressed Buhari’s shortcomings instead of bringing him to power.
He condemned Emefiele’s financial decisions under Buhari’s
government, particularly the printing of 23 trillion naira, and questioned the
promises made regarding the refineries, suggesting that Nigerians are now
dependent on Dangote’s refinery.
Eedris highlighted the removal of fuel subsidies and the
resultant spike in fuel prices, pointing out the disparity between the
political elite’s wealth and the common man’s struggles.
See the lyrics below:
Where our daddy, Pastor Adeboye? During Goodlcuk Jonathan‘s
regime, your voice was so loud.
You even vowed to stage a one-million-man march. Hunger and
hardship under Tinubu government
you say Nigeria get spiritual problems,” he raps.
“Baba, we need your one million disciples to protest against
President Tinubu government
just the way you protested against President Jonathan.
Daddy, abi legs don dey pain your disciples?
“In fact, this na very big hypocrisy.
It’s time for you to speak the truth to power because hunger
wan kill Nigerians.
