Eedris Abdulkareem
Veteran Nigerian musician Eedris Abdulkareem has released a new song directed at Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, urging him to speak to his father about the worsening state of the country.
In the track titled “Tell Your Papa,” which was shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Abdulkareem delivers a blunt message, painting a grim picture of the hardships facing everyday Nigerians.
The song comes in response to Seyi Tinubu’s recent comments in Adamawa State, where he described his father as “the greatest president in Nigeria’s history.”
He said, “Seyi, tell your papa country hard. Tell your papa people dey die. Tell your papa this one don pass jagajaga.”
In a mix of music and message, the hip-hop icon accused the President of failing to deliver on his promises and called out the growing insecurity, inflation, and suffering across the nation.
“Seyi, how far? I swear your papa no try. Too much empty promises. On behalf of Nigerians, take our message to him; kidnappers dey kill Nigerians.
Seyi, try travel by road without your security make you feel the pains of fellow Nigerians. You dey fly private jets, insecurity no be your problem,” he sings. (The Guardian)
