Eedris Abdulkareem says his new album is in support of GEJ & his administration

Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem was a guest on Channels TV's Sunrise programme yesterday Aug. 16th where he revealed that his forthcoming album titled G2G or G to G is mostly about asking Nigerians to stop the attack on Pres. Jonathan and leave him to rule. He believes GEJ has done well for Nigeria
"Since I was born a Nigerian growing up, I have always known that propaganda is the issue and they just share the money up and down. This Lagos-Ibadan expressway has been there for fifteen years by the former Minister of Works, Baba Tony Anenih and they didn't do anything .Goodluck is doing that road. That is the Federal government road, He is working on it. Our airport has been reformed. Thirdly our agricultural sector, farmers don't get their fertilizer directly but today they get their fertilizer, fertilizer is now a big business. So it is important we say all these things because most people don't know. We all know that the insecurity is propaganda. " he said. Continue...
Asked if his new crusade for GEJ is because he hopes to get something out of it, Eedris replied;
"I was was the first person that came out in the rally when Pres. Goodluck Jonathan increased the fuel price at Ojota. I have never seen Goodluck before but what I know is going on with that guy is a big propaganda and they should leave him alone let him work. When I sang jagajaga, did anybody pay me? If opposition paid me, by now I go don get plenty billions. So its simple, the facts must be told. When I sang Nigeria jagajaga, it was 12 years ago and this is 12 years later, so why is everybody blaming the poor guy? because he is from Niger Delta or because the presidency has left the north?" he said.
Eedris also criticized Nigerian artistes who pay international acts to feature in their songs. He said it's unacceptable and only happens because the Nigerian music industry is not regulated.
"The music industry is not regulated, it is an individual effort. People like Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Mr John Momoh and Kenny Ogungbe have sacrificed their personal money to take the music industry to this level. The music industry is not regulated. It is an individual effort. So it is important that the music industry be regulated so that our artiste would be paid their royalties, mechanical rights and all that. Don't forget, everybody that plays their songs don't pay them royalty. Some of them even go to the stations to pay people to play their music. International acts want to come because they know that their is money in Nigeria and we are not doing one thing right, we are not treating our artistes with respect and love. Why would you bring someone from America and you would pay the person $1.5m and you pay your own artiste here N10million and your artiste would be on stage for the next one hour and the person you brought from America would perform only 10minutes and he would leave. Why?
Because their industry is regulated out there and they get their mechanical rights. For example, do you know some of our artistes travel out there and they get to pay these international artistes money to feature in their album? Its not done. Americans don't do that. They come together and do a duet and they leave the rest for the management to bring in the money on the table but our own people would take their own money to go do that. Its crazy! So it is an individual effort. Artiste in Nigeria are not united" he said

There's so much hunger in the land and can't remember the last time I saw an album fro him.
His name in the music industry was last heard during the time of NITEL, so its understandable, I wish him the best.

Dear EEdris,we all know the reason why you're blowing GEJs trumpet is because you think it'll help salvage your dwindled musical career.It occurs to me that you just realized that inorder to soar like the eagles,you've chosen to quit playing with the ducks.And for your mind,you think singing GEJs praises will help you do that.Bro,you're wrong!
Coming to your defense about GEJ.Methink you're just blowing his achievements outta proportion.Ever sit down to ponder why this admin is looters friendly?Before our very eyes,we've seen how notorious thieves were granted pardon,and kleptocrats declared saints.We've seen howhigher institutions and Drs go on strike till thy kingdom come and the govt doesn't even bat an eyelid.We've seen how our commander in chief dances in rallies while many Nigerians are grieving.The list goes on....All am saying is,GEJ may face alotta hardship from opposition and detractors but that doesn't make him an object of sympathy or epitome of praises.Afterall there is no govt that doesn't have mischief makers bedeviling it.All I expect this admin to do is to accept blame for its failure and strive towards perfection.I'll be so happy the day I'll hear GEJ make a public broadcast without using words like "condemn".What of sentences like "I accept my failure""will work on that"? LOL #OpinionsaidLoud

I know Idris Abdulkreem way back in Kano. He's from Edo state just claiming Kano. He's Mum is Yoruba. So am not surprise he's supporting his brother from Niger-Delta

Eedris is right. Hate him all u want, President Jonathan is performing. Many of those talking are people living outside the country who listen to people who don't use the services he is restoring like railways and federal roads. Some even live in Lagos who think providing drinking water is the FG's job and Fashola's! It's funny.

We know the difference btw past administrations and this one. Ordinary Nigerians will vote for him. E-warriors, you are on ur own.

Chei! Eedris is truly finished! When a lyrical rebel suddenly goes soft on a politician, any politician, his creative days are definitely over. "Nigeria jaga jaga, everything scatter scatter, people dey suffer suffer, gunshot (or is it bomb blast?) ina the air..." couldn't be more relevant to Nigeria than right now.
A simple would have been most timely. Alas!

There is so much hunger in the land. Once devil is ready to campaign for GEJ he is welcome to Aso rock. Its a shame that mere roads can be taken as achievement of the president in Nigeria. ordinary road that local govt fix abroad but in Nigerian the presidents takes the credit for road construction. SHAME ON IDRIS AND HIS PAY MASTER

U must be a deluded tribalistic propagandist and liar! That was how your generation of bigots cried foul and got Oduah removed from being Aviation Minister for selfish reasons.

Anonymous said...

Ola Brampton, your greedy and selfish tribe hv always bn d source of rancour and bitterness in dis country. Is it now we started suffering or are you just feeling the pain? Your avenues of looting the country dry is being blocked and you tribal bigots are losing political relevance. The rest of the masses cannot be easily beguiled with your propaganda and falsehood in the media.

Anon 3:22PM, is gej more corrupt dan ur numerous kith and kin who hv looted Nigerian treasury for d past 40yrs? GEJ hs bn doing great job in correcting d many evils perpetrated by ur tribesmen and their co-travellers.
