The Nigerian social media zone has been blazing as Nigerian singers Peter Okoye and Seun Kuti have a go at each other.
The gbas gbos began when Seun Kuti called presidential candidate Peter Obi an opportunist. He said the Labour Party candidate will not be able to totally transform Nigeria.
Peter reacted by saying that Seun rides on the glory of the ‘Kuti’ family name brought about by his father late Fela Kuti.

The name FELA can open doors that your billions can never open
“My late father was a nobody but today everyone knows the Okoyes.” explained Peter Okoye. He was confident in his toil to spread the fame of his family name.
Peter concluded the post by saying “remain in that your local shrine while people like us and others continue excelling globally.” And as expected, the show continued in subsequent posts by the duo.
Netizens joined in the fight, blasting the artistes and slamming each other. See some of their reactions:
@ifelove42552937: “One thing I love about life is: no matter how rich you think you are, if you are not feeding someone or sponsoring them, you can’t call them POOR. Don’t think you are superior to others because you have more money. The name FELA can open doors that your billions can never open”
@UsmanMustapha_M: “Local shrine you say? The street will never forget this, man.”
@IamOlaAhmed: “That “Local Shire” you call it is a global symbol of Africa’s musical prime estate. The Shrine has welcome world leaders and international stars, of recent, Emmanuel Macron, President of France. Pls correct me if I’m wrong, has the president of Togo visited your house before?”
@_KingEmeka: “This is deep!!!! Boys who still ride their fathers’ cars have no right to sit in the midst of men who bought their own bicycles with their sweat.Thank you Peter Okoye! It was hard work all the way. Feel like crying.”
@IamOlaAhmed: “The Kuti name is a household name in Africa. From the struggle of independence, to the struggle for the right of women and the struggle for democracy. That name you just called is one of the reason your speech is free.”
@Kaybaba78: “This fight is not btw Fella and Peter, it’s btw Seun and Peter, nothing can erase the achievements of Fella but Seun who has nothing to show for himself feels he can speak with father’s influence but Peter makes him understand his position”

Do Yahoo Instead of Gambling – Seun Kuti Advises
Meanwhile, singer Seun Kuti stated that he would prefer young people engage in cybercrime aka Yahoo yahoo rather than gambling because gambling, in his opinion, was invented by Europeans to impoverish Africans.
According to him, the west has instilled in Africans a mindset of obsession with materialism, which has become a vice, but he believes that gambling is a far worse societal vice.
