Every day on the Nigerian internet, there are people who keep our eyes glued to our phone screens as we read their rants, opinions, perspectives on political and social matters, etc. Sometimes, they are just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.

Here’s our list from today:

1 Dolapo

It was all about Wizkid on Nigerian Twitter today because last night he sold out the Royal Albert Hall in London and didn’t fail to deliver performance wise. Fans were so in thrall of Starboy’s performance, they got heady and proclaimed him a legend far beyond Fela’s star.

Cue Dolapo:

He has surpassed fela and tuface as the greatest on the continent . Hands down ! https://t.co/n6qAFUD5mK

2.

People have been known to tweet foolishness while under the influence, so it could be Dolapo was high on something when he tweeted this. Or it could be that Dolapo has no idea who Fela is. In which case, Ridwan suggests a study companion:

Are you that young not to know Fela?
Did you not read about him?
Was his story not narrated to you?

It's not too late. Google "Fela".

3. Abami Eda

This section of TwitterNG was just mad someone had the audacity to compare the two, birds NOT of the same feather and all. They started out pleading and ended with some severe scolding- which Twitter delightfully retweeted 1000 times.

Such disrespect to greats. Boy can be great on his own without the need to compare him to other greats to downplay their Own Greatness

There is nothing wrong with celebrating an artiste without trying to drag another one down or kill achievements with comparison. Peace.

Stop disrespecting Fela by comparing him to Wizkid, That's a legend who took Africa to the world when there was no social media nor internet

4. Doc Olu

The good Doctor wasted no time throwing shade, since that was Dolapo’s intent anyway. In order to level the playing field, Olu dragged Wande Coal into the debate. Interestingly, Wizkid gave the floor to Wande Coal during his show yesterday. As far as Olu is concerned, the two are mates.

If not that Wande Coal is unserious & chooses food & awoof over his music career. You should have been comparing Wizkid to Wande, not Fela.

5. Ekere

Now we get into the meat of the matter. Ekere lists the artists Wizkid has to surpass first before comparisons with Fela can begin.

Abeg calm down. Fela is the greatest of all time. Wizkid must first of all surpass KSA, Tuface, Osita Osadebe etc

Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Ebenezer Obey and co… People that thrived beyond borders with live music when there was no internet to push it

6. David

David lists other accomplishments of Fela that Wizkid falls short of:

@wizkidayo has proved himself Globally, but to compare him with a great legend #fela is preposterous! A human right agitator and a musician

— udi enoch (@maaxienoch) September 30, 2017

Besides mastering 6 instruments, Fela birthed a genre and sound that was all his. Not to mention his social activism and how that impacted..

— Davidi° (@davidiohmbra) September 30, 2017

..his generation and more to come. Wizkid is a talented artiste, no doubt, but not comparable to Fela’s stellar career spanning 30+ years.

— Davidi° (@davidiohmbra) September 30, 2017

What? This is fallacy. What instrument can Wizkid play sir? Can he score his music? He's not even as accomplished as 2 Baba or Asa

— benjamin okoh (@benjiclassicfm) September 30, 2017

Come back here after you have listened to Fela instrumentals…
His gone how many years now and each track still a beauty to ears and mind

— AKIN-COLE muyiwa (@akincoleDELTOCC) September 30, 2017

My dear people are remaking Fela's sounds how many years after his death. His music is part of some syllabus in music school.

7. Osi Suave summarises:

Fela was way more than a musician.

Fela was culture
Fela was activism.

— Cinderella Man (@Osi_Suave) September 30, 2017

And in case this slipped by yo the first time, read it slowly and take it all in.

8. Molara Wood drops bombshells

Wizkid and Fela. Blasphemy. Sacrilege. Oro buruku l'enu eiye.

— Molara Wood (@molarawood) September 30, 2017

Chijoke follows it up

Obsessed by Western rating. When scandal hits all that rating will be floored. Wizkid shall not equal Fela Kuti's legacy.

— Chijioke Izundu (@CjIzundu) September 30, 2017

9. Isima says to dismiss it:

Anybody who says Wizkid is greater than Fela is seeking for attention. Don't give it to them. Even Wizkid knows that Fela is his great grandfather when it comes to musical greatness.

— World Publicist (@IsimaOdeh) September 30, 2017

Joachim MacEbong says it shows how young Nigerians onTwitterNG are.

This debate (that is even if it is worth that name) over Fela's place in history is a reflection of the average age of Nigerian Twitter.

10. Ferdinand leaves us with the proper definition of a legend:

Fela didnt become greatest Saxophonist in Africa, stood for the people, had his mum thrown of the balcony for u to compare him to Wizkid.?

— Ferdinand (@Burmese_Tyga) September 30, 2017

Kapish?

[In case you missed it]: Twitter goes crazy over Wizkid
