Nigerian rapper and activist, Eedris Abdulkareem, has weighed in on the widespread criticism trailing the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The legendary rapper advised that people should live with empathy if they wish to be remembered kindly after death.
In a post shared via his Instagram page, the veteran musician said:
“If you want sympathy in death, then you must show empathy when alive.”
Eedris’s comment comes amid heated reactions from Nigerians following the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari in a UK hospital. Many citizens, still aggrieved over what they describe as Buhari’s harsh policies and perceived insensitivity during his tenure, have taken to social media to express their disapproval—even in death.
The rapper, known for his socially conscious music and vocal stance on political issues, subtly addressed the growing trend of posthumous criticism and public lack of compassion.
While he did not mention Buhari directly, the timing and context of his statement left little to interpretation.
Eedris Abdulkareem rose to prominence in the early 2000s as a member of the defunct hip-hop group The Remedies before launching a successful solo career. He is renowned for using his music to tackle issues like corruption, inequality, and government failure.
His 2004 track “Jaga Jaga” remains one of Nigeria’s most iconic protest songs, boldly criticizing societal decay under leadership. Despite political pushback over the years, Eedris has remained unapologetic in using his platform to speak truth to power.
President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s former military ruler (1983–1985) and elected civilian president (2015–2023), passed away recently in a London hospital after a prolonged illness.
While his administration touted achievements in infrastructure and anti-corruption efforts, critics argue his government worsened insecurity, increased poverty, and suppressed dissent.
His death has reignited debates about his legacy, with many Nigerians expressing unresolved frustrations rather than sympathy.
