The war between former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and dancehall music star, Ediris Abdulkareem over his 2004 hit track, Jaga Jaga is fast becoming a tale of child who says his mother will not sleep, he too will not sleep.
Mr. Lecturer, as fans and admirers would call him is ready to dance with OBJ, since he is not ready to let the sleeping dog lies.
In 2004, Abdulkareem third album, Jaga Jaga, which lamented the corruption and suffering in Nigeria was banned from playing on radio by Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, although, it continued playing in nightclubs and parties.
Since then, many thought the case had been interred and faded into a cultural pot of time, only to resurface recently at a forum in Lagos when the retired military general lambasted the singer again, an indication that his indignation towards the Kano-born crooner is still raging and roiling.
Angered by OBJs comment, the singer fought back through his twit account, by calling the Ota farmer his mugu. He tweeted:
obvious that Obasanjo can do without me.
I am his joy therapy. Mr ex-president, Nigeria still dey jagajaga, in fact worse pass jagajaga, @idrisAbdulkarm twitted.
President Obasanjo if you truly love Goodluck as u claimed, why dont you talk to your fellow Boko Haram member to let Goodluck rule in peace.
Eedris didnt stop there as he went on to call the PDP leader a mugu Mr expresident, I heard you were talking about me in ur last interview hahahahahhahah its obvious you cant do without me. You are my mugu. Obasanjo na my mugu oooo na jeje i dey, u dey look for trouble oooo. hahahahahhahahahahhahahah.
Mr ex president, u be my mugu! he added.
Not still satisfied, Idris has released a new single, entitled Baba in his defense and to buttress his point that Nigeria is truly Jaga Jaga.

HERE
The lyric goes thus: apa na you born me but I no send you again because you no be good Papa, he chants.
Which kind Papa dey oppress im pikin/Which kind Papa no like im pikin/Which kind Papa no want make im pikin grow. I tire, I never see this kind papa. For this moment I disown you/I no like you/ I dey look for another papa.
12 years ago Nigeria Jagajaga/Today Nigeria don pafuka/You be bad Papa/You no be fine Papa/You dey oppress pikin/Even for Abeokuta they no gbadun your style, he says.
I de my house dey watch television na im I see baba Ota dey yarn say my papa na yamayama/Say my mama na jagajaga. He say na Eedris be the problem of Nigeria. If you talk again, I go sing another. You say make them no give me show but I still dey survive. The road to your house for Ota na jagajaga/Make you sidon for your house make I live mylife, he says.
The song is currently trending online as people are beginning to air their national frustration through it.
It would be recalled that Idris was one of the Remedies group before going solo. His debut album, P.A.S.S. (Pains and Stress = Success) was released in 2002 on Kennis Music. Released the same year and also on same label was Mr. Lecturer, which addressed the problem of students using money and sex to solicit higher grades in Nigerian colleges and universities. Also in 2004, Abdulkareem came to international attention as a result of a scuffle with American rapper 50 Cent on board an aircraft at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.
