Veteran Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem is stirring up national debate again—this time with his latest politically charged single titled “Tinubu/Bill Gates GMO.”
In the fiery track, the Jaga Jaga crooner aims at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and American tech billionaire Bill Gates, raising alarms over the promotion of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Nigeria.
“GMO Na Big Time Poison” – Eedris Warns
The controversial artist pulls no punches as he declares GMOs to be “poisonous” and destructive—not just to human health but also to Nigeria’s already vulnerable agricultural land.
“GMO na big time poison, any soil where the plant am no go reproduce again… If the seed go fit destroy the soil, that mean say he go destroy your organs,” he raps.
Eedris insists that organic farming is the future and warns that foreign influences—represented by Gates and others—are trying to replace natural Nigerian produce with harmful alternatives.
A Message to Tinubu and the First Lady
In a direct appeal to First Lady Remi Tinubu, Abdulkareem urges her to remind the president that Nigerians need access to healthy, natural food grown locally and organically.
“First lady Mrs. Remi Tinubu, I beg make you help us remind your husband… We no need GMO because na poison.”
He further links the issue of food security with the broader national crisis of insurgency and terrorism, stating that peace must be restored so that farmers can safely return to the land.
“Time don’ come to end all this insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria. So our farmers go go back to farm, to dey grow natural organic food for us.”
Not New to Controversy
Eedris Abdulkareem has a long history of using music as a tool for activism, notably with his 2004 anthem “Nigeria Jaga Jaga”—a blunt critique of government dysfunction. This latest track continues his tradition of music-meets-militancy, positioning him as one of the few artists still willing to call out the powerful.
The rapper’s bold accusations are already sparking conversations on social media, with many Nigerians echoing concerns about the health, environmental, and economic impacts of GMOs.
"Papa and mama shine ur eyes, Tinubu and Bill gates wn kpai us."
