Nigerian pop artiste, Eedris Abdulkareem was on Saturday a guest at SaharaTV’s Inspiration segment with Omoyele Sowore. He said he loves to be identified only with Governors that are acknowledged by all to be ‘doing well’. Eedris confirmed on the show that he takes money from Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole. You’d recall that Eedris had criticized the likes of D’banj for taking money from President Goodluck Jonathan, the admission seemed to have cast him as operating different standards. He however said that he never collected a dime from former president, Olusegun Obasanjo whom he referred to as ‘Baba’ throughout the interview. “I have never collected any money from Baba before. Eedris Abdulkareem is a social crusader and my responsibility is to use music to add values to the lives of common people who can’t speak for themselves”, he declared. Eedris argued that he collected money from Adams Oshiomole of Edo State because Oshiomole was a Comrade and a good Governor. He also said that he would love to identify with Fashola, Tinubu, Rochas and Oshiomole because they fixed roads and improved education in their States, and he would therefore be free to collect money from them. After all, “it is our money,” he said. The segment anchor, Omoyele Sowore asked Eedris whether taking money from Governor Adams Oshiomole has no effect on his moral stand as he had accused D’Banj of the same practice. An angered Eedris said his own was justifiable because his own benefactor was doing well. “When Oshiomole won, he said, ‘Eedris come, we have won.’ We fought it together,” the activist said. “It is very justifiable because Oshiomole is a good Governor, so what are you going to say about it? He is doing very well and that is my service that I’m rendering. And also, to put it straight to you, Goodluck Jonathan and his so-called president have not done what these Governors have been able to do in less than two years. So, what are you saying about that? If you don’t like it, eat it.” When asked what he feels about the recent song by Rick Ross which portrays musical artistes as individuals solely interested in money, Eedris said, “I don’t watch people like that because they don’t add value to my life, my country and my people,” he said. “People like Rick Ross who act songs that talk about champagne, illuminati, money and all that are not adding values to our lives. So, I don’t recognize people like that and I don’t listen to their kind of songs. I am a social crusader and I love songs that will add values to the lives of my people. You should not come to Africa and say because you see people are poor you are throwing money at people. That is stupid; it is disrespect to my people,” he said. Before leaving the show, Eedris said his final words, “I love Fashola, New Nigeria; I love Oshiomole, New Nigeria; I love Rochas, New Nigeria; Sahara, Odabo o!”@saharareporters Click the link below to go to...EXCLUSIVE: How Monalisa Chinda's Cousin, Mr Kool Allegedly Ruined Her Marriage**Ordered Ex-Hubby To Return Car To Monalisa After Break-Up ‘My Hubby Wasn't Sacked From Air Nigeria, We Are Living Fine--Omotola Reply Critics Peter Of P-Square, Lola Omotayo, Celebrate Birthday With Son, Cameron Nollywood Most Passed Around Yoruba Actresses Stella Damasus Teaches Ladies On Men, Money, Sex, Fear Of God Genevieve Nnaji Rocks New Low-Cut Look Domestic Violence: Frank Edoho & Zaki Adzay Abused Ex-wives Speak Out (Video)Ruggedman Speaks on controversial Rick Ross”Hold Me Back” Video May D Floats Record Label, Thanks Fans For Support During Odd Period Marriage To Soul: It Didn't Bother Me-Queen Ure A Message To All 'Upcoming' Artists

Taiwo Idowu NY | 9/27/2012 7:23:53 AMI don't believe what i am reading about the Yang yang coming out fromyour mouth.After all the praises you recieve from majority of the people especially myself about you not sleeping with the enemy.You were about to go head to head with OBJ which i advised you not to due to his OBJ power and influence in Nigeria.Now you have been drawn into their corrupt ways and you sound like you want the loots more than the b*****ds.You mentioned the biggest and most corrupt human beings on earth.Tinubu,Fashola and this mighty joe young looking Governor Oshmihole.Wow,i though your message was to let the rulers do better for their masses and the only way to do that is to stop corruption that (cancer)that is eating them.In your interview you said you were given #10.000,000 to be a spokesman and you turn them down cold due to their corruption.I even compare you to Fela who stood his ground and refuse to be bribed.He never took a dime from the corrupt governmentuntil his death.He let his music speak for him.You on the other hand turn aroud and take the blood money that you know it belongs to the masses.Think about it,you are now one of the corrupt people in Naija.You are not a legitimate musician,you are a rouge just like the rest of them.You are classless and a betrayer.You can't have it both ways.You are either with the masses or with the looters.I know exactly where you belong.You talk about Jagajaga,you have nmade it worse.What will you tell your children(if you have any)?You are one of the corrupt fake musician that is with the corrupt goverment .I won't be suprise if you have gone to OBJ and crawl like a begger to get some of his stolen loots too.You are not consistence in your way.You are dishonest and people should watch not for you especially business pathners.You are nothing but a jerrycurl wannabe musician.One more thing you have the gut to criticiicize RR for sayiing something about nigeria.That was your signature and all of a sudden after taking bribe,you distance yourself from it.You are nothing but a cameleon and should not be trusted.Count me out as one of your suppotters.We will see how long this marriage last with your corrupt goverment officials.You are not with the masses,you only want to get yours.The masses be damn.
