Seun Kuti & some Nigerians are currently setting a danger0us part by saying, nobody can be greater than Fela and Michael Jackson, this is really bad and should stop immediately.
A lively cultural debate is heating up online, sparked by comments from Seun Kuti that many Nigerians have echoed. The sentiment suggests that no one can ever surpass the musical greatness of legends like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and Michael Jackson.
Seun Kuti & some Nigerians
This perspective implies that the pinnacle of greatness in music—and perhaps in culture—has already been reached. It’s as if the story has been told, and the book is closed.
However, critics of this viewpoint raise a thought-provoking question: if greatness has already been achieved, why do people continue to strive for more?

What’s the point of pursuing education, innovation, creativity, or excellence if we believe that the standard of greatness has already been set in stone?
Those who challenge this notion argue that it confuses respect with stagnation. They believe that honoring the pioneers of the past shouldn’t mean halting progress. Seun Kuti & some Nigerians
Looking at history, critics point out that while Isaac Newton laid the groundwork for physics, Albert Einstein came along and built upon—and even surpassed—those ideas. Science didn’t come to a standstill because of Newton; it evolved.
The same principle applies across various fields:
Marie Curie didn’t become irrelevant just because science existed before her.
The developers of mRNA vaccines didn’t erase the contributions of penicillin.
Progress thrives on moving beyond what came before, not merely idolizing it.
Greatness is something that accumulates over time, not something we inherit.
Cultural commentators often point out that greatness is built on solid foundations — it doesn’t just stay there forever. Icons like Fela and Michael Jackson are celebrated as trailblazers who transformed global music, but that doesn’t mean future artists can’t surpass their influence.
In this light, foundations are more like stepping stones than limits.
If the past were flawless, we wouldn’t have a present. And if greatness had a shelf life, humanity would have stopped progressing ages ago.
Critics caution that elevating legends to untouchable status can keep societies stuck in nostalgia instead of pushing for growth. They emphasize that it’s not about disrespecting Fela or Michael Jackson — the real issue is what happens when our admiration turns into a mental shackle. Seun Kuti & some Nigerians
If we genuinely believe that no one can ever be greater, then maybe we’ve already given up on striving for excellence.
This debate isn’t about disrespect; it’s about how we view things. Seun Kuti & some Nigerians
Do legends motivate us to reach for more — or do we lean on them as reasons to stop pushing ourselves?
Do you think greatness can be outdone, or should some legends always stand alone?
