Eedris Abdulkareem is popular for his monster hit song ‘Jagga Jagga’ which was the title track of his 2004 album. The song was tagged controversial making the musician offer some explanations.
‘Jagga Jagga’ is not an abusive word. It has just pinpointed what is happening in our democracy, in our environment, and in our society and put it back to our people. Many people are not educated in Nigeria. What is the percentage of education in Nigeria? I just pointed out the ills in the society; let’s see how we can improve it,” he said in a video at the time.
