NEW MUSIC - Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem Accuses Tinubu and Bill Gates of Endangering Nigerians With GMO Food Agenda

 

Veteran Nigerian rapper and social commentator, Eedris Abdulkareem, has sparked a heated conversation following the release of his latest track “Tinubu/Bill Gates GMO.” The outspoken artist, known for his politically charged lyrics and social activism, took aim at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and American billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates, accusing them of pushing a dangerous GMO agenda in Nigeria.

This fresh outburst is consistent with Abdulkareem’s long history of addressing political and societal issues through his music. His previous hit, “Jaga Jaga,” shook the country with its unfiltered critique of corruption and misgovernance. In his new track, he turns his lens to food security, raising serious concerns about the spread of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in Nigeria’s agricultural sector.

Abdulkareem describes GMO foods as a direct threat to both the environment and human health. He questioned the logic behind introducing seeds that allegedly render soil infertile after one harvest cycle. In his view, any seed that damages the earth it grows from is just as likely to cause long-term damage to the human body that consumes it. This, he claims, is not just poor agricultural policy but a potentially sinister plot against the Nigerian population.

The track echoes a warning to ordinary Nigerians, particularly farmers and rural communities, about the consequences of switching from traditional organic farming to genetically modified alternatives. Abdulkareem argues that the Nigerian soil has sustained generations through natural agricultural practices and should not be jeopardized by foreign interventions or commercial interests disguised as philanthropy.

His lyrics boldly challenge President Tinubu, demanding the rejection of GMO imports and urging a return to purely organic food sources. He insists that Bill Gates, who has long been involved in agricultural initiatives across Africa, should “carry GMO go,” signaling a total dismissal of foreign-backed food programs that include genetically engineered crops.

A special plea is directed to Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. Abdulkareem appeals to her to influence the President and remind him of the country’s need for safe, natural food. He also uses the platform to speak out against the ongoing insecurity that continues to plague farmers across the country. According to him, until insurgency and terrorism are tackled, any progress in agriculture, whether organic or otherwise, will remain stunted.

The lyrics are delivered in both English and Pidgin, giving the song grassroots appeal and ensuring the message reaches a wide and diverse audience. Abdulkareem speaks directly to “Papa and Mama” in his usual streetwise tone, warning them to be vigilant and aware of what he describes as an existential threat masked as development.

Reactions have started pouring in from fans and critics alike. Some hail Abdulkareem for continuing to use his music as a tool for advocacy, while others question the accuracy of his claims, particularly the link between GMO crops and infertility of land or harm to human organs. Nevertheless, the track has gone viral across social media platforms, igniting passionate debates around food policy, sovereignty, and the role of multinational influence in Nigeria.

His message comes at a time when discussions around food security, sustainability, and health are more critical than ever. Nigeria, like many African countries, faces pressure to increase agricultural productivity in response to climate change, population growth, and rising food prices. Proponents of GMO argue that genetically modified crops can help meet these challenges, offering higher yields and resistance to pests. However, critics like Abdulkareem remain unconvinced and warn that such solutions may come with hidden costs.

While no official response has come from the presidency or Bill Gates’ representatives, the conversation sparked by the rapper’s music will likely keep the spotlight on the GMO debate for weeks to come.

Eedris Abdulkareem’s voice remains one of the few in the Nigerian entertainment industry that consistently bridges art and activism. Whether or not one agrees with his assertions, his ability to mobilize public interest around important national issues is undeniable. His new track serves as a wake-up call, urging Nigerians to pay attention to what they eat, how it is grown, and who stands to benefit from changing the country's food system.
