The activities of many of our so-called celebrities, influencers, models, leaders or whatever label they wear leave much to be desired. What they probably have is just the large following of young, impressionable minds, the corresponding attitude and lifestyle that those should follow in their lives is non-existent.
How should their large followership live their own lives. A line in Fela’s 1976 follow-follow album provides an insight. ‘My brother, make you no follow book o, look am and go your way’.
That musical is stating that when a book is presented to you, do not follow what’s inside hook, line, and sinker; rather look at it, pick what’s useful and move on. The parallel for our yeyebrities is that for you, you should be sober and vigilant in your distant, or if available, your knitted relationship with them. Many times, these people don’t live according to the perceived standards that society placed on them. Be wary!
