WATER NO GET ENEMY: EXPLANATION
The "water" is the Nigerian common people. The Government/Military must not make enemies of the populous, nor disturb their "flow" (endevours & routines)- as it is dangerous to make an enemy of the country's most essential resource. The people make everything happen.
Nothing exists without water Water does not gain enemies because if you fight (renounce)water, you will die
Power cannot exist without the people…

| Zombie was first played by Fela Kuti and Africa 70 at FESTAC (Festival for Black Arts and Culture) in Lagos, Nigeria in 1977. The song's immediate popularity (it satirised the military government of the time) incurred the wrath of the government, and soldiers destroyed Kuti's home. He fled to Ghana and continued to perform Zombie there, at one point provoking a riot which resulted in the entire band being thrown out of the country. the song is said to have become popular throughout Africa, as a way of cocking a snook at the military governments which plagued many countries there. | | | |
