    • Fela Kuti – Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense
    • 1. Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense
    • 2. Look And Laugh
    • 3. Just Like That (CD Bonus Track)

    In 'Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense', Fela explains the role of the teacher in any society with the concept that all the things we consider to be problems and all that we consider to be good in life begin with what we are taught, whether it's by our mothers at home, our teachers at school, lecturers at University or the government beyond that. Who then is the government's teacher? 'Culture and Tradition' says Fela..
