A lighthearted moment occurred on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, during the inauguration of the Mega Bus Terminal on Iwo Road, Ibadan.
At the ceremony, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, playfully cautioned Fuji artist Taye Currency against performing his controversial track, “Werey la n fi wo werey.”
The event, attended by a mix of political figures, dignitaries, and local residents, took a humorous turn as the governor’s comment sparked laughter among the guests.
While addressing the audience, Governor Makinde turned to Taye Currency who had just performed and quipped:
“Taye Currency, don’t sing that ‘Werey la n fi wo werey’ song here o.”
The remark was met with cheers and amusement, as many attendees were familiar with the song’s previous controversy.
Taye Currency, whose full name is Taye Akande Adebisi, responded with good humor, performing a short snippet of one of his hits before letting the governor continue, creating a fun, impromptu moment at the otherwise formal event.
The song, “Werey la n fi wo werey,” gained widespread attention earlier this year after Taye Currency performed it at the coronation of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Adewolu Ladoja, in September.
The phrase, which roughly means “madness is used to deal with madness,” stirred debate, with some interpreting it as a political jab. Others defended it as an expression of Fuji street culture, emphasizing that it was not aimed at any individual.
