Reactions as Asa performs 'fire on the mountain' in Buhari's presence

Asa, an award-winning musician from Nigeria, got people talking on Tuesday as she performed one of her hit songs titled “Fire on the mountain” in the presence of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Asa sang the song at the relaunch of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited on Tuesday, an event attended by the president.

Some lyrics from her performance reads;

“There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop
And no one is a-runnin’

“I wake up in the mornin’
Tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child
And everybody’s watchin.”

Reacting to Asa’s performance, Nigerians said the singer chose the platform to send a direct message to President Buhari.

“A strong and clear warning before the entire government of the federation. Bold and beautifully rendered,” a Nigerian with the name Edward Etta wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.

Kudos to her for this Fantastic performance!”
