  Fela Kuti’s 1976 album,  Ikoyi Blindness , featured a track documenting an encounter within Nigerian social context where violence is trite.  The song,  Gba mi leti ki n dolowo  (slap me make I get money), is an encounter between an “Oga,” the quintessential big man who personifies the impunity of power, and an unnamed person who represents the disempowered masses. In the song, Oga reaches out to slap the Unnamed’s face.
