The ‘oke ite’ phenomenon in Nigeria has sparked controversy and drawn the attention of various artists, including Prime M, also known as Onowu Ugonabo, who have criticized it for being a fraudulent practice. This phenomenon involves individuals masquerading as ministers of local deities and exploiting people by claiming to possess supernatural powers through the use of fetishistic ritual pots of charm.
In response to this, Nigerian artist Selense Oyoko has released a song titled “Oke Ite,” where he defends the street culture, stating that he would rather engage in ‘oke ite’ than live in poverty. However, he also emphasizes that not all riches come from such practices and acknowledges that many individuals on the streets have earned their wealth through genuine hard work.
Selense Oyoko’s “Oke Ite” is a Nigerian street song with an Afrobeat influence, addressing the complexities of wealth acquisition in Nigerian society while shedding light on the dangers of fraudulent practices like ‘oke ite.’
