Seeing Asa perform ‘Fire on the Mountain’ at the State House 15 years after it was released and these lyrics still resonate:
“One day the river will overflow
And there’ll be nowhere for us to go
And we will run, run
Wishing we had put out the fire”— Kayode Okikiolu (@KayodeOkikiolu) July 19, 2022

The best song for the occasion. There’s fire on the mountain and this government seems not to be on the run to put it out. Just chilling like all is well.— Spider Naij (@NaijSpider) July 19, 2022
Asa performing at the NNPC relaunch in the presence of Buhari & other APC elites is wr¤ng, she sh¤uld’ve turned down the offer; Our leaders are aware of their evildoings, a song can’t change ’em & we can’t be fighting against bad leaders, then dine with ’em when it’s convenient.— Daniel Regha (@DanielRegha) July 19, 2022
