President Buhari Dumbfounded As Asa Performs "Fire On The Mountain" At NNPC Limited Launching! Video

The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has been declared as a commercial entity henceforth.

The launching of the “new” NNPC was graced by president Muhammadu Buhari and other state dignitaries.

One of the major highlights of the event was rendition of “Fire on the Mountain” by Afro-pop/soul singer, Asa.

The song released in 2007 highlights the failures of the government in discharging its duties and its lack of foresight for dealing with matters that might escalate in the future.

Reactions have since been trailing the rendition of the song by Asa on Twitter. Here is how folks on Twitter are reacting:

She's brave!
In the first place, why hold a ceremony for the unveiling of a logo, when we've more pressing issues?
If not that it's a means to allotting billions to wolves!
We're at a breakneck speed to doom and we keep celebrating!
A Sodom with spices of Gomorrah!

What a time to be alive, is not the same NNPC that Nigerians were crying out on why would PDP presidential candidate @atiku back then in 2019 think of privatizing it or am i mistaken it with another NNPC 🙄

This is so beautifully poignant. Perfect song to remind those who have mismanaged this country that they're burning everything down. Only problem is Buhari and his cronies don't care if the mountain and the surrounding valleys burn to ashes…

I was just smiling throughout ☺️ 😭😂. It's the caption for me ❤️😂🤣. Not "asa performed at the nnpc relaunch", not "asa performs fire on the mountain at nnpc relaunch". It's "Fire on the mountain + in the presence of Buhari". I see what you did there 🤣😂
