Question Mark - Be Nice To The People (2022)

Recorded in 1977 by Fela producer Odion Iruoje as he chased the runaway success of high school band Ofege - best known in 2024 for their "It's Not Easy."*

The Western world was in the throes of peace, love and flower power as Nigeria descended into civil war in 1967. The rock scene that developed during the following three years of bloodshed and destruction would come to heal the country, propagate the world-wide ideal of the modern Nigerian, and propel Fela to stardom after the conflict ended in 1970.

The members of Question Mark were children when the Nigerian civil war ended and by the time they recorded their only album in 1977 they were college students, chasing rock n' roll dreams as Afro-beat turned to Afro-disco. Theirs is a fiery reminder of a once vibrant scene, whose story was told in great detail in Now-Again's two anthologies, Wake Up You! The Rise And Fall of Nigerian Rock.
