Nigerian Singer In Trouble For Praising Hitler
Hakeem Babalola
Published:Februay 09, 2007
A Nigerian born Hungarian singer has put himself in trouble over a video clip in which he
showered Adolf Hitler and Szálasi Ference with praise. Oludayo Olapite, 38, may get three
years imprisonment if found guilty for hailing Hitler and Szálasi. Both men killed many
people during the Second World War in Germany and Hungary respectively.
The trouble started when Bombagyár TV channel uploaded the video clip which is now
under police investigation, to the internet last Saturday. In the video, Olapite, popularly
called Fekete Pákó, lavishly beams an expression of approval and recommendation for the
German politician who remained a totalitarian ruler until his suicide in 1945.
“I was very frightened because I thought I might never see my girlfriend again,” said
Olapite whose funny bait often entraps his Hungarian fans.
He continued: “They gave me a 10-page-script about Gypsy, Hitler, Jews, blacks and the
socialists in which I hardly understood because I was frightened. Although they tried to
calm me down as they repeatedly told me they were not racists or skinheads.
They convinced me that Hitler was a good man who wanted to do the best for the world. I
felt I must do whatever they asked me to do otherwise I won’t go out alive”.
The producer of the Bombagyár channel, Pólgar Tamás a.k.a TomCat, claimed Fekete
Pákó knew exactly what he was saying. “Of course we explained who Hitler and Szálasi
were but for Páko it was unnecessary for him to probe further. Oh, he is not a stupid
ni****. I mean Nigerian”. The Bombagyár TV is often the focus of the media because of
its racial and hatred contents.
However, Africans in Hungary especially Nigerians have dismissed Olapite’s under duress
excuse as implausible and annoying. Archie Bonka, a Ghanaian cultural performer, said that
it was silly on the part of Fekete Pákó to have publicly praised Hitler and condemned the
Gypsy who often calls us their brothers? “Doesn’t he know that many blacks in Germany
were killed by this man? This Nigerian has already destroyed himself. It’s high time he
carried his own cross,” he added.
In his own response to the scandal, Prince Kabir Abubakar said, “Olapite has only himself
to blame for whatever outcome this unfortunate incident ultimately brings”, adding that he
needs to apologize not only to the Gypsy and overall Hungarian population, but also to
Nigerians and the black people the world over.
Zsolt, a Hungarian political student whose class debated over the issue, blamed both Fekete
Páko and the TV station which carried the interview. “My opinion on this Pákó issue is that
both sides are in deep trouble. Even if Pákó did not know what he was saying, the things
he said are against our constitution, and these types of crimes are strictly punished.
Meanwhile the Nigerian Union in Hungary fearing appraisal or revenge has since issued a
statement condemning Olapite’s unfortunate outbursts. Virtually every African in Hungary
believes the Hungarian tabloids have chosen Olapite as a symbol of ridicule, designed to
poke fun on Africa and its people. click the Videos Clicks link for the controversial video

- He also cast aspersions on
Jews and the Hungarian
minority known as Gypsy
saying, “Gypsies don’t
work, so what are they
living on? They do
incredible things, really in
this country. They scam
you, they lie, and you
mustn’t believe what they
say”.
- Olapite when questioned by
the Hungarian police
attributed his outbursts to
life under duress. He
claimed that he was
ordered to shout every
statement he made during
the interview.
