Shogun Lia, who claims to be the third member of Guinea's popular artistic group Mifageya, has spoken out about feeling excluded and overlooked. He says this comes after Two Marley and Magika, two other members, met with Guinea's Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Handicrafts, Moussa Moïse Sylla. Shogun Lia expressed disappointment that he was not included in discussions that led to an announcement of health support for his fellow members.

According to Shogun Lia, he has played a significant role in Mifageya's history and musical journey, particularly in the creation of their album "Koné Bili" and several notable tracks. He emphasizes that Mifageya consists of three members: himself, Two Marley, and Magika. Shogun Lia is based in Kakimbo, which he describes as the group's historical base, and claims to be in regular contact with his fellow members, especially Magika.

Shogun Lia expressed his surprise and disappointment at being excluded from recent efforts, despite maintaining good relations with Magika and sharing moments of conviviality. While he is pleased with the attention given to Two Marley and Magika, he believes he deserves the same consideration and support. He questions why he is being left out of these activities, given his importance to the group.

To support his claims, Shogun Lia mentions several notable tracks from Mifageya's repertoire, including "Koné Bili", "Ferbalanso", and "Rastaman en colère". He also suggests that several veteran figures from Guinea's music scene can attest to his contributions to Mifageya's history. Through his public statement, Shogun Lia directly appeals to Minister Moussa Moïse Sylla to acknowledge the existence of three members in the group.

Shogun Lia urges the authorities to take his situation into account and not ignore him in the announced support measures. He wants the minister to recognize that Mifageya consists of three members: himself, Two Marley, and Magika. This public statement raises questions about the recognition of all group members and their contributions to the initiatives announced by the Culture department.

The issue has sparked debate about the importance of acknowledging and supporting all members of a group. Shogun Lia's claims have brought attention to the need for fair treatment and recognition of individual contributions within a collective. The situation will likely be closely watched by fans and followers of Mifageya.

This development may lead to further discussions and actions from the relevant authorities and the public.
