Fela Kuti's 78th Posthumous Birthday Is Today by lalasticlala(m): 8:07am On Oct 15, 2016
Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti[1] (15 October 1938 – 2 August 1997), known professionally as Fela Kuti, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, or simply Fela, was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer, pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre, human rights activist, and political maverick.

He has been called "superstar, singer, musician, Panafricanist, polygamist, mystic, legend."

During the height of his popularity, he was often hailed as one of Africa's most "challenging and charismatic music performers."

A true Legend.

There can never be two Fela's in the World.

Salute to a Legend.

Fela's death to AIDS was a teachable period in Nigeria. He was/still the highest public profile person to have died of the disease in Nigeria, and when his Doctor brother came out openly to announce it to the World, that AIDS killed Fela, it now dawned on me that CHAI this thing is real ohh.

Look at the dark skinned beauties in the last picture. Those were the days you could still find dark girls in Nigeria, all of a sudden all the girls in Nigeria are competing to be "light".

I miss our dark skin girls.

Abami eda ....
your words have come back to haunt us
your visions are realities today
your prophesies have manifested demselves
we wallow in ocscurity
but we know that just as you sounded out the truth
posterity would judge all that have plunged our land into this sort of hopelessness
but we would hold on
we would persevere
and eventually .. we would win
we would be victorious

Because
Nigeria is greater than all of them put together

they forget that our discontentment brought them to power
that same discontentment would boot them out if care isnt taken
and we mean it

like if you miss Abami Eda
Share if you are Tired of APC

Why did Fela like wearing only pant? And why did he like women surrounding him at all times?
