Seun Kuti, grandson of Funmilayo Kuti, one of the women whose pictures have been approved to appear on the proposed N5,000 note, yesterday said his grandmother would not approve of the image, if she were still alive.

Kuti, who is a musician, spoke while appearing on a television programme.

He said: “I do not have the power to stop the government from printing the note but I would want the government to remove my grandma’s face from the so-called note.”

According to him, the Federal Government did not officially inform the Kuti family of the intended action.

He said:  “It was through the radio that we got to know that her face would be used…we were not officially contacted.”

moderatorr: Some fooll comes out to say a great woman's picture shouldnt appear on the national currency note because he happened 2 be his grandson and was not financially contacted by the fg.
Samething the useless daughter did on the renaming of unilag to her father's name.

ANY-PEN :


Unfortunately for you, that fool knows what he's saying, you don't!!!

Abujafood: Funmi Ransome Kuti is a national icon, she isn't the personal property of the Kuti Family but all Nigerians because of her sterling contributions so the family doesn't have to be contacted for permission. It's up to all Nigerians to decide not Kuti's family alone.

dont8: The said national icon was killed by who?
