Fela was an enigma.

He most certainly was, I was taught here in the U.S that James Brown had a huge influence on Fela Kuti but Bootsy Collins, the bassists says it was Fela Kuti that influenced the James Brown band. Fela was traditional African music and he used talking horns and mixed it with African American Jazz but Fela was way ahead of the sophistication of Jazz. Fela was an traditional African musician, liberator, thinker, intellectual, and very creative.


When James Brown toured Nigeria in 1970, bassist William 'Bootsy' Collins recalls, '[Fela] had a club in Lagos, and we came to the club and they were treating us like kings. We were telling them they're the funkiest cats we ever heard in our life. I mean, this is the James Brown band, but we were totally wiped out! That was one trip I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.'"
For the full text of the interview, click here. "The Big Fela"

**
In another interview, Bootsy also stated, "I thought THEY were the greatest, period. Even before I got
into James Brown's band, the James Brown band was number one to me. But once I got there and saw Fela and them, then I had second thoughts about it....when I heard these cats, it was like another dimension... a deeper feel to me...it was like, 'Man, this is IT. We gotta try to be like this!' [laughs]..." (Excerpted from Jaybabcock.com

Fela was sturborn and resilient.

No amount of flogging could break him.

He knew the truth and he stood by it.

He was a true hero. One we should emulate.

"MUSIC IS THE WEAPON", probably the most stupid saying by Fela, the "intellectual", and even by anyone dead or alive.
Tell me what other means he would have used during the reign of a staunch military dictator? And secondly answer me if his music didn't send the right message and made an impact. And thirdly can u kindly in your vast knowledge of the things he should have done, mainly seeing from the angle you're coming from (he should have led a protest with arm bearing youths and go to the government house to shoot and chase the president out) shey?.... Lol too much American movies. Kindly give constructive answers to the questions above please.

After Fela Kuti,
The nearest with such bravery or even more is Nnamdi KANU.


Tuface had the rare opportunity to write his name amongst the braves but just an encounter with the DSS made him swallow his words.

You are definitely mad for comparing Abami Eda with that boy. You're definitely a millennium child.

Oga no Nigerian is as Brave as Fela or even near am. Nnamdi Kanu was a coward. Few years back he was singing One Nigeria during GEJ era, now Biafra, i'm sure he will change tunes again, brave people don't do such, thats mediocrity and sign of hypocrite. He is confused soul, who keeps changing as chameleon. No Nigerian like Fela, he stocked to his guns and didn't change even when they burnt down his house, killed his mum, jailed him severally, battered him severally and again he was a legendary musician who sang against bad vices during Military era while other Nigerian musicians sang praises of corrupt politicians to enjoy continuous patronage and not to suffer the same fate as Fela. Do they do one cent of such to Nnamdi Kanu? Show me one picture of Nnamdi Kanu where he was battered. He almost changed tunes again when Buhari held him hostage, he was begging for his life to be freed. Can Nnamdi Kanu agitate during Babangida, Abacha government and still be alive? Dem no born am well, but Fela did all these successfully.
U too much bro. Let him ask Ken wawa, M.K.O Abiola etc him go know say Fela na heavyweight

Am sorry to say this, Pls dont mention fela with kanu. Coz they are completely opposite. Pls and pls, I am not against agitation that eaterners are fighting for, but if u knew fela well, have u seen him condemned or incite violence despite his Mal treatment from the military government? U can't ever compare a legend to kanu. If u know where fela story had reached and touched in this world, u will hate kanu. Period


Was Fela not fighting the govt? Is that not inciting violence according to you lot? In fact Fela nearly caused war grin tongue

The electrician may have stolen his weed, nothing mattered to Fela in life that weed and pusssy. The boy may have smoked Fela's weed and laid his concubine.

He lived for Cannabis and died for pusssy.

These are the only things you know:

Weed
Pusssy
Cannabis
Concubine

Tell us the story.

There so much to tell but don't have the energy you live within the same vicinity of someone like fela you know there is bound to be issues

From Atinuke olabanji street ikeja to Gbemsola street close to Airport hotel down to Ipodo to his former shrine now computer village

Fela was not a good influence in the area. His name was synonymous to irresponsibility

When parents say to their child this omo fela it connotes gangsterism, Indian hemp smoker, thief and a prostitute.

The electrician he killed went to work in his house one thing led to another he asked his boys to gag him he used electric cable flogged the boy in the process he died.

This was big issue back them but some how his brother was minister of health, olikoye ransome kuti under the military back then used his influence to get him off the hook

Fela was formerly Fela ransome kuti, he changed it to anikulapo kuti

He had a famous bouncer Anigboro

Thanks for the enlightenment EGBON, however what later happened to his twenty seven wives and which part of the village was his base? I like historical facts, so please pardon me. The said electrician while I was a small boy, I was told he pilfered and fela abhors stealing of any form. Thanks
