I am Happy Bobby Wine was able to attend after escaping from Police in Uganda Just last week, This man should Push the 33 Years old Tyrant Museveni out of Uganda

It's almost impossible. Unless museveni dies.
He has the army on lock down and does not hesitate to use his powers.
Almost as ruthless and certainly more cunning than Abacha.

Shame is a reflex., a characteristic of living things. A lifeless nation governed by a lifeless President cannot feel ashamed

The Felabration ceremony seems to have undergone some kind of transformation over the years starting from its initial concept which was to celebrate the identity of the late Afro beat King, Fela Anikulakpo Kuti.

Now more ceremony have been built into it.

We now have even Femi Falana attending the programme.

Now literary big names like Nobel Laurette Wole Soyinka, Chimamada Adichie have also joined the train.

So it is not only about Fela 's music and all that?

But where is Seun Kuti for God sake?

This Fela 's son seem to be an outcast.

He is always staying out of events celebrating his late father.

French President, Mr Macron flew all the way from France to celebrate Fela and his contribution to arts and culture and was hosted by former governor Akinwunmi Ambode during the last Felabration ceremony, Seun Kuti stayed out of the ceremony.

What is wrong about him?

Is he against his father good name, honour and respect?

We all know too well that he has ISSUES with his senior brother, Femi Kuti who is also a musician like himself.

But must Seun Kuti dishonour his late father to spite his brother, Femi Kuti ?

Time will tell !

Join me to celebrate Fela Anikulakpo Kuti !

You are an ignoramus if you feel leg crossing is or should be exclusively for females.

Corruption worse under President according to Transparency index
02/22/2018

Nigeria dropped 12 places from its position of 136th least corrupt country in 2016 to 148th.
Despite the widely-publicised anti-corruption war of President Muhammadu Buharis administration, Nigeria ranks as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, according to the 2017 corruption perception index (CPI) released by Transparency International (TI).
The index ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption in the opinion of experts and business people and uses a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean.

In the new index that was published on Wednesday, February 21, 2018, Nigeria dropped 12 places from its position of 136th least corrupt country in 2016 to 148th with 27 CPI points, one less than it scored in the previous ranking.

Why Nigeria is struggling with corruption
