Femi Kuti Cries Out As Fg Threatens To Shut Down Fela African Shrine Over by Varbuena: 3:50am On Nov 17, 2020
The November 17 event poster
Superstar singer, Seun Kuti, the son of legendary Fela, has said the government threatened to shut African Shrine if he goes ahead with the launch of his “political resistance” which he called The Movement of the People.

In a post on his Instagram page (bigbirdkuti) duplicated on his Twitter handle (@RealSeunKuti) Seun revealed that “the government” made the threat in a call to his elder sister.

Seun also posted a letter from the Divisional Police Officer, The Nigeria Police, Alausa Division, Ikeja Lagos, and addressed to THE MANAGER, The African Shrine, No. 1, NERDC Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos.

In the letter dated November 16, 2020, entitled “RE: Mass Meeting of a Movement of the People tagged #EndSARS Movement: Lessons and Task,” the Police said the meeting Seun was planning “is not welcome at this perilous time.”

The letter read in part: “Your are hereby warned to suspend such gathering as any infraction that may emerge from this gathering will be tag (sic) a deliberate action to sabotage the transition and restoration of the peace in Lagos State by Lagos State government and the Nigeria Police Force.”

Seun’s reaction
Reacting to the development, Seun wrote: “So yesterday (Sunday, November 15) the government called my eldest sister @yeniakuti and threatened to close the shrine if I hold my event there tmr (Tuesday, November 17) and also sent a letter to back it up.

“I respect my families’ decision not to hold the event as is, but I will still go ahead with all the other organisations to launch THE MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE tomorrow (Tuesday) and start our political resistance to the tyranny of this oppressive regime.

“This is a meeting, just a meeting of organisations, and they are basically banning the right of association.

“Why are they afraid of the people organising? What is democratic about this act?

“The last time we tried to launch the government quickly called curfew and this time they have used threat, but you can’t stop the will of the people.”

The organisations expected at the launch include Nigeria Resistance Movement (NRM), Socialist Vanguard Tendency(SVT), Movement for Socialist Alternative(MSA), Joint Action Front (JAF) among others.

Hmmm. Is it Buhari that freed cultists from prisons in Edo now killing people sir.

Is it Buhari who created all those fake creatives,videos,pictures of dead people loaded in hilux vans and being shared to incite the carnage in Lagos?

He is obviously playing with fire because while he still has his brother's business still standing, other people's businesses have been razed down and now in serious debt yet these are people who don't even have anything to the with the incitement.

I think it is wise and lucky of him to have elder ones who know how badly hurt some people and the government are. If he had tried holding it there , he would have seen shege.

Now he seems to be acting like a privilged person so disconnected from the pains of innocent people.


#Justice for victims of Lagos carnage

Orisa37, what a fine way to put it. Lucifer and his host of demons are actually headquartered in Aso Villa. What this government has turned this country into in a space of five years is unimaginable.

This government is going to push the lions into a corner and then they will know what democrazy truly is.

Instead of them to be pampering the youths like a new bride they want to use the archaic system of sorrow tears and blood ..

Shame

#Revolution now#

Only a stupid govt will be bullying his citizens with power,
1st, you shot at them during a supposed peaceful protest.
2nd, You start freezing their accounts, after u thought you have won the battle.
Now, you want to start locking up their homes, based on allegations or whatever..
Still some stupid nigerians will support their every nonsense.
