Tony Award winning Fela Broadway is coming to Nigeria and The Africa Shrine – We are excited! Fela moved back to Nigeria in 1963 with his Koola Lobitos band and trained as a radio producer for the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation. He played for some time with Dr. Victor Olaiya and his All Stars. In 1969, Fela took the band to the United States. While there, he discovered the Black Power movement through Sandra Smith (now Izsadore) that heavily influenced his music and political views and he renamed the band Nigeria’70.

Fela and his band returned to Nigeria and later formed the Kalakuta Republic, a commune, a recording studio, and a home for many. Fela set up a nightclub in the Empire Hotel where he performed regularly. He changed the name to Afro-Spot and then the Afrika Shrine. Fela changed his name from Ransome to Anikulapo (meaning “he who carries death in his pouch”), stating that his original name was a slave name.

Nigeria counted votes on Sunday after millions turned out for parliamentary polls despite violence and delays, with early indications showing a loosening of the ruling party’s grip on the legislature.

Deadly bomb blasts cast a shadow over a bid by Africa’s most populous nation to hold a credible vote after a series of violent and deeply flawed elections, but officials and activists said the polls were a marked improvement.

The twice-postponed parliamentary polls were the first of three crucial elections this month, with presidential elections this coming Saturday and governorship and state assembly ballots on April 26.

“On balance, most people will agree that yesterday’s election was better than the past polls since 1999,” said Chidi Odinkalu of the Open Society Justice Initiative, referring to the year when Nigeria returned to civilian rule.

“This does does not mean however it was perfect. There is still room for improvement.”

A major effort has been undertaken to organise credible polls, with the appointment of a respected academic to head the electoral commission, who ordered a series of reforms.

The previous voter list littered with false entries, including Mike Tyson and Nelson Mandela, was thrown out and replaced with a new one, compiled by taking electronic prints from each finger of every voter.

More than 73 million people registered to vote, http://questionmarkmag.com/2011/04/election-results-yesterdays-election-was-better-than-polls-since-1999/
