are you sure we aren't mistaking eccentricity for Intelligence? I mean it's easy to assume loudmouthness and braggadocio to be an indication of mental capacity. In order words I doubt fela was intelligent. He did say some reasonable things. But genius...! Nope.

Btw. He looks so thin and fragile in that picture. Must have been taken towards the end of his life.

Some reincarnated and gone again.
