Of course this is long overdue…

The king of Afrobeat! The GOAT ! Abami Eda himself Fela Kuti is getting his Grammy awards of a lifetime influence for creating afrobeat.

In a serious country, Fela Kuti should have been immortalized but I know that will still happen one day. Fela Kuti is a real hero for not only Nigeria but the entire Africa.
He deserves a special recognition. Normally, the federal government should declare a public holiday to recognize Fela and erect a big statue for him and establish a library for him.

Disenfranchised:
Long overdue.

Continue to rest in peace baba.

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht
