I live close to fela
Trust me you were not born when this happened

Uncle, what year did that happen?

Ehiscotch:
Fela was sturborn and resilient.

No amount of flogging could break him.

He knew the truth and he stood by it.

He was a true hero. One we should emulate.

There is nothing heroic about fela

I remember when our principal with school bus had to go fela shrine back then now computer village to pick up all the girls that refuses to come to school becos they had to go to fela shrine on a school day.

Do you know what it means when someone refer to you as fela boy or omo fela? It is derogatory. Meaning Indian hemp smoker, prostitute, bad person, wayward etc

Even after his died before his house at gbemisola was turn into a museum. You still don't understand why that place was turned into a museum it was a strategy to keep the area igbo free

My friends still go there to smoke Indian hemp in fela's compound even after his death. Some parents had to relocate their children abroad becos he corrupted them in terms of xter.


Police don't raid his house when he was alive he gives them igbo.

[quote author=dhope001 post=59092610]Blessed Memory how I wish he knew Christ before his death [/quote.

Fela knew Christ. All that he did, including his manner of death, were authorised and approved by his Maker. He was a good example of Christlikeliness.
Who amongst us nowadays will wish for a Child like John The Baptist who was neither eating nor sleeping with his parents? The Military will carry the burden of Fela's death for a while.

Sadly, Fela was no saint. But you can't say he was not a musical legend. No one is perfect. Michael Jackson is still called a legend today even with all his drug and pedophilia cases.

Interesting stuff.... Makes no difference how I feel about the man. Live on Legend.

Creative people are some of the craziest people on earth. Even the quiet ones are crazy. But that doesn't in any way diminish the greatness of their works.

its true that fela's music was legendry & full of originality. he was also brunt to the authorities, telling them the harsh truths. but his actions was confusing as to the type of society he was agitating for. his physical packaging was totally of the hook. this area boys menace was started by fela system. fela has good features, as well as the bad sides. but he was never a good role models to the youths because he was highly corrupting.

Reminds me of Nnamdi Kanu.
Very determined in his cause.

please why did the soldiers do that to him knowing fully well that he is a musician?

free2ryhme:
Fela is not a legend. Those who grew up in Ikeja knows what I am talking about.

Computer village use to be the shrine back then and he refused to pay binite the owner of the place he used for many years till he died

what has owing someone money has to do with fela lengendary

what has owing someone money has to do with fela lengendary

Imagine using someone's place for over 10 years and refusing to pay. What is legendary about that

Corrupting children and killing innocent individuals

Noting to be call legend with suck crazy behavior

After Fela Kuti,
The nearest with such bravery or even more is Nnamdi KANU.


Tuface had the rare opportunity to write his name amongst the braves but just an encounter with the DSS made him swallow his words.

pweshboi:
Intellectual men that can face the government in a very deep and thought provoking ways are no more... All we see are "boys" ranting up and down. They don't have a clue of how to make the government dance to their tunes and agitation. #iRestMyCase

Fela's style is old, nowadays you confront Nigerian government by working hard and by never allowing Nigerian situation to be bring you down.

Fell would forever remain a scar on the conscience of this nation.He wasn't a prophet,but his message was with metaphor and prophecy. The immediacy that his message sent out was never acted upon.But now,the manifestations are all too glaring for all to deny
