Fela Kuti Is The Greatest Political Activist And Artist Nigeria Has Produced by Nobody: 5:46pm On Jun 23, 2020 |
The pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre and human rights activist. At the height of his popularity, he was referred to as one of Africa's most "challenging and charismatic music performer. He was also a prophet who warned Nigeria of impending doom with "Beasts of no Nation" when he slammed Obasanjo and Buhari. Nigerians failed to heed his warning and gave these two leaders 16 years to further destroy the nation and turn it into the poverty and corruption capital of the world. He also spoke against corruption of M.K.O Abiola and his alleged payments to government officials for I.T.T to win the telecommunications sales contracts in Nigeria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWUABi-aiYM He was often brutalized by the military authorities and jailed for speaking out against their epidemic corruption and misgovernance. The saturation point was reached when the military killed his grandmother by throwing her off the second floor of one of the building in his shrine. Fela Kuti is recognized by world leaders like Former United States President,Barack Obama, who is acknowledged his work to Prime Minister of France,Emanuel Macron, whose first port of call when he came to Nigeria, was Fela Shrine in Lagos. He has also been immortalized by Hip Hop royalty Jay Z and Hollywood royalty Will Smith, who teamed up to immortalize his work in a Broadway Musical "Fela!" in New York,USA. 2 Likes 1 Share

I just laugh when people compare the likes of burna boy, wizkid even tuface to him. It's like comparing a lion to a dog. The man actually criticized the leaders during the "military regime". Despite all they did to him, he didn't backdown. The man is the definition of "brave". 6 Likes 2 Shares |

RuudVanNisteroy: Point of correct, Fela Kuti was never the pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre either in Nigeria or Africa. Yari.ba peeps always will deceitfully arrogate unfathomable accolade to themselves. Fela Kuti was just a follower of Afrobeat music. 1 Like |
