Femi Anikulapo Kuti Femi Anikulapo-Kuti performing “Beng Beng Beng” at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1999. The song was banned by the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation during the military era, and the ban was upheld under the Obasanjo administration. Despite this, the song became a massive hit outside Nigeria, contributing significantly to his success at the KORA Awards and beyond. It’s also worth noting that Egbon Femi Kuti has been touring internationally with his band, Positive Force, since 1988, consistently performing every year. #Legend ✊🏿❤️

Koko Zaria mocking MC Oluomo over his bad leg is really low. Sego should caution him and not get carried away, agberos no too get loyalty like that, because lots of the people praising him today were once the same people doing “twaley” for MC Oluomo. K1 acted wisely by making sure no one tried to outshine MC, he even used his music to place MC above everyone, which is how it should be. Power is transient.

“Baby Girl” by Beninese artist Nel Oliver, recorded in the late 1980s, is a heartfelt, multilingual song (English, French, Yoruba, and Gun) that captures a father’s blend of love, pride, and quiet sadness as he gives his daughter away on her wedding day. It beautifully reflects the bittersweet reality of watching a child grow up and begin a new chapter of her own. By God’s grace, I’ll be playing this song for my daughters on their wedding day. 🎈🎊

Fela Anikulapo Kuti broke down in tears while recording this song “Unknown Soldier.” He was overwhelmed with emotion, channeling deep pain and grief as he revisited the 1977 military attack on his Kalakuta Republic home and the death of his mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti. I hope that one day the Federal Government will formally apologize to his family for her death and properly honour her legacy. In 2012, under President Goodluck Jonathan, the Federal Government proposed placing her image on the N5,000 note, but the Kuti family rejected the gesture. #Heroes

Fela Anikulapo Kuti released the song “Army Arrangement” at the height of military rule in Nigeria, and not long after, he was sent to prison on controversial charges. The song was a direct and fearless critique of the Nigerian military government. In it, Fela exposed the alleged disappearance of $2.8 billion in oil revenue, electoral fraud, widespread poverty, and systemic corruption. He also openly challenged former president Olusegun Obasanjo to a public court debate, branding him and his second-in-command, Musa Yar’Adua, as thieves.
