naijablog: Fela, ten years on

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

Article in today's UK Guardian commemorating Fela's death ten years ago next month - written by my mate Alex.

Afolabi, 5:28 pm: I was very young, when he was in active duty, but through his music and what people said about him, I got a sense of the kind of man he is. Now I'm older, I believe he is one of the greatest Nigerians. Regardless of some of the things he did and his opinions, he still fought for injustice in Nigeria.
Atutupoyoyo, 3:38 am: Fela is an absolute legend. He was brutally oppressed by various military regimes but it never shut him up.

RIP Baba 70
