"I'm an African, I want the whole continent to myself" Yes brother! Nigerian still has a colonial name.

[@Mystr438]

Femi perspective is too deep for the ordinary African mind to appreciate

[@arnelevans25]

Exactly

[@JamesBond-mh3ed]

I definitely agree with you on that! It’s very sad how a lot of people don’t educate themselves and I appreciate the information he shared & views…

[@cibideliziosi]

Verily!

[@sulaimonolabode3613]

Femi I proud of you for claiming Egba land, I came from there too. Love brother femi for saying the truth.

[@nanamalik9052]

This girl doesn't even understand a thing he is saying , I mean this man made complete sense for more than 5 minutes and all she asked was that ?

True...we must claim the entire continent. ..not small colonial pieces of it.

[@Porkcylinder]

Négusfirst what are you saying,Africa for Africans?

@@Porkcylinder lol if i have to say that.. There's a real problem... It's not even a question for me.

[@Porkcylinder]

May God bless your soul for speaking the truth because this white men or should foreign mix men of different ethnic groups are very evil in their ways. God will punish dem!!!!

[@igwehstone4889]

Nice talk from reasonable man Kuti

[@BigFish83]

Femi is a different breed among fela children

[@wonitahandrew5227]

Speaking pure FACTS

[@queeni-wisdomearth8387]

This interviewer was not intellectually inclined enough to surf this topic with Femi in the right direction.

[@raymondlincoln8783]

Black man know thyself!!

God bless you from Paris

[@wisdomo9089]

[@justinaalone5268]

And some Nigerians are still dreaming of one Nigeria

[@TayongoExplores]

He is not against one Nigeria.

[@user-ne7mq1hp6w]

​​​​@@TayongoExplores ok, find a different name, even Africa is false name, definitely that royal family is the worst thing to have happened to the world, 150 millions people they mass killed, sorry for any offenses .madam tinubu is a party to the worst crimes against humanity, crazy a lineage is president.

[@belladamma2345]

I didn’t even need him to explain his comment I knew exactly what he meant.

[@malangmendy3416]

This MAN is very interligen if you see afrikan people say forget the back it's because there is no knowledge of seft

[@funkhouse5936]

Well said

[@albertparbey7344]

[@chinaemeremobidimma4243]

Look at what this wise man said, and the Igbos are still divided, with some saying I'm not igbo, Yorubas are really wise.

[@Frednaldo]

Baba Femi you too much

[@nnamdixrevolutionary8883]

🎯🎯🎯🎯💯 Facts Femi

[@Boombastic82]

it's unfortunate that many Nigerians are not educated about what they have done to us. what Femi is talking about is SSS1 or SSS2 history. History was taken out systematically from our curriculum because that knew we will find the truth some how. So pardon the ignorance of our sister the interviewer. Though if Nigerians could seek books and documents about us there will be the liberation we crave bit for now it is a very long road.

[@eddierocksteady5740]

The name Nigeria is an insult, if you Look at it closely.

[@lenmark8141]

Explain?

[@LunaPaloma77]

Exactly.

[@Ueshl7]

The river Niger is really offensive!

[@Ashleycakeomg]

Yup there’s a “G” missing ! Hint Hint !

[@AFROKINGCALIFORNIA]

@@lenmark8141 Nigga Area and they Olosho journalist girl friend of lord Oloribuku lugard practically degraded us with that name because if you check ,Even the River Niger was also from same Origin as Nigeria which is An Area populated my Black people "Niggas" According to them. If you truly check our location is the most populated Environment by blacks any where in the world. There you go , The Explanation sir

[@olajideokuneye1725]

Sense....

[@christianakoma3893]

Yes sir I'm with you. move on move on from what it is happening as we're speaking.

[@ezraakran7158]

Sound mind

[@InvisibleOpey]

Wisdom

[@grafianhealingcentre6824]

Let's call Nigeria ,Wazobia 🇳🇬

[@Ueshl7]

So? Nigeria would be again divided in many kingdoms fighting themselves. A country can be divided when its peoples are too much separated...but take a look at South Sudan.... I think the main problem in Nigeria (as in nearly all countries) is corruption of the elite through international economic interests and this can only be solved with empowering of the people and social responsibility. But it is your country, so you have to decide.

[@alexisphiri1839]

. . .call it, "Kalakuta" ha ha ha! Every one say, "yeah yeah!"

[@flavormixlounge6521]

Nnamdi kanu says the same , Biafra must go

[@SjoeperdKnoepert]

A United States of Africa would make things right

[@queensuzy5572]

He is saying the truth Nigeria is still colonial name not our name

[@Porkcylinder]

Africa for Africans. Europe for Europeans

[@texcity2004]

Femi makes a lot of sense to me...The interviewer is deeply and willfully ignorant..

[@olalerealleluia2391]

African United States

[@olajideokuneye1725]

It should be called WAZOBIA.

[@MrSqilz]

Why is she talking with an americanized accent?

[@babateacheralaye9333]

Nigeria has never been ONE. The name itself is a fluke. That is why the fake politicians/pastors behave barbarically. If Buhari is hell bent what of Osinbajo who is learned and called himself pastor. Does it mean Osinbajo love the situation we find ourselves now.

[@TagusMan]

So, as long as the empire is home grown, then imperialism is cool. Got it.

[@emmablaze1]

This girl is just shallow... Man said no jokes and all she could ask was that question? She clearly didn't get a thing at all about what he was saying.

[@tenialind3480]

We don't have have any Colonies, is only we have Modern Slavly with Religion and this is the big Fake in africa. What about France?????

[@tenialind3480]

Frankreich is France. You don't kwon your History even?

[@Ehimwema]

Not necessary. Too complicated. Love you though Femi Kuti.

[@cibideliziosi]

Femi, you just mentioned the name Nigeria should be called " United States of Africa" ; because, indeed we are United. I don't think there's any country in the world or in Africa at large that holds the most amalgamated empires such as our. I stand to be corrected. Hence, I am no longer a Nigerian, I am frm US of Africa.

[@waavyjones9868]

Interviewer sold her soul a long time ago. She’s clueless.

[@michaelbentley5028]

NONSENSE.

[@lenmark8141]

No.
