Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, the mother of Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, served with distinction as one of the most prominent leaders of her generation and was awarded the Vladimir Lenin Peace Price in 1970. She even travelled as far as China to meet with her leader, Mao Zedong in which many saw her as a communist. #HistoryVille

What a great legend!. She never left without her sons taking over from her even the second generation Femi Anikulapo Kuti is a very active voice and an ambassador of the legacy left by this great woman.

[@AdigunRasheed]

The Government should apologise to this family again and again.

[@user-rx4ze1hy7r]

You mean this crazy government?

[@frankaideyan5307]

Lovely short documentary but my only criticism is the fact that you missed out on a very important part of her life, she was actually part of the delegation that fought for Nigeria's independence.

[@govannaleroy3961]

Her gentle soul continues to rest in perfect peace

[@barondeanemmanuel2486]

She will always live in my heart. Modern African history. Learn guys!!!. This is our true history. Teach the young ones coming up behind us.

[@blessmelord2259]

She is an icon one we shld respet and learn from

This Queen did not at all deserve to die in the manner that she did. May God give her soul peace and comfort in paradise.

[@abiakinniyi1141]

Mama dada rest well

[@abiodunawujoola8640]

As an educationist, she helped found the girls preparatory school Abeokuta which became Anglican Girls' Grammar school on 14th Februaty 1955. It was transferred to the ANGLICAN MISSIONARY & later changed to Abeokuta Girls' Grammar School. She was very frequent in the school to oversee things when she was in Abeokuta in the 70s. She was an activist & when Abeokuta became a Capital in 1976 she came to adress us - the students on the Assembly ground about the state of politics in Nigeria. She was chauffeur driven in a Peugeot 404 car. May the good works continue to thrive & may God grant her eternal rest. Thank you I am Abiodun (TAIWO) Awujoola.

[@HistoryVille]

Thank you, Abiodun. It's nice to have you here.

[@easybayoo]

If not that the touts, thugs and criminals are those ruling Nigerian, a woman like her suppose to be one of Nigeria presidents but reversed is the case, education is not recognized.

[@kkoo5647]

She lived long though would have lived longer but for the attack on kalakuta

[@doreenonekalit9888]

The spirit lives on!

A highly respectable woman of valour! I had the privilege of meeting this colossus! In the company of one of her friends and our Late Grandma Adeyinka from Abeokuta. She was preparing fresh maize to cook with beans. A dutiful Grandma! RIP.

[@conradsunkiojack2538]

Such a leader of people, trailblazing women's champion and rights activist. She holds a place of prominence in the front seat row of the struggle to free and fight for Independence. Still not yet, but when l write, even as l am doing now, Nigeria's history, she is above the opportunists, treasury raiders, and self acclaimed bigots who think they are something.

[@hawwaumai7268]

such a hero 😁🧓👩‍🦳
