Baba the nonsense

[@donkenobi]

Shook his hand after a show once in his “shrine”. He was exhausted and came to the back of the hall where he plonked in a chair with his arms hanging from the back rest. I approached. No bodyguards. He was a true man of the people. Sitting, watching the stage, with a huge crowd behind him. Totally exhausted. “Good evening sir (it was early in the morning hit who cared 😎) can I just please shake your hand?” I asked the great man. Until just now, I never understood his response. His response was “Why? Why? Why? Why?” Opening his huge palms and giving me a sting handshake. Why? = “Why would you even ask, just walk up and stretch your hand…” He was a true man of the people. One of a kind. True legend. True son of Africa. #dk #OldManInTheMolue Forgot to add: This happened in May 1987. 35 years ago…. I was 24 years old 😃😎✌🏾

To the family of mr Fela kuty ( a man with eagle eyes ) don't let no body through word at u to make u be silent. ur Dad was not the first man to introduce Ganja to Nigerians nor the only man who has many women ,comi g ti analyzed his life and other Afican / Nigerian men Fela was honest and opened in all his ways every child and man knew what he was upto ( doing) . most of men have many girlfriends in their closet even those whose religion permits them to married only one wife . what is spoiling Nigerian youth is poverty , injustice ,tribalism ,Religion intolerance ,bad Roads ,lack of equipments in our Hospitals lack of democricy etc ..Fela saw what was coming and he was oreaching and singing it ,but some of us where blind to see and some where deaf to hear, can any listen to his music today and tell me that mr Fela Kuty was mad or singing because he has just finished smoking Ganja or he was singing the truth that was and it is now and even worse then tha t time. . Finally he who has ni sin let him cast the stone on Fela or continue to cast stone . Fela is a hero since he can smoke Ganja and still stand for the truth and worn us and those of us who are not can not sense the Danger then we may as well smoke it . he has many women and children and was able to show them lovre and keep them together, and teach them about their culture and to be hard working and law abiding citizen , while those who didnot smoke have secret children ,secret wives,houses that their money (salary )cannot buy . money that they cannot account for on hw they make then smoking Ganja seems ti be better then having a sober mind . lets' stop the hypocrisy and face reality ,Fela Kuty should be one of our great Heroes because he do what he preach his life was very transparent . he was nit a christian nir a Muslim,But his life was an open book that all can read ,but how about us who are casting stone at him and his children.? if the night should turn into day ,many of us will run away and wish the ground could ooen to hide ⁿŘ⅝ law wages ,

i had the privelege of seeing Fela and the Africa 70 perform live. It was several decades ago. The repetitive beat, incessant rhythmn, shamanic dancing, chanting, full pulsing stage and the thick ganga filled air made for an intoxicating experience. I had to leave after several hours as the never ending pulse was sending me into a trance (which may have been the intention) It was an awesome experience - and not in the west coast teen, gee, fuckwit sort of awesome - but in a total, all encompassing experience. Not necessarily my most enjoyable concert experience but one of the most unforgettable.

The Legend of all time. The Prophet of our time, still speaking eloquently like the first day I heard him on national TV. Now I understand what he "is" teaching for I was too young to comprehend his depth and breadth. God bless you the Great one.

Positive ,vibes ,conscious lyrics, good rhythm, from the 70 to now ,one off God messenger in song

[@Yayock007]

Fela used his musical talents to fight injustice; from a white man or black man. He never proclaimed to be perfect, obviously from his personal life. He is an icon and an idol to many who don't know one end of the sax to the other.

[@jimmypip5648]

Sonorous is his voice, speaking reality that travels through time to register his foreknowledge in the present situation of Africa, even till tomorrow... Fela, a messenger

[@aminealioualla]
