It's true because right now who talks about Fela having AIDS? Just his legacy

[@tdad8683]

Fela wasn't the first and only great person to die of AIDS. There's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING shameful about it because it is just like dying of any other infection. He was human after all and human beings naturally get sick and die.

[@esthyesthy972]

Exactly!!!!

Thanks a million times Dr Abiola for curing me from Hiv virus, you are indeed a dedicated and compassionate doctor, you’ll forever have a place in my heart ❤ Am grateful sir #drabiola ....

[@anonnona6433]

May he rest peacefully. You are right. If the family hadn't come out to say the truth, by now there would be 1000 conspiracies about his death. The biggest one would be that he was killed by his competitors because of jealousy.

I really enjoyed her interview. Her expressions

[@oludotunsamuel5091]

Fela senior brother is a honest man

[@enod9746]

Nigeria's best minister of health ever. Under Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, Nigeria attained the status of having the second lowest maternal and child mortality numbers in the world! His Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) was a monumental success. The only minister that IBB never replaced in the 8 years he was in power. He developed Nigeria's first primary health care program.

Person wey nor get respect for im own Papa, wey dey call im own Papa "Fela" , na im you wan carry respect give, dey call am "Aunty Yeni"🤣 If she can refer to her own father as "father" why should anyone call her aunty ? Her name is Yeni. Nack am for head as e take nack e own papa name for head

[@obideluxeobi5708]

​@@daughterofenoch677 Aproko! Did you not know that Fela asked his children to call him by his name FELA?

[@daughterofenoch677]

Oh look 👆🏼 It's the errand-boy of the family of modern degenerates. He's come to defend unnatural and inappropriate family relations

[@daughterofenoch677]

Lol You get sense well well oo Yeni. So you understand that Koye was your uncle and you refer to him respectfully as "Uncle Koye". But you fail to understand that Fela was your father. Your refer to him disdainfully as Fela in the same breath as you refer to his brother as Uncle Koye. You get sense well 😁

[@victoriaotakwu]

That’s what Fela said he wants to be addressed as. Did you follow the entire interview from the beginning?

[@daughterofenoch677]

@@victoriaotakwu Go and address your own father by his first name and then come back to repost your next comment. Fool. If your father tells you to place your right hand on his genitals will you do it and say "he told me to do it" ?

[@belemasworld1106]

Fela never allowed his kids call him daddy. Please listen to the full interview

[@Kaypaul50]

Fela asked his children to call him Fela not dad. So what's your point. Seek to understand before you start throwing abuses about.

@@belemasworld1106 If your father invites you to lie in bed with him and stroke his genitals will you do and say "he told me to do it" ?
