Fela Kuti Men's T-Shirt

Product Information

Fela is wrongfully jailed for three days giving him material for future albums, Alagbon Close and Expensive Shit. With no international record deal and an economic recession gripping Nigeria, this is a difficult year for Fela. Fela and his political party Movement Of The People are banned from contesting Nigeria’s presidential election. As Stephen King famously remarked on book openings, the front cover of this book also says: “Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.” And when you indeed enter its world, you are not disappointed.

Fela changes his last name from Ransome-Kuti to Anikulapo-Kuti (“one who carries death in his pouch”).If you are an employee, apply for a week’s leave. If, on the other hand, you are self-employed or an employer of labour, you will still need to set a week aside. Most importantly, make sure you are not home alone. The author dedicates the book to the memories of Sola and Fehintola Anikulapo-Kuti. However, if these damsels were alive, they would sue Erhabor for unsolicited association with a bad product.

Fela leaves Abeokuta for London. His parents had hoped he would study to become a doctor but Fela is determined to continue with music.

Write a Comment

During his lifetime, Fela had an obsession for Igbo. This book, written after his demise, is obsessed with commas! Who else can write credibly about Fela than a man who knew him from the start of his career to the end of his life? This memoir, published in 2016, is replete with anecdotes that can never be found in any book on the subject. Of the lot, Arrest the Music! Fela and his Rebel Art and Politics by Tejumola Olaniyan, is the most aesthetic!

Poor grammar, spellings, and punctuations were compounded by poor story telling skills. It is the mother of awful books! Ooops…Did I just call it that? Read to the end (but then, I advise you toss this book with a great heave!).If this short review is not enough and you still want to read Idowu’s book because I know you are as curious as the cat, I wish you well. Fela’s high-profile campaign for the right to smoke weed continues, as does police harassment of him and the Shrine. On a visit to Lagos, Fela meets Jimo Kombi Braimah, known to everyone as JK, who will become his life-long friend and confidant. A comma indicates a pause between the ending of an introductory word, phrase, or clause, and the beginning of the main part of the sentence. That’s French to Idowu. Olufela Olusegun Oludoton Ransome-Kuti - Fela - is born on 15 October in Abeokuta, a town fifty miles north of Lagos.
