@TheEconomistOur quote of the day is from Nigerian musician Fela Kuti
Seun Anikulapo Kuti @RealSeunKuti As we all dey yarn about Fela and him music abeg mke we youths dey learn knowledge from d lyrics, those lyrics r important, not a joke.
@Ruese said, Growing up with cats like Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, UB40, etc. that used their music as more than a means of financial gain? PRICELESS.
Kisafi @Hello_kisafi said, he probably wouldn’t have had enough clothes to fill our laundry bag but he made enough music to fill our soul.#fela
