Seun Kuti has revealed that while everyone now wants to associate with Fela and his legacy, they weren't there when his family had to endure the struggles of being a part of Fela's life.

He said Fela's women, including his mother and his step mum Najite, suffered brutality in the hands of Nigerian soldiers who oppressed them because of Fela's fearlessness. He added that their home was usually invaded by trigger-happy soldiers.

He wrote:

Whatever you think Fela went through, he went through with his family. We were his rock. My mother used to tell me bed time stories about all the scars on her. My step mum, Najite was the first person the soldiers saw in kalakuta, she was swimming, they picked her up by her head from the pool and broke her neck!! My mother had a broken bayonet stitched into her and she couldn’t walk for 18months. The amount of state sanctioned violence I have seen in my life as a child. When I was 9 I saw the cops shot and kill one of my dads boys in front of shrine and just left him there for nothing. Fela tried to protect us but u can’t protect anyone from that! You know these fucking cops would come to our house and just shoot up the place at least 2ice a week? Do y’all know that? Or u think this is just play play? See Fela’s music is a gift for the world and everyone is welcome but our legacy is ours alone, to protect and nurture. Y’all fakers stay waaaaay back. This isn’t your space. #getthesax

Buhari means disaster. If anyone says "I Buhari you", better beg the person because that's a big curse

Even dis one dat is living on his father's glory won't let us hear word nw...

This can only happen in a shithole like this where those meant to protect the citizens are their worst enemies.
Fela's legacy is by all means a huge and impactful one, with a global reach!

Number one.
No mate.

Eyaaa, Pele dear

And buhari played a huge part in the harassment of the late Afro beat king,yet some dumbos think he's the best thing to happen to Nigeria after sliced bread.

In the hands of Buhari you mean Sir!!!!

The problem with this guy is that he refused to get education like his father. He would have done better in life.

Fela....the prophet without a church

This is the part that caught my eye... People like Wizkid shout Felaback on their Snapchats but given the opportunity baba for japa if he faced ordinary police raiding him

But Fela sef get mind o... Experiencing physical and emotional pain and still never giving up

He's the greatest!

it was buhari

Thats why one doesnt stick his neck out for Niggerians. While you leading from the front they will work with their oppressors ( the same oppressors you are fighting) to stab you from behind.

Fela is a legend!!!

It's such a pity that no one could pick up his mantle 2baba tried but wasn't brave enough so he redrew ...

Long live Fela !!!!

Fela baba 70

Tu face wanted to be bold like Fela but the powers that be humbled him
