Just 62k view, nigerians don't like the truth. A legend like fela should have 20 million viewers

I grew up in his era. How ironic. The same people who nearly killed all of us are still there ruling Nigeria. We never learn.

I remember his burial very well. It was televised. Massive crowd. Lots of people crying. We lost a prophet.

The more I learn about Fela the more I love him and respect everything he stood for. I've been listening to his music for 25+ years and happy to say I still listen to Fela all the time. He's inspired so many musicians and bands here in the U.S. it's amazing. I can't begin to say or truly know what goes on in Nigeria but it's sad to hear that nothing's changed. Praise the Lord for Fela...I don't think there's any other musician who was as big a rebel and activist as Fela was!! No one!! I am happy to say that Afrobeat music is so popular here in America.. It's really beautiful to see. In fact.. tomorrow night here in NY they have one of the annual Felabration concerts going on. It's been happening for quite awhile and it's always a night that's all about his music and the bands play for hours. They do talk about Fela and what he stood for..but it's definitely more about the music and celebrating his incredible afrobeat music that he originated! He's one musician that I so wish I could have seen just once. I got into his music about 4 years before he died..I don't know or can't remember if he played here in the few years before he died ..but man there's not too many musicians I wish I could have seen more than Fela! I've seen Femi and Seun a bunch of times and they're both great.. especially seeing Seun play with Egypt 80. I'd have to say I like seeing Seun more since he plays more Afrobeat than Femi now. One of the best Afrobeat bands out there if anyone is interested is an amazing Afrobeat band called Antibalas!!! Check them out if you're not familiar with them. As well as a newer band called Danaya band.. they're led by Aboubacar Dembele the bassist in the band. Such great music!!! Peace and blessings to everyone and especially Nigeria! May Fela's music and inspiration live on forever!! 🙏✌️🎵🎶

The absolute best documentary on undoubtedly the single greatest African musician EVER!!!!!! It moved me to tears hearing him say "dey kill my mama with tears in his voice" R.I.P Sir!!!

Such a shame Nigeria is still the way it is today. It wont be like this for ever.

12:45 " And blacks are mistreating blacks in Nigeria, what is the reason? That's worse" This man was meant to free Africa (Nigeria)

This was a real man, who played real music to dramatize real situations faced by the masses. He's voice is still loud and clear. It's a painful and disappointing to know that we Nigerians are still being ruled the the circle of leaders who had committed these atrocities against the masses

Fela was a musical prophet. Once you listen to his music your mind is expanded 1o a deeper understanding of African history, particularly Nigerian history. Thank you Fela.

FELA will always be the BEST!!. She was a leader and musical genius. Nowadays it’s about the fame and 💴. From USA we love Fela

You cant break a spirit !

First time I heard "Monday Morning In Lagos" I was brought to tears during Fela's keyboard solo. This song captures the tears and long suffering of so many... Corrupt Politicians, Priests, Pastors & Police have the masses spellbound...and so the nonsense continues.

Fela family needs apology from Nigeria Government

Fela was beautiful inside and out. His music was on another level. People like Kuti only come around once in a lifetime. He was a true musical genius and political activist; a true humanitarian and the ultimate alpha male. He was the real deal: an aristocrat of the highest caliber.

Nigeria government ought to officially apologize and compensate Fela Anikulakpo Kuti family. Fela was a legend, a maestro and freedom fighter who fought for all of us.

After watching this, have remembered how people have recently voted for Buhari!!!!! Morever 2 terms, Have learnt that africans a soo forgetfull and unworthy to sacrifise your life fighting for their rights.

One of the true Freedom Fighter!!!! We need more Fela’s today !!! Questioning the narrative and challenging the establishment and power structure…..

LONG LIVE FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI

Flea loved Nigeria but like what happens to citizens of many countries Nigeria hurt him. We were a young nation, most populous with over 360 ethnic groups. Though all nice people we had not yet come to see each other as one. Still we are traveling the road to unity and perhaps after all this time together we have a better understanding of outside influence and what it means to be out of many one nation. The Kuti family amongst many others made a great contribution to Nigeria as a nation. Not only Fella but his mother and two brothers. Viva Nigeria, viva Africa!!!

Fela. Original name. Original ideas. Original music. A great man. Never to be forgotten!

There will never be anybody like fela in Nigeria and the world. He was brave, fearless, truthful and passionate about the development of his country.

The Spirit still lives 🇿🇲💟👏👏💔💔🇿🇲💟💪 Be Strong Afrika

Just heard where burna Boy gets his lyrics, congratulations on femi for carrying the legacy too

Fela was the man ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Thanks. My warm recognition to the three wise men. I emphatize with Fela over the loose of the woman, who gave him the shoulder to fly, his mum. Fela's Mothers influence over him, really helped his career and life. She, gave Fela all the supports, he needed to succeed on his beliefs. As, it is known with all Philosophers like my dad Baba Awolowo, Baba Abraham Adesanya, Baba Herbert Ogunde, Baba Fasoranti, OBJ, Malcom X, Bob Marley and many other Philosophers whom their words still retorates in our present world, he was highly controversial. He was a pure Pan Africanist. I appreciate Dede and several others, including Femi who has not allowed his legacy to die.

I saw amazing full length documentary about Fela shown on Australian TV 2 years ago.

I better worship Fela than worshipping stupid Pastors, Fela is a Prophet.May your Soul Rest in peace ✌️.

A great Nigerian, I am very proud of what he stands for, justice for all. Not just for his Yoruba people, but for all the deprived people in Nigeria, disfranchises by the corrupt elites. Emulate him people...

We the younger generation love our ancestor Fela. We will never led him down 2020 is the year of awakening. Thanks Africa and thanks to all that gave their life for our existence.

I remember when I was in London. My ex-boyfriend friend play FELA’s music. I fell In LUV immediately. When I returned to NYC, I purchased all of his CD’s. Sadly, not much changed in Nigeria. I know , because I have a friend that live in Nigeria. Also, I watch and read the Nigerian news. The narrator forgot to mention FELA was influenced by African American music.

Fearless man... Your spirit lives on...

Thank you for this piece

Very good production and well narrated by my daughter Mumbi. It’s very chilling to hear that Obasanjo himself was in the compound when Fela’s mother was thrown out of a window. Long live the spirit of Fela Kuti!

Love live Fella Kuti!! Such an incredible talented great man. I have listened to his songs before, but first time hearing his life history!!

His music lives on indeed 2020...

I was growing up with this music in cameroun I'm France spiking but I was dancing all the time. Now all my friends and children love this still of music. I remember at our college we used to dance every time love fella Ramson Anikula Kuti amen

A good summary of a worthy African musician

Can you imagine and Obasanjo is still alive the good one always leave us

I see where Burna boy gets his lyrical inspiration.

Im from Jamaica this sounds like what Peter Tosh went through in Jamaica.

Nuff nuff raspect to Fela Kuti! The Brother was a TRUE revolutionary!!!

I was there @ Gbemisola street to give my last respect at his burial. Then my chambers was on the adjoining street , Ladipo kasumu str. MAY HIS WONDERFUL SPIRIT LIVE ON

*FELA NEVER DIE*...till today, he lives on, for his messages and songs was *PAN AFRICAN GOSPEL*

I really love fela,he lives on !

Fela was a great man

I grew up in the era of baba kuti. Many had different names for him. To sum him up (that's hard as he was a strange creature), he was a man with balls of steel.

Great man

I see the inspiration for Burna's Ye track

All what he says are still happening. ... God bless His soul...

True legend...so emotional watching this

A great man! The things he fought against are still plaguing our Society today! May his good works never be in vain.

Thank you

A legend, a great storyteller, poet, freedom fighter, may he RIP.

No one like him, fela baba 70 R.I.P.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Here we are many years later. Fela is still right.

Knowledge

Fela de prophet .. all he said has happened in our time

Great African liberators dont last. Fela the legend

Nothing turns me on more than when you ask an artist to explain something, you will hear some angles you have never taught about

crazy when some of the kenyan artists talk about the felas views on love songs and the same artists are very active on the love songs scene fela kuti is way beyond what has been captured here

There will never be none like Fela!!!

We suffer and SMILE

This is the real father and founder of Afrobeat and Afrobeat s

I can't really measure my love for Dela right now. Still reckoning with you in 2020. Rest on legend!

El Presidente Negro!! Fela Kuti mis respetos desde Cartagena,Colombia Sur America!

FELA was an enigma.

Love you father

What bravery #FelaKuti upheld and I admire his courage and the #afrobeat movement he created. I really appreciate learning the roots of #afrobeats and although the theme of this genre differs from its pioneer, give the artists time to discover new themes.✊🎼🎶🔊🌍jamaica #reggae #ukreggae #reprezentradio #bbcradio1x #bbcradio1 #afrobeatsuk #afroboss #rootsreggae #dubjamaica #miamidub #dubwise #lovereggae #lovedub #dubheaven

can someone see how Mbabiaku talk professional

He was unique. Today the music is mostly feel-good.

Obasanjo's a terrible man.

Africa music today is a shame

God BLESS MI and baba fela BABA 70 ti

You can fool the people some of the time. but you can not fool all the people all the time. the only problem in Nigeria it seems most of the people are being fooled. the hearts of Nigerians need too get back in touch with Fela Kuti message. Now You See The Light.

Fela Kuti is the greatest president Nigeria never had.

Rest In Power to Fela!

"Like Obasanjo and Abiola International tif tif" ahahahahaha What a courage Anikulapo

FEEL LIFE

Hardship we know but only come to make us stronger

Rest Poser Fela Kuti! Ashay!
