Has Felas image since his death changed in Nigeria and Africa?
I think it’s stronger, and his enemies don’t want that to happen. People wanted him to die and have him be lambasted because he died of AIDS. They thought that would be the end so they could get on with their dirty, rotten business and continue pretending to the world that everything is okay. Even the CIA would be very happy. They played a very large roll in his death. How so? Fela Kuti It was the CIA that instructed Obasanjo in ’77 to burn his house down. That was the feedback that came to my father before the burning of the house. An American came and said, “Look, be very careful. The CIA is on your case and they are talking with your government to kill you.” That was the instructions, to get rid of him. He was a young man. He didn’t understand the gravity of the CIA. Like the CIA played a roll in the death of Lumumba. Even the U.N. played a major role in the death of Lumumba. The world does not know this, or the youth do not know the gravity and the influence of the CIA and the U.N.
