Yeni Kuti Reflects on 27 Years Since Fela’s Passing

Yeni Kuti, the eldest daughter of the late pioneer of Afrobeat, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, commemorated the 27th anniversary of her father’s death by sharing a heartfelt message. She posted a collage of images showcasing her father’s injuries sustained during his relentless pursuit of a better society in Nigeria. These pictures depicted the numerous beatings he endured over the years, eventually leading to his untimely demise 27 years ago.

In her post’s caption, Yeni expressed a hope that her father’s struggles and suffering would not have been in vain. She also urged individuals in positions of authority to listen to the voices of the populace, emphasizing that the people should be the focal point of governance.

It’s worth noting that last year, Yeni paid tribute to Fela on the 26th anniversary of his passing.
