Did You Know Fela Anikulapo Kuti Was A Cake Lover

My love for the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti is out of this world, no thanks to my dad that allowed me play those big black discs while in secondary school. This is my first post for almost a year and my debut article as a father, yes I'm Daddy Chibuzor now alhamdulilah, and it could not have been a better way to get back to posting that celebrating Abami Eda.

Enough about myself for now and more about the man of the moment. In all my years of loving Fela, I never knew we shared more features than wanting to express ourselves as I recently discovered that the great singer and human rights advocate was an ardent cake lover. 

In addition to his love for cakes, Fela was extremely expressive and would use his musical talent to talk about topical issues. From Army Arrangement to Water No Get Enemy and Authority Stealing, every piece was not only a hit back to back but contained thought-provoking lyrics. 

Fela remains the only artist has been able to uniquely combine entertainment with messages that touched the hearts of listeners. 

Sometimes I wonder if Fela would survived in the modern day Nigeria considering how worse things have gone.
