“I am not successful because I’m Fela’s son” – Seun Kuti

Controversial Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti has declared that being the son of the late Afrobeats icon Fela Anikulapo-Kuti had no effect on his career as a musician.

In a recent interview with actress Iyabo Ojo, he made this claim and mentioned that although his grandpa, Reverend Israel Ransome-Kuti, was also a musician, Fela’s musical accomplishments were never attributed to him.

Seun attributed his success in music to his intentional work and commitment, as did his elder brother Femi Kuti and nephew Made Kuti.

According to the controversial artiste, Made Kuti is the best among the musicians in the family, despite being the youngest of all of them.

He said;

“It is not because of our dad that we are successful in music. My brother, Femi Kuti is 60. I am 40. My nephew, Made Kuti is behind us now too, and he is in his 20s. And he is actually the best of all of us. That’s what it means; it continues to progress because we are really dedicated to it.

It’s not just because we are Fela’s children. I mean, nobody says Fela is a musician because his father was a musician. Nobody knows that Fela’s father was a musician. My grandfather was a musician. He recorded albums, he wrote a lot of hymns. My great grandfather was the first person in Nigeria to record a song. We came from a lineage of musicians.

We even have a brother that grew up in Australia that didn’t grow up with the family, he didn’t even know that he was a Kuti until his 50s, he’s not a musician but he is a creative art director. It’s what we are. We are creative people. So, when people say we are successful musicians because we are Fela’s children, they are just being half clever.”

When I went to University of Port Harcourt, my sister and I used to sell recharge cards, pure water and eggs around our side, because there was no closeby kiosk, where you could buy those things so we became the kiosk.

Honestly, I’m just happy that I went through it because it really shaped me and made me stronger.

I know what the hustle is, I have seen suffering. So coming out on the other side and being this person is like I understand both worlds.”

Muslim woman sparks debate after advising married women to stop financially supporting their polygamous husbands (video)

A Muslim woman’s Facebook post advising married women to cease providing financial assistance if their husbands choose to take a second wife has ignited a passionate debate among the community.

In her message, she urged women to discontinue their support, stating that if a man attempts to run while still in the crawling stage of financial stability, he should be allowed to do so.

However, the advice has not been well-received by Muslim men, who are now engaging in a discussion to explain why they believe the woman’s viewpoint is flawed.

They argued that women should continue to support their polygamous husbands financially.

The Facebook post has generated significant attention and diverse opinions within the Muslim community.

While some support the woman’s advice, agreeing that financial independence is essential for married women.

Others firmly believe that providing financial assistance to polygamous husbands is a duty and demonstrates commitment to the marriage.

The debate has sparked conversations about the idea of polygamous relationships and the expectations placed on women in such situations.

Supporters of the woman’s advice argue that it is crucial for women to assert their rights and ensure their financial well-being, regardless of their husband’s decision to take additional wives.

As the online discourse continues online, individuals from various backgrounds are sharing their experiences and contributing to the topic.

“She constantly beat my mother” – Emeka Ike’s brother, Victor speaks on his brother’s ex-wife

Victor Ike, brother of veteran Nigerian actor, Emeka Ike has confirmed his brother’s story about his ex-wife, adding that she used to beat up their mother.

ecall that in a recent interview, the actor disclosed that his former spouse had deceived people into believing he was an abusive partner.

She also sold all of his possessions and stopped him from getting in touch with his kids since then.

More details about the problem were revealed by his brother, who was fed up with the story Daniel Regha and other online users were spreading on social media.

Victor Ike stated that what Emeka revealed was accurate and that the ex-wife had previously connived with her mother to beat up their mother.

He claimed that Emeka Ike’s relationship with the rest of the family was ruined by her because he always supported her.

In his words;

“@DanielRegha & Co, Please don’t be judgmental when you don’t know their stories.
Emeka Ike is my blood brother, and everything he said @channelstv was 100% true. He didn’t even mention how she and her mother constantly beat my mum whenever she visits. He needs to see his kids

He has always loved and stood for her even when she lies against his own family. Most of us in the family are not in good communication with him just because of her, so it is false to claim that the man who disowned his family for her was a wife beater.Don’t hurt him with his kids”

“I will choose an old Caucasian woman over a 33-year-old Igbo lady” – Nigerian man says; gives reason

Nigerian man says

A Nigerian man, identified as Emediong Sunday, has revealed that he would rather choose an older white woman than a 33-year-old Igbo woman.

Emediong stated this while responding to the Facebook post of one Oyi Chidera, who threw jabs at Nigerian men who marry older Caucasian women but consider 33-year-old Nigerian ladies as too old.

See the post below,

In response, Emediong stated he would choose to marry the older white woman because she will take him out of poverty and love him genuinely without stress, as opposed to Nigerian women.

Read his full post below,

“I will choose this woman over a 33+ nwanyi Igbo. She will take me out of poverty. She will love me and not stress me.

She will have money and support me to adopt a child. I mean, she (this particular vvoman) still looks healthier and sexier than most young Gen Z girls in Nigeria.

When redpill guys like me preach about 33+ African/Blk vvomen, people’s shallow minds focus only on the numbers and forget the challenges and hardships that come with it.

If a YT VVoman who is 54+ comes with the trinity, I will not hesitate at all because her trinity always comes with femininity.

90 percent of young men who married a 55+ old YT VVOMAN are not complaining, but I can provide countless examples of a young African man who married a 33+ Nwanyi Igbo and Agbomma and is not living in peace.

If you have a 33+ vvomwn in your life WHICH you didn’t start with in her 20s

We will be here to read your sub stories . We can’t wait for you to come via “keep me anonymous”

Yours faithfully ( AVERAGE NIGERIAN GUY)”
