Popular singer, Portable has come out to say that Fela Kuti would have lived longer if he minded his business. He recently had his say while speaking on the newest episode of the Echoo Room podcast, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Fela decided to fight against the government for the masses till his death, and despite all that sacrifice, Nigerians are still hungry.
Portable added that the people should learn to fight for themselves and not wait for any Messiah.
His words, “If Fela had minded his business a bit, he would have lived longer, but he was fighting the government. After God na government, even our parents who fought the same government were hungry, and till now we’re still hungry.
Nigerians should fight for themselves. If you fight for Nigerians and they catch you, you will suffer and nobody will support you in Nigeria. Why are you fighting for Nigeria? Fight for yourself; Nigeria is okay.
When you are okay, your family will be okay, just feed your family and your neighbours. Things are hard but feed the people you are meant to feed. I, for instance, cannot ignore my wife and family and come and take care of you.”
WOW.
