Why Fela Kuti Married 27 Women In One Day | Fab.ng

Seun Kuti, the son of the late Afrobeats pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has shared the reasons behind his father’s decision to marry 27 women. These women included his backup singers and dancers, all in one day.

In 1978, Fela Anikulapo Kuti made headlines worldwide by marrying 27 women in a single day. The act was seen as extremely bold and unconventional. This group marriage was not just a spectacle but had deeper motivations behind it.

Seun Kuti explained that Fela’s female dancers and band members were frequently subjected to harsh media scrutiny and were often labelled as prostitutes. This negative portrayal deeply concerned Fela, who has always challenged societal norms and media propaganda. To counter these damaging accusations and preserve the honour and dignity of these women, Fela decided to marry all 27 of them at once.

Seun elaborated that this act was Fela’s way of showing solidarity with his band members and dancers.

It affirmed their importance and value in his life and work. By marrying them, Fela aimed to protect them from societal stigma and ensure they were respected.

In a recent interview on the “Fresh Off The Boat” podcast via Skype, Seun shared these insights. He highlighted his father’s commitment to challenging societal norms and defending the people close to him. This act of marrying 27 women was another example of Fela’s rebellious spirit and desire to stand up against injustice and societal prejudice.

“My father was under immense media propaganda. He was very scrutinised. And most of it were directed to the women that were in his life—his female backup singers, dancers.”

“They all lived together with my dad, but the media started calling them prostitutes. So my dad, in order to preserve their honour and dignity, asked them if they would choose to be his brides, so nobody would call them names anymore, and they all agreed. That was how the marriage happened.”

Tiwa Savage On An Actor She Would Like To Work With | Fab.ng

Tiwa Savage, a multi-talented musician and actress, recently revealed a surprising preference when it comes to her acting career. In a CNN interview, Savage, the star of the Prime Video original “Water and Garri,” playfully admitted a desire for attractive co-stars.

When asked about dream collaborators, Tiwa Savage joked that a hefty paycheck might make an unappealing kissing scene more bearable, but her ideal scenario would involve a co-star she finds attractive. This lighthearted condition didn’t prevent her from discussing her acting future. Savage went on to reveal that she hadn’t yet thought of any specific actors she’d love to work with, leaving the door open for future collaborations.

“Anyone that’s hot. You never want to have a kissing scene with someone that’s not hot. That’s horrible, because it’s not just once, it’s over and over again. So if the person is not hot, I don’t know,” she said.

“The cheque has to be big for me to be convincing. But yeah as long as the person is hot and has good breath.”

This interview comes right after the big success of Tiwa Savage’s new movie “Water and Garri“. The movie came out on Prime Video on May 10, 2024 and quickly became a hit, reaching the top 10 in 14 countries! This includes places all over Africa like Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon, as well as other countries like Ukraine and South Africa.

The movie itself is about Savage’s character, Aisha. Aisha is a fashion designer who used to live in the United States. After a family member passes away, she goes back to her hometown. But when she gets there, she’s shocked. The place she remembers isn’t the same anymore. It’s become a place filled with tension and violence. You can watch the trailer here.

UK-Born Actor, Wale Ojo Says The Japa Mentality Of Nigerians Is Embarrassing

Wale Ojo says japa mentality of Nigerians is embarrassing | fab.ng

Actor Wale Ojo is concerned by the trend of Nigerians, like skilled doctors, leaving the country for better prospects abroad. Ojo himself spent a significant amount of time living outside Nigeria, but his love for his homeland never wavered.

His vision is for a future where Nigerians won’t feel pressured to emigrate in search of a better life. He believes a strong and prosperous Nigeria can provide its citizens with fulfilling careers and a sense of belonging. This will keep them from feeling the need to “japa,” a slang term for leaving the country.

“I have a lot of aspirations. Over the years it would have been extremely easy for me not to come to Nigeria at all. I could easily have stayed in the United States, or United Kingdom, or Germany or even Russia. And I know I would have been okay doing what I do there. But I love Nigeria, and I will always love Nigeria no matter what,” he said.

Wale Ojo strongly disapproves of the “japa” trend. He believes it’s a shame that so many Nigerians feel they have to leave their home country to succeed.

“And I have a lot of visions for Nigeria. And that vision is one that encompasses a country where everybody doesn’t want to ‘japa’. The ‘japa’ mentality I think is embarrassing. I think it’s unfortunate, you know where doctors think they go and do their stuff elsewhere and whereas when I go to the United States or go anywhere, Nigerians are applauded for their ingenuity,” the actor explained.

Wale Ojo acknowledges that Nigeria has its problems, but that doesn’t discourage him. Instead, he emphasises that he wants to be part of the solution. He wants to contribute to making his dream of a better Nigeria a reality.

“When you will come home there are many problems, I want to be a part of the solution; I don’t want to be talking about the problem I want to be a part of the solution. I put a lot of things in place to bear the solution if the government wants to engage with the creative industry they need to come and talk to people like us because we have a vision for the country; we don’t do ‘follow-follow.”
