THE MAN FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI- A STORY WORTH CHECKING IT OUT- WRITES ADEYINKE MAKINDE

Adeyinka Makinde | Writer Wednesday, 2 August 2017 Remembering Fela Anikulapo Kuti - Revolutionary African Musician “Roar”. A portrait of Fela Anikulapo Kuti by Colombian-born artist Heriberto Cogollo Fela Kuti was a revolutionary African musician, the inventor of a genre which he called ‘Afro-Beat’ and the scourge of successive military dictatorships and civilian governments whose misrule of Nigeria has blighted the development of Africa’s most populated country. Fela was an iconoclast who challenged the powerful in society, a rebel whose bohemian lifestyle traversed the boundaries of socially prescribed behaviour as well as a social commentator whose lyrics, often suffused with coruscating barbs and comical vignettes, laid bare the daily tragedy of the lives of the suffering African proletariat. His death twenty years ago was mourned by millions ...

AGOO!

CALL FOR ATTENTION/PERMISSION Have you ever heard people say the word AGOO!  anywhere  near you and wondered what it meant before they explained it to you? AGOO is an Akan ( a language spoken in the West African country of Ghana) that means  many things depending on the context in which it is used. Meanings: 1. When used during any gathering of people- School, Church/Religious Center, Community Event, Meetings, Family Gathering/Reunion, it becomes a CALL FOR ATTENTION.  The Speaker is respectfully seeking your attention. 2. It is also used as a form of seeking permission to enter someone's home, office or any place that has a gate or a door.  For example, when visiting someone's home or office in Ghana, even if the door is opened and you can even see the person, you respectfully stand by where the door or gate is and KNOCK at the same time saying the word, AGOO expecting an answer from your host before you enter. In Gha...
