This Bitch of a Life

Fela Anikulakpo kuti lived a very turbulent life, he was always arrested and hassled by the police and military, especially on that faithful day when his house was raided by solders,his wives raped, his house burnt and his mother thrown out a window.

Reading his biography opened me to his mind, his beliefs and way of life. Fela was an enigma whose life was spent in service to his fellow man, his residence was always open to any and everyone. His shrine,an abode to many.

However not many know that fela grew into a young man who neither womanized or smoked at least till he met SANDRA.

I would hate to tell you everything in the book and take out all the fun, I would employ you though to buy a copy and while you read it, listen to fela's songs.

If you are an advocate or activist,it may multiply the passion in you.
