The truth is that, though Ransome Kuti's are popular but Fela is who comes to mind when that name is mentioned locally or globally, while at the mentioning of Fela in Nigeria, there's always a great deal of resentment by the ruling class. The jealous of Fela by these cabals is beyond comprehension so they try all kind evil practices to stop anything that will popularize his name or what he represent all to no avail. In this circumstances, we must remember the burden on his children and families. However, my assumption will be for the fans to look into the deplorable state of the man they all claimed to love and respect especially the Afrobeat artist that has been enjoying the fruit of his labor to come together and put forward a rescuing concert for the Ransome Kuti family, in order to be able to rehabilitate this treasured monument.
Nigeria government? My advice for Fela family is to take up their grandfather properties and build it up, they should forget about federal government they are nonsense people
This is a disgrace to the Kuti grandchildren! Look at their sense of entitlement? So they think the Government owes them and so should renovate their family house? How many houses of famous men and women can the Government renovate. The nut fell far from the tree here!!!!!
This is a monument worth millions of dollars and someone is talking about 130million naira. Can`t they put some money together , then borrow the rest from the bank? The family should not let that building collapse or else they will never forgive themselves. It`s a spiritual home.
I keep wondering why such a well-to-do Family like the Kutiswill be waiting for Government to give their Family House a face-lift. It is either of two things here - lack of unity in the Family or not seeing it as a necessity. But it is a shame on all concerned.
Renovate it by professionals that will still keep the original structure if not sell with condition that the own keep the original structure and allow the place for visitors on 2 or 3 days weekly
This classic monument,I pray to God not to let me die b4 I visit Abaekuta Nigeria.Nigerian Federal Government stands accused for neglecting HISTORY.Why cant Seun and Femi renovate that Enormous Monument?We can contribute money.
In Europe, the building would have been maintained by the community. Lack of vision: Fela is a musical legend. They would have maintained it to the effect that it would draw visitors. Lack of vision of the leaders…. This is a show of shame.
If the government had sense they would turn that into a museum and the proceeds go to the maintaining of the house and to the poor as fela would have done
Please...........somebody do something about this house.What are the Igbos doing there? Can anyone just go into their own corner like that,as a stranger and his/her head will not miss. This is a defiance on the Egba indigenes
The problem being highlighted here is not the Igbos who are probably the reason why the building has not collapsed. It is also not the fault of the State Government. The truth is that the grand children of the owners of this building have failed to do their duty. State Governments cannot and should not be in the business of renovating private homes of people. Yes the Kutis were famous and patriotic and so were others. Should State Governments be running around renovating every famous family building in Nigeria? The Kuti grand children go and renovate grandpa's house asap!

Brilliant News pkg 7 years ago, TVC was cruising for glory and a contributive position in Nigerian (Broadcast News) journalism

you dont have point
@@adesanmitemidayo3013 Thanks for the reply!
Les green dont mind the family.Entitlement mindset is their biggest problem

May your soul rest in peace mama when they're both I will come and meet you also cos I think that you will never die
This building has been turned into a museum by the government of Ogun state

It clearly shows how lazy they have become. Or have their parents made any mistakes when raising them.

Just N10m will be enough to make it standard again . Please guys do something for your family's legacy
Fela was not the only funmilayo's child....this is a family property and is suppose to have a joint

The house has been renovated, I visited that house in 2019.
In Europe, the building would have been maintained by the community.

Rest in peace mama Africa
It should be made a shrine, instead of the shrine itself!
This Fela son must be ashamed of himself by saying its so much to maintain
Its very painful to hear him say such a stupid thing...he should have just declined the interview...what a shame
Long live Fela!!!!
Ogun State is blighted by mediocrity. It’s too close to Lagos to be so removed from it.
just lost all respect for Femi Kuti.didnt he collect royalties running into millions of dollars for sell of Fela Kuti music rights
Is that guy SAMUEL L. JACKSON?
Fela's mom looks like Buhari.

Lol, so it is the fault of the Igbo? No wahala blame the Igbo it is normal for your kind.
Shut up there, Why are you blaming the Igbos? Why can't the owners of the building renovate it?
Since the Igbos left the house has got much worse. As usual, the Yoruba would blame the Igbo in order to deflect the blame that is due to them.
Ok
when you have drug addicts as children this bound to happen
You are a fool
What re you women addict
