How did you meet Fela?

I used to take food to an uncle of mine known as Gabriel Okpaku who had a recording studio. I would take the food to him there. One day, when I got to the studio, he locked me in the dark room and walked away, leaving me with Fela who was visiting him at the time. I had sex with Fela that day. Later, Fela said he wouldn’t like me to live in the same house as his boys in the Mosalashi area.

He took me to his first wife, Remi, who was Femi’s mother. The first day I saw her, I was shocked because she was very light and her hair was as long as that of a white woman. Fela left me in her care and asked her to take care of me. I told her everything about myself and she said that if I should take her word and be like a daughter to her, there would not be any problem

OUR DECISION TO PROMOTE OLOKUN FESTIVAL- OTUNBA GANI ADAMS

WELCOME ADDRESS BY OTUNBA (DR) GANI ADAMS, THE CHIEF PROMOTER, OLOKUN FESTIVAL FOUNDATION AT THE GRAND FINALE OF 2015 OLOKUN FESTIVAL HELD ON THURSDAY 22^ND  OCTOBER, 2015 AT  SUNTAN BEACH, SEME-BADAGRY EXPRESSWAY, BADAGRY, LAGOS.

Protocol

Permit me to begin this address as tradition demands of us as Yoruba people to give due respect and acknowledgement at all occasions and at all times. The reason for this is the belief that those who fails to pay due respect to those they met must necessarily forfeit being welcomed. In order of acknowledgement, none deserve being respected and worshipped first and foremost than OLODUMARE, the omnipotent, omnipresence, our creator and everlasting God. Following OLODUMARE, we acknowledge the over two hundred gods and goddess (Okanlelugba Irunmole) appointed by HIM to administer the entire universe.
