'Felabration' Opens in Lagos

The annual festival to commemorate the life and times of Nigerian musical icon, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, opened on Wednesday with schools debate at Freedom Park, Lagos.

'Felabration' is an annual music festival conceived in 1998 by Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti in memory and celebration of her father Fela, also a human rights activist known for pioneering the afrobeat genre of music.

Newsmen report that students from no fewer than 10 public and private secondary schools across Lagos participated in the debate, with the theme, “African History; a curriculum necessity.” According to Yeni, the debate was to encourage intellectualism among young minds.

The participating schools include King’s College, Cayley College, Apata Memorial Secondary School, Ogudu Secondary School, and Epe Girls Senior Secondary School. Others are Bowen College, Oke Odo Senior Secondary School, and Bethlam College, all based in Lagos.
