Police raid Kuti family "Shrine" club

Nigerian police late Saturday raided the New Shrine, nightclub
in Lagos...
(follows).















(Jamati/FireTongue)



Le Shrine avait été ouvert en 1978
à Lagos par Fela et avait fermé peu
de temps après sa mort.
Pendant une vingtaine d'années, ce
temple de l'AfroBeat a été l'un des
clubs les plus connus d'Afrique.
Le fils de Fela, Femi, a redonné vie
à ce club mythique en ouvrant le
New Shrine dans le même quartier,
en octobre 2000.
History repeats...

Here a "must see" at Femi's New Shrine...

destroyed today and many more people lost hope and income. Properties and artwork valued
provisionally at 30-40 million Naira was destroyed, unnecessarily.

Why ? Lucas Ajanaku, (Tell Magazine, Nigeria's independent weekly), explains :
"Tension mounts in the host communities of the proposed Lekki Free Trade Zone
over unfulfilled promised in the purported memorandum of understanding signed
with the Lagos State government"... (see more)
