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...

Bad news from Lagos

Well-known Art Market of Maiyegun (Lekki, Lagos) to find it bulldozed without warning
by forces of the Lagos State Government. According to eye witnesses several persons
received gunshots, one died.
The market, home for about 120 artists from the African Pride of Art & Crafts, was completely
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)
