Nigerian afro musician Femi Anikulapo Kuti embarked on a journey down the lanes of memory to recall how he disobeyed his father’s advice to marry because he was in love.
According to him he got married at a young age which his father was against but he did not see any wrong in his quest to settle down.
He also disclosed how his father Fela played an important role in molding him to make good music. He said his father taught him how to play different instruments and write good songs.
He disclosed this in an interview which he said; I never believed in marriage. I loved my wife, and got carried away. I am happy about the experience. We got married for a number of reasons.
My father had told me not to get married but I didn’t listen. Now we are great friends, but probably if we had not gotten married, we probably would have still been together.
When you get married, if it breaks up, you get into a very bitter street, that makes it is very difficult for people to make up afterwards. Everything goes bitter around you, and hatred comes in. And when hatred comes, you find that many couples can no longer stand each other” Femi said.
There is a saying that ‘had I known always come last’.
