“When I die, please, burn my body” — Femi Kuti
Veteran singer Femi Anikulapo Kuti has revealed the reason why he would want his body to be cremated.
According to the 59-year-old musician, he wouldn’t like a big burial ceremony but a simple ceremony and would prefer his body to be cremated.
The sensational musician and the grandchild of political campaigner Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti had stated on Saturday during his performance at the New Africa Shrine.
“When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It is the most hygienic way.
“Have you all thought about Ikoyi cemetery, this Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die.
“If they don’t die today, they will die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full and if you check it, it is not like it’s one million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there,” Femi Kuti pleaded.
