Femi Kuti Rallies Nigerians: “Stay and Fight for Our Nation’s Future!”

Femi Kuti urges Nigerian youth to stay and fight for the nation’s future, rejecting the mass “japa” exodus. Speaking at the 2024 Celebration Festival, Kuti emphasized the importance of resilience, comparing Nigeria’s struggles to Europe and America’s historical battles for freedom. He stressed that real progress comes from within, saying, “We built the Fela Shrine in Africa, not abroad. It’s time to get your senses together; this country depends on you.” Femi also noted that while his son, Made, holds British citizenship, he remains rooted in Nigeria, emphasizing the importance of staying to create change.
