What a peaceful neighborhood we have, one day I was coming back from school along Atinuke Olabanji street, I saw people running from no where to end of the street, what is happening? Oh they come to raid Kalakuta. yes, Kalakuta is the extension in front of the resident of the MAN called FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI, the police has come to pick him again,
Fela was a very peaceful man right there at Atinuke Olabanji street we have Fela,s resident and opposite the house is Kalakuta republic. One day a running water pipe got bust and there was a leakage, FELA came out that evening, he ordered that the pipe be fixed, you know what Fela’s Kalakuta republic, be came the public water supply, all the kids in the neighborhood come there to collect water. and it was like that for a long time.
