Seun, the last son of the Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has
been known to say it exactly the way he thinks it is. It is therefore
not surprising to hear him utter something a lot of Nigerians will
consider blasphemous.
In a recent interview,
when asked about the existence of God and what the Supreme Being means
to him the artiste refused to acknowledge his existence.
According to him, “I do not believe in God. I am not a believer
of anything supernatural. I don’t believe in God, Jesus Christ,
Mohammed, Ifa, Ogun, or whatever anybody uses as a reason to explain
simple actions of nature,” he said.
When asked about the use of illegal substances, Seun admitted to the use of marijuana saying, “Yes,
I do. But I don’t smoke cigarette… I don’t believe any human being has
the right to tell nature what to do. Nature believes in the usefulness
of marijuana. And I think mankind is pompous. You don’t say earthquake
or Tsunami is illegal. So, why should marijuana, an equally natural
thing, be illegal, even when earthquakes and Tsunami are killing people.”
What do you think about Seun Kuti’s belief, or more appropriately, unbelief?
