•My father had two friends in school and they always came last in the class
•He failed from form one to five
•When he left for England to study, his younger brother, Beko, told him to consider music instead of medicine because Fela was not brilliant
•He used to drive his mother’s car to Lagos without permission to attend music shows
•He was almost denied admission in music school because at 19, he was considered too old to learn
•He ate lots of cake and ice cream
•He told his grandchildren to always call him Fela instead of grandpa
•He beat any child that misbehaved
•He was not practical when taking decisions
•He got angry if I didn’t bring my son to his show
