When I die, please cremate me – Femi Kuti

Afrobeats legend, Femi Kuti has asked to he cremated when he dies. He described it as the most hygienic way.

He said this when he performed at the new Afrika Shrine on Sunday. The 59-year-old who said he wanted just family and close friends at his burial further wondered how the Lagos cemetery is not filled up yet following the number of deaths ever since it’s inception.

“When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It’s the most hygienic way.”

“Have you 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 die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full.

“And if you check it, it’s not like it’s one million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there,” Kuti said.
