My family started the Anglican church. I don’t go to church, na juju I dey do – Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti, has asserted that his family was instrumental in establishing the Anglican Church in Nigeria.

His great-grandfather, Josiah Ransome-Kuti, and grandfather, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, served as Anglican ministers during colonial Nigeria. Despite his family’s contribution to the spread of Christianity in Nigeria, Seun Kuti mentioned that he does not adhere to the religion.

He boldly declared that he is a “juju” worshipper.

Speaking in the latest episode of the Spill With Phyna podcast, Kuti urged other Africans to return to African traditional religions. He said, “It was my family that started Anglican side of Christianity in this country, if you look back at it. We are among the pioneers. So, we’ve been there, we’ve done that and we’ve moved on. And we hope Africans can follow suit.
