Cremate me when I die — Femi Kuti

Nigerian musician and Afrobeat singer, Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti, popularly known as Femi Kuti, has given reasons for wanting to be cremated when he dies.

Daily Independent reports that the eldest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti revealed this while speaking at the New Africa Shrine during a performance, expressing that cremation is the most hygiene way to bury a person.

He said, “When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It is the most hygienic way. Have you all thought about lkoyi cemetery, this Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die, if they don’t die today, they will die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full and if you check it, it is not like it’s 1 million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there.”
