If you don't know, please ask somebody. Fela is a musical icon. HIs album "Suffering and Smiling" taught us about standing up and fighting for our rights. In the song "Jeun Ko Ku" he sang about about corruption and greedy officials which he predicted are the cancer that will eventually kill the hope and aspirations of our youth and the potential of our country. "Zombie" taught us to ask questions and seek understanding and not just be followers. When Europeans called us godless animals because we bow down and worship engraved images, he pointed out that even the pope and the great catholic church bow down and worship carved images in their churches.
Today the Europeans tell us it is wrong for a man to have two women but it is good for a man to marry another man. Think about that. Fela Anikulapo Kuti was not a perfect man but he was a man of integrity and was proud to be a Nigerian. God bless us all.

So back to the question .// 

why did Fela marry  27 wives    ?   I would imagine the answer was lost in the long story  if there was any
I may have to reread to get that

That expose was quite brilliant - its like energy wasted because the mental set of our folks have changed little or taking time to metamophosize if  the people can still consistently vote for guys who don't do them no good senators getting bribe , robbers in political position like Alamese being pardoned.   

Its painful  .
