Funmilayo also campaigned hard for female political representation and access to education in Nigeria.
Her late son was Pan-African revolutionary African musician Fela Kuti, who many regard as the pioneer of Afrobeats.
He proudly recalled his mother leading marches against the British regime, and in particular the time she led a protest against the local colonial administration. There, Funmilayo was insulted by an arrogant, young, white official. But she put him in his place, denouncing him to his face as a “rude little rat” and a “bast**d.”
Fela said, “Imagine insulting the highest representative of the British imperial crown in Abeokuta, Oh man! I was proud. People in Abeokuta talked about nothing else but that incident.”
May she continue to rest in peace.

WAS MANDELA A SELL-OUT?
As South Africa almost clocks three decades since the fall of apartheid, millions of blacks continue wallowing in poverty. This has ignited debate on how the transition from apartheid was conducted. Some accuse the liberation movement leaders of selling out the struggle. Late African American political activist and former Nation of Islam member Dr. Khalid Muhammad once weighed in on this topic and didn't hold back. Was he being too harsh?

Africa is bigger than many people realize. But the way maps are drawn inflates the size of some countries, so places like the United States, Russia, Canada, and the whole European continent get massively inflated on traditional maps, whereas Africa appears smaller than its true size. When you draw countries to true scale, it’s amazing just how many you can fit into Africa.
