"That Place Should Have Been Used For A Hospital" - Femi Kuti Condemns Akwa Ibom Stadium
Number one Afrobeat personality and socio-political crusader, Femi Kuti, has condemned the 30,000 seater Akwa Ibom stadium built by Governor Godswill Akpabio as a waste of state resources.
The Four times Grammy Award nominee stated that a well equipped National hospital would have served collective good instead of the sporting edifice.
Femi made the statement at the Femi Kuti Live in Abuja Concert held last week Saturday.
Before turning up the heat at the BMO event arena, River Plate Park, Wuse 2, venue of the concert that also featured M.I. and Burna Boy, Femi Kuti said, "if they had built the most beautiful, unique and equipped hospital in the whole world there(Akwa Ibom), where we would be working 24 hours and go to when we are sick. Does that not make sense to you," the legendary musician asked the audience.
He reiterated that if such hospital is built, the government should make it mandatory for every government official to use hospitals in Nigeria when sick rather than traveling abroad.

The Afrobeat Legend baring his mind on the security situation in the country said should Boko Haram overun the country, rather than run to neighboring country, he would stay with is family and defend the Africa Shrine in Lagos. He noted that the worse place to live is a refugee camp.
Hear him,"Refugee camp is like frying pan to fire. Just stay in the frying pan jeje. So I advice you if Nigeria turns the other way round, stay o, because me i am not going anywhere."
