I pray I never have to live outside Nigeria –Yeni Kuti - Punch Newspapers
GODFREY GEORGEI am grateful to the Creator for life and for health. I am also grateful for my children and grandchildren who are here to celebrate with me. I value family and see it as a gift. So, I am grateful I am part of a family that loves me and that’s one thing to be grateful for. My partner was also there for me, and that’s such a beautiful thing.You know I am old now . I remember going swimming at Onike Swimming Pool with my father, Fela. I love to swim so much.
I tell people that the Creator doesn’t put what you cannot handle on your table. You enter the role that you are born to enter. He gives you only the things you can cope with. So, I don’t see it as a huge task per se; I see it as a duty, why I am put on this earth. I handle anything life gives to me with all that the Creator has embedded in me.Never! I pray I never ever have to, for any reason. My daughter lives in England with her husband, so I always go there to visit them.
Growing up, your dad was arrested and put in prison by the government of the day. Did that have an impact on you and on how you viewed the country?
