“My first clash with “law and order” people was on 30 April 1974. I can’t forget that, man! Oh, what bastards! That day I was in my house giving interview to someone. Talking ’bout the scandals and corruption of the Gowon regime. About how people were being whipped in the streets by soldiers, man. Yeah, soldiers hitting your nyash with whips, man! Now, where else in the world does that happen? In South Africa? Not even. So, while I was heavy into this interview-o, fifty motherfucking policeman just walked in. F-i-f-t-y, I’m telling you man!” – Fela Anikulapo Kuti from Fela: This Bitch of a Life by Carlos Moore
