French President Emmanuel Macron To Visit Fela Shrine

French leader Emmanuel Macron will on Tuesday visit a nightclub founded by Nigerian music legend Fela Kuti, becoming the first “real president” to enter a venue synonymous with marijuana smoke, sexy backup dancers and protest music.

The New Afrika Shrine located in the teeming Lagos district of Ikeja replaced Fela Kuti’s original club that burnt down in 1977, but for millions of fans it still represents the original Shrine built by the musical maverick.

GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Macron knows Lagos better than some of us. He did his attachment/youth service at the Embassy of France in Abuja in 2004 after he graduated from the prestigious "Ecole Nationale d'Administration, Paris. Fela's children have made France their second home. Femi and Seun are well known and appreciated in France, better than anywhere in Europe.

Niyeck: Thanks for the insight. It's nice to have someone of big reputation visit Lagos. I visited Fela Shrine sometime ago but the pictures I took isn't clear enough to post. I'm still contemplating of going back there to shoot a documentary
