HEADIES HALL OF FAME

Special recognition for excellence and outstanding impact to the entertainment industry.

Femi Kuti

My grandmum would have rejected her face on new N5000 note – Seun Kuti

"I do not have the power to stop the FG from printing the note but I would want the FG to remove my grandma's face from the so-called note, 

It was through the radio that we got to know that her face would be used...we were not officially contacted.

If I had N40b I will rebuild the federal government primary and secondary school, rather than waste it on printing N5000 note. That note cannot solve Nigeria's problems, the government should learn to invest in people.... the Kuti is more concerned about the development of the country not the naira. If I were the FG  I would establish more schools, Improve on the educational system rather than come up with N5000 note idea."
