Kalakuta Diaries is a personal Narrative of events and characters
that propelled and defined an African Social-political setting in
the heart of Lagos Nigeria. Kalakuta was a creation of an Iconic
rare-breed par excellence, whose enduring legacies has left an
indelible Footprint in the sands of Africa and the Worlds political
times and consciousness. This narrative apart from the well known
battles against the establishment, is also an attempt to emphasise
the roles played by the different characters that shaped the
actions and policies of a Die-hard Pan-Africanist, who had an
uncanny ability to read and predict exactly, outcomes of diverse
political and economic actions of the ruling Elite' years ahead of
most of his fellow countrymen. He dared the high and the mighty,
the military governments and their western collaborators. He sang
his way through the hearts of European and American cities using
his music as a weapon in the demand for fairness, equity and love
and the unity not only for the Black in his home country Nigeria,
but the whole of Africa. That he had like every other human being,
his shortcomings or weakness especially with the opposite sex is
normal and also depicted in this narrative. Suffice to say his
dreams, wishes and aspirations for the African continent and blacks
all over the Diaspora. Interestingly as the reader would find out,
the more potent enemies he had were within his own rank and file.
From kids who carried grudges on behalf of their mother, through
women who desperately wanted to have kids from him, staffs who
secretly aided drug dealers knowing full well that he abhorred the
use of such, up to relatives, staffs and friends who betrayed his
trust. The intention of the writer having being schooled by the
great one himself on issues of truthfulness, sincerity fearlessness
and political foresight is to depict Kalakuta as it really was,
without comas, bias, hard feelings or colouration.
