Many of Fela’s band members became homeless after the devastating soldier attack on Fela’s commune (Kalakuta Republic) in 1977.

To understand very well the pictures above, let's first read an excerpt from Babachir Lawal's Interview in a national daily in 2020:
"Mr. Buhari and his supporters had no money to win an election except ideas, zeal, and fanaticism.
Tinubu, who had his tentacles spread across the corporate world, was the only man who knew where and how to raise the funds needed. He was the one that reached out to all the ‘big men’ who were at the time scared of the then President Goodluck Jonathan.
These were all rich men that depended on the government’s patronage. But somehow, Tinubu was able to persuade many of them to support Buhari with enormous funds & logistics.
