Afrobeat star, Femi Kuti, has said he would not like to be buried whenever death comes for him.
Speaking during a performance at the New Afrika Shrine, in Lagos, on Sunday, the 59-year-old ace musician said he preferred to be cremated.
Femi also said he would prefer a quiet funeral ceremony attended only by close associates and family members.
“When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It’s the most hygienic way,” he said.
Femi’s choice could be as a result of what he imagined could be happening to corpses in the cemeteries that never seem to have enough despite its limited space.

He said: “Have you thought about Ikoyi cemetery? This Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die. If they don’t die today, they die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full.
“And if you check it, it’s not like it’s one million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there.”
Femi, scion of the late legendary Afrobeat maestro, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has adequately filled the void left by his father’s exit and carved out a niche for himself, collecting several local and international awards in the process
