France’s Macron made an unprecedented visit to Fela’s New Afrikan shrine. President Macron’s unprecedented visit to the shrine represents some sort of turning point for Fela’s headquarters. Macron, by virtue of his office as the leader of the country which colonized most of North, West and Central Africa, while also repressing most of Africa’s culture, replacing them with French culture and language in an ideological policy infamously known as Assimilation, may not have been welcomed at the New Afrikan shrine if Fela was alive.
