Afrobeat musician and saxophonist, Femi Kuti, has requested that he should be cremated when he dies.
The musician, during a performance at the New Afrika shrine on Sunday, said cremation is the most hygienic way for him because no one is sure of what happens at cemeteries.
Citing an example, Femi said the Ikoyi Cemetery has been in existence for decades and it receives daily corpses without being full and that, to him, is mysterious.
He also noted that his burial ceremony be attended by close friends and families.
Kuti said, “When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It’s the most hygienic way.
“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… ”
