*My father had two friends in school and they always came last in the class
*He failed from form one to five *When he left for England to study, his younger brother, Beko, told him to consider music instead of medicine because Fela was not brilliant *He used to drive his mother's car to Lagos without permission to attend music shows *He was almost denied admission in music school because at 19, he was considered too old to learn *He ate lots of cake and ice cream *He told his grandchildren to always call him Fela instead of grandpa *He beat any child that misbehaved *He was not practical when taking decisions *He got angry if we didn't turn up at shows.
