“Have you all 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 will die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full and if you check it, it is not like it’s one million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there,” Kuti said in a report by Goldmynetv.
