Father of one Seun Kuti says he's not married because he doesn't believe in the institution and thinks that there should be a law that forces married people to stay together whether they want to or not until their kids are at least 18 years old. Who agrees with him?
The Kuti family have always been known for words of wisdom. Yes I quite agree with him. What is the essence of marriage if not for kids? They are 90% the reason .!!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with him 100%.
DeleteI rily don't blame u guys...so it's beta to cohabit n av kids, dan to make the union legal? I wonder wat the kid will call u guys wen he/she grows up....senseless pple
DeleteLots of marriage talks today sha.. Shebi this same guy be Atheist.. Hmm crazy boy!

Funny enough, i totally agree with what he said. People shouldn't bring babies into the world in the heat of their love and passion only to abandon them to emotional and psychological torture when they feel it is time to move on.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand,i am sorry for this sister who is a baby making machine for this dude who dosnt believe in marriage. Close ur legs sis and decide to live a meaningful life. My 5kobo.
Yea he is right but let me also add that it is good also to make it a law that anyone who gets his partner pregnant will marry her in order to provide security for the child. A child shld grow wt the knowledge of his parents being husband and wife and not just partners.
Delete@ Zinny., u made perfect sense
DeleteThe kind of legacy fela left for his kids tho all kutis just have issues in marriage maybe dere grew up in a troubled home cos if u grow up in a peaceful n joyful home up view will be different
ReplyDeleteBased on the rate of divorce, violent and abuse in marriage these days, one wouldn't dispute his claim that marriage is not a wonderful institution, more and more people are beginning to lose fate in marriage, I have a female friend who feels same way also, but I still believe in marriage to be wonderful institution

You don't believe in marriage? What do you believe in then...Adultery? 1 cor 6:19-20. BishopDammy#
ReplyDeleteAdultery may be 'sinful' and may be causing its own problems here and there(broken hearts, free diseases etc) but atleast he's not deceiving himself by marrying only to cheat on his wife. I like a man who can admit he's not ready to settle down to avoid bringing misery to his family and making his wife nag then blame her for it.
DeleteYeah!! He's Making Sense!! I Feel Am!!
ReplyDeleteMumu! Keep fornicating! Bearing children out of wedlock....which one is beta? Yours or divorce ofwhich its not every couple dat divorces. May God have mercy on u. B4 we know it imuo nke ibua. Tufia!
ReplyDeleteAnd how is it any business of yours? Your sore ass is bitter cos he won't get married to ur kind? By your kind I mean gold digging fame hunting fucked up senseless bimbos spending all ur time on Linda Ikeji rather than educating yourself and stop living a mediocre life like u already are. Get a life bitch
DeleteFYI oga you are married! you have a girlfriend who lives with you and who you have had a kid with and for whom you provide. you are married bro! Marriage is just a legal term you give what you are already practicing so shut up!
ReplyDeleteGbamest! And by d time u break up with your girlfriend "over every dumb little thing" isn't that divorce? and wouldn't your child or children be affected too? Talking rubbish seun kuti !!
DeletePlease educate yourself he's not married living with someone you are not married to is called cohabitating and living with someone you are married to is marriage. So stop confusing people they are 2 different things and not one and the same
Deleteon point nigga!!!!! divorce is not a good thing especially when kids re involved. they re the ones to feel the frustration. SAY NO TO DIVORCE!!!
ReplyDeleteI disagree wit him,is nt true
ReplyDeleteThen I think u need to have ur head re examined
DeleteYes I agree wit him! Before u divorce urself over every dumb lil tins, can u please think about the effect on ur child. The kids suffer divorce!
ReplyDeleteHe is making a solid point. I know people that recently got divorced, and I am thinking of what would happen to their kid. I am not family or anything to them, but I know the little kids well, and i feel a lot of pain for what they are going through, and what they will go through for many more years. It ain't good for on the kids.
ReplyDeleteI get where he is coming from. What I would say is people should stop jumping into marriage without fully understanding themselves or because they feel they are getting too old. Too many separations and divorces out there right now.
I don't think you can force people who don't want to be together again to stay together, but at least this can be curbed by prevention...'People, know how compatible you are with who you are getting married to. F Love...what's love got to do with it really?'
On his suggestion, if the parents can stay together till the kids reach at least like early teens, it would still do a lot of good for the kids. Kids really need complete parenting...a mother and a father.
Are You A One Minute Man?
Oh! I'm not surprised,whatever the snake gave birth to must be long.he's a product of his environment.
ReplyDeleteAnd coming to his assertion that people should be forced to stay together till their children turns 18,what of in a situation where the first child is like 10 and the second 1,and the there's a possibility that the parents may stay together waiting for the last child to turn 18,and the first child gets married and start raising his own children.
His proposition doesn't hold water.

ReplyDeleteFela believe in marriage that he married over ten ladies in one afternoon including mummy.
ReplyDeleteYea,he has a point
ReplyDeleteIf he is not interested he should keep it to himself
ReplyDeleteolodo hypocrite
ReplyDeleteStay in marriage till ur child is 18yrs, dnt be selfish. Well said Seun! U all lie sometimes reason 4 leaving ur marrige.
ReplyDeletei'm solidly behind him...

dats a good one..makes much more sense..dat way, there wld be a rethink before people divorce
ReplyDeletei'm solidly behind him on this...
ReplyDeletepeople please reason with this...

i'm solidly behind him on this...
ReplyDeletepeople please reason with this...

I totally concur with this. Homes are being broken selfishly by couples without minding the effect on their children. It should be a shame to all parents if their children can not take them as their role model.
ReplyDeletePARENTS SHUD ACTUALLY CONSIDER THEIR CHILDREN FIRST BFORE TINKING OF SEPARATION

ReplyDelete#word, I totally agree
ReplyDeleteSensible words from a sensiible man I agree
ReplyDeleteHe needs to grow up and quit talking trash
ReplyDeleteI agree wit hm. As a child frm a broken home i knw tht d ppl wu suffer frm divorce d most are d kids. They r d ones caught in d middle of the hate. Ur mum tels u ur dad s bad ur dad says d same abt ur mum no one admits being wrong. Ppl u shd stop jumping into marriage fr selfish reasons and jump out whn they dnt gt wht dey wnt
ReplyDeleteThe first sentence in his opinion should not have been there, it made a very remarkable comment worthless. The other part especially the legislation is so perfect and my God. it will make a whole lot of sense. people are so full of themselves and selfish that they could careless about the innocent new generation the brought into existence.marriage is honorable in all and the purpose of marriage is divine and God's idea.
ReplyDeleteI dont agree but please before you get married and bring a child into this world. Think about it very well, so you wont put an innocent being in unnecessary misery
ReplyDeleteI would agree with u on dat seun kuti. Children suffer from d selfish decisions dat dia parents make
ReplyDeleteYassss o. I'd ship this notion. Nuff said
ReplyDeleteYou don't believe in marriage buh you believe in making babys.I don't really blame him his mentality comes from his lineage it runs in their family blood, but at the same time I think he made some sense by saying the couple have to stay together till the child is 18+ if they want to divorce but then pple have their own strong reasons why they divorce tho am against divorce but in a situation of life and death you don't stay put in the marriage.if the lady or guy die because of the abuse of the partner what will happen to the child u are trying to take all for in the name of marriage.so most times when ppl leave is not all about Ego their is more to it.lovely pix
ReplyDeleteI agree with him.
ReplyDeleteDivorce has an effect on the children's mentality, so does marriage and lifestyle. ...
If we all have a father who was a doping misogynist head and had a sexual mysterious death,do u tink we all wud bliv in d marriage insitution?? That's a "kalakuta NO"..#cheEzyjajyne
ReplyDeleteI SOLIDLY DISAGREE WITH HIM. WHY REMAIN IN A LOVELESS OR UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
ReplyDeleteIT IS EQUALLY DAMAGING TO STAY IN A MARRIAGE BECAUSE OF KIDS WHEN YOU ARE NOT HAPPY, BEING ABUSED PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY ....WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU GIVING THE KIDS THEN?
IT IS BETTER TO BE SINGLE AND HAPPY AND RAISE A CHILD THAT WAY THEN TO STAY IN A LOVELESS OR ABUSIVE MARRIAGE.
ALTHOUGH I AGREE THAT PEOPLE SHOULD THINK TWICE...INFACT 100 TIMES BEFORE JUMPING IN AND OUT OF MARRIAGES THESES DAYS.
Yimu.... Strongly disagree!
ReplyDeleteAttention seeker is what he is.
* My R1.50c comment *
it might be controversial but i totally agree with him because here in U.S. all this kids raised by single parents most time turn out bad adults.
ReplyDeleteI agree
ReplyDeletei pity u but dnt blame u bcos of ur upbringing,u dnt bliiv in marriage nd u hv no experience of a happy nuclear family dt stayed till death do dem part so pls save ur opinion
ReplyDeleteSuen Kuti, I really don't know how stupid you can be. Kindly enlighten us on the difference between a child from divorced parents and a child from unmarried parents. They will both have major security issues!
ReplyDeleteYour own current situation does not provide any more security for your child than what you're criticizing.
Marriage is not easy! You don't even have the balls to do it yet you're criticizing people who have and perhaps failed. Just shut up already!

ReplyDeleteThis hemp smoking son of fela is making sense o see seun of dat day don grow up finish na wa o d young shall grow
ReplyDeleteI agree as long as the couples dont kill them selves before the kids get to 18.
ReplyDeleteyeah! cos that makes so much sense! Make the children live in a house with bad tension and parents that cant stand each other!...yeah makes perfect sense!
ReplyDeletesometimes....believe it or not, divorce is the better option.
Lol!!!! I love your sarcasm
Deleteits obvious he is so passionate and truely loves is daughter. i concur to seun's comment.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree wit him, and 4 once I thot that all the weed would have messed up his brains. Nice one seun
ReplyDeleteIs he saying after 18 they should or start jumping around? ######OTUoCHA
ReplyDeleteGood idea
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly! This coming from a man who doesn't believe in marriage? Methinks, based on this, he would honour the institution more than many who claim to believe in it.
ReplyDeleteHis brother has similar views too right? Funny, Fela married plenty, he overmarried sef, yet his sons are against it.
Too many ironies here.
Kimmy*****
Can this one get married?
ReplyDeleteI over agree. It's annoying when u see adults divorcing over their little selfish ways without thinking of d impact on d kids. Marriage is not about d 2 plp involved it's way beyound that. D only problem in that law will b more spouse death cos I know a lot of plp will rather kill or die than stay in a troubled marriage. But d truth is that most times they are blinded by d enemy of man. Satan will not let them see d truth untill d damage is done.
ReplyDeleteOga go marry no dey tell us story abeg. Doris
ReplyDeleteI totally understand that children go through a lot when parents decide to separate but you cannot "force" people to stay together when they can no longer tolerate themselves. How do you expect a couple to stay for 18years together when they cannot stand themselves for an extra day. Better they separate than force them to become murderers! Wish my brother had taken the "divorce route", his kids will still have a father, me a brother and maybe his wife..a friend! Its more traumatizing to loose a father than have one who only lives yards away!
ReplyDeleteI kinda agree wif him o jare... This whole divorce tin is gettin worse and the children are the ones who suffer the trauma and shame the most..... Buh finally,you can't force anyone to stay anywhere,it only makes matters worse #sighs#
ReplyDeleteThe baby mama is beautiful
ReplyDeleteChildren are more important than your ego. I like that last sentence.
ReplyDeleteTRUE TALK,WE NEED TO SWALLOW OUR EGO AND THINK OF OUR CHILDREN.
ReplyDeleteU no marry. U have the effrontery or audacity to advise married people wey hate each other wey wan kill themselves to stay together by force.
ReplyDeleteAbeg, Seun go get a life. You are not in a position to advise anyone. Face you relationship and make the most of it.
Hahahhahahahhahahabhahabbah you are so funny but u still hit the nail on the head
DeleteI concour
ReplyDeletei do
ReplyDeleteI so much agree with him on this. So many couples venture divorce cus of thr selfish reasons. Not minding wat becoms of thr kids. It troubles and destroys alot of dem. If u'v not bin thr, maybe you cant understand my point
ReplyDeleteWhen staying together could claim lives. Dead person cannot take care of a child o.. but sm1 else will. To pick race and run to spare life to those who cherish it is better
ReplyDeleteSo you that your child is growing up in a family where there is uncertainty of whether daddy will leave and impregnate someone else, is a better option??? Hissssss
ReplyDeleteabeg hold your saxophone there
Seun kuti is not married yet he have a child , means he can ditch the girl anytime so long he's not married. Not feeling what he's saying joor, abeg go rest. #how holy are thou#
ReplyDeleteSeun is a confused boy. He should stay with his baby Mama until the baby is 18 before he quit, then others may emulate him on that point.
ReplyDeleteI agree ooooooooo! The rate of divorce nowadays is just too much thereby causing a rise in d number of wayward kids around due to being raised by single parents who rilli dont care! One of d tinz d national conference shud have tackled so as to save us 4rm a future generation of emotional unstable beings! Everything goes 4 divorce dis days e.g. Not gud in bed, holiday, shouting.......... Everything goes!
ReplyDeleteBTW, marriage is a sacred nd nice institution Mr Seun i.e. IF ENTERED D RIGHT WAY!
#GozManuel Says#
You are not even in the right position to say that kind of thing. You already have a chid and you are not married, how are u different from those who are divorced and already have children. What are you teaching your child.

I Think i agree with him... people should try to put their children first before any lil' or big issue in their marriage...nice one bro!!!
ReplyDeleteit makes sense
ReplyDeleteI don't agree about putting a law in place, but personally this is what i have decided for my kids.Am married to a perpetual cheat and liar but i have decided to stay until their grown to understand and cope with the situation.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with him, even at 26 the tot still breaks me down talk more of someone under 18, he has made a solid point.....The psychological trauma is out of this world, the fact that you blame yourself as a child that perhaps its your fault is not something you wish on your worst enemy. And then the stigma that your suitors family is so perfect that they will think you are not right for their son if they find out your parents are divorced is excruciating.... I can go on and on but lemme stop here.
ReplyDeleteJust like his father, this guy sometimes makes twisted sense. I agree with him on this divorce rule.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to agree wit him. He believes in makn children out of wedlock. LIB Princess!
ReplyDeleteWell on this account I agree with him, cos basically it helps the kids if couples can stay together till the kids are mentally matured to handle negative situations.
ReplyDelete@Zinny a totally agree
ReplyDeleteThis is post of 2014. I give it all to seun kuti am proud of you.
ReplyDeleteLots of rubbish... He's not in the position to advice married people coz he doesn't even believe in it. People like diz faulter all d time.
ReplyDeleteSome people doesn't know the definition of marriage,is simply coming together of a man & a woman as husband & wife.Once there is a concensus adedem btw the two partys marriage exist.There should be a law that will mandate the couple to stay together for a specific period of year before divorce.I agree with him
ReplyDeleteFoolish & childish talk seun kuti....... U don't blive in marriage,but u blive in rasing a child outside wedlock! D child will still suffer,one way or d other! I must say am disappointed! But not suprised! As for u d girl dat agreed,I pity u! What will u tell d child when he grows up?
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect, Segun Kuti as a man who is not married, what gives you the audacity to give unwarranted advice!!! What is the difference between a couple who cannot bear each other, having a divorce and moving on with their lives, and you that is not married to your baby mama,just because you have a child with her does not guarantee that you wouldn't leave her in the future: or even impregnate another woman!!! Why don't you marry her, she is good enough for you to impregnate, but not good enough for you to marry smh!!! Fucking bastard, and I know that just because she has a child for you, doesn't mean you wouldn't cheat on her or leave her, fucking retard!!! Whizman

ReplyDeleteNigga is.contradicting himself. Mumu talk
ReplyDeleteIf you follow the precepts of marriage as espoused in the Bible,divorce is no biggie. Marriage is an institution ordained by God. "He who finds a wife f8nds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord" Bible says"Enjoy the WIFE of your youth; let her breast satisfy you at all times"
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend/baby mama is not a WIFE.
I agree with him 100% as long as it's not in a violent home that causes more harm than good .
ReplyDelete@Bishop Dammy's response is really a question
ReplyDeleteOya seun kuti
Answer the question
i agree! more power to your elbow SEUN...cheers
ReplyDeleteDou I agree buh run for ur life. bcos its better than Death, if one die wldnt d other take care of kids, if U are not happy in ur marriage dnt wait till ur child is 18, happy single is better than sorrowful marriage. blieve me u cant beat it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with him 100% even though i dont buy his opinion abt marriage as an institution.
ReplyDeleteI Completely AGREE!!! I have seen first hand what broken homes can do to someone and trust me it aint pretty! Some parents even use their kids as bait to get money or whatever it is they want, they drag them into this Ugliness and most times the psychological effect never goes away from those children. Please I beg all you married people out there, before u get a divorce over sth realy petty which most times they are... think about those cute little ones u brought into this world that depend on you, look up to u, imitate u and see u as their rock! Please be that rock n don't break! Don't even crack because u are responsible for how your kids turn out and above all think "What would Jesus do" Cos trust me there is no peace without him.... God bless u all
ReplyDeleteSeriously??So what happens when he find another girlfriend ?They all live happily together depending on when their "18 yr" time spree is up ba?. The fruit never really falls far from the tree.
ReplyDeleteHe is totally right!. iam in support of it. people mix things up a lot. if the marriage produced children then it is no longer just you & your spouse. It’s now three parties involved. just because the child can’t voice his/her opinion doesn’t make him/her less important. Self centered people just make decision without thinking about other parties involved. it is called a FAMILY not you yourself alone. Even when people change… you wait till the children get a say in the matter. So everyone knows why things are the way they are!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with him
ReplyDelete
