The Afrika Shrine is located in the heart of Lagos district of Ikeja, it replaced Fela Kuti’s original club that burnt down in 1977, but for millions of fans it still represents the original Shrine built by the social activist.

That day will feature concerts, fashion shows by leading African designers and a meeting with stars from Nigeria’s booming Nollywood film industry. The French President Macron, is visiting the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott to attend an African Union summit on Sunday, will go to Abuja for talks with President Muhammadu Buhari on security and terrorism, before coming to Lagos.
