Late Fela Kuti's first grand child set to wed at her grand father's shrine.

 

Late Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s first grand child finds love in the heart of  an Australian author, Benedict Jacka. They will be getting married by June 27, 2015, at the New Afrikan Shrine, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos.

Rolari is the the daughter of late Afro musician, Yeni Kuti who married Femi Segun now deseased, Femi Segun was the son of famous writer, Mabel Segun.

Gist said, Rolari graduated from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, in 2010, while Benedict is a graduate of Philosophy from Cambridge University and has written a couple of books among which are the Alex Verus’ series including Fated, Cursed, Taken, Chosen and Hidden. He grew up in London where he has worked as a teacher, bouncer and a civil servant.

Recall, that Yeni regularly claimed on popular morning TV show, “Your View on TVC” that Rolari is a virgin, which got many mouths agape that in this age, a girl as pretty as Rolari could remain ‘untouched’ for so long. Benedict came to Nigeria with Rolari last December, to meet the Segun and Kuti families, and he was properly introduced to both families.

According to sources close to the family, the ceremony at the shrine is strictly by invitation while the white nuptials will hold in the United Kingom later in August
