An icon remembered more outside of his country than in it - such is the fate of African heroes as inexplicable interests insist on erasing their names from history. Jay-Z, Will Smith, and Jada Pinket-Smith produced a musical about Fela, the popular Nigerian musician who passed away over a decade ago. The musical was staged on Broadway in NY City and London. It now goes to Lagos.

I think that's amazing that Broadway chose to do a musical on Fela. I wonder if it will be as popular in Nigeria (Lagos) as it was on broadway, and also the Nigerian reactions to it.
