Fela's Eldest Child, Yeni Kuti, Engaged To Longtime Boyfriend At 55


At age 55, Yeni Kuti, the eldest child of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, is about to join the 'married women forum'.

As her long time fiancé, Theo Lawson, finally proposed marriage to her few days ago.
The romantic proposal took place when veteran journalist,Mallam Abdul Okwechime and Akin Ad­eoya, CEO, Prince of Anthony Hotel, organised a surprise 55th birthday party for her.

Yeni's cute daughter..
The event, which witnessed an impromptu performance by Yeni’s younger brother, Femi Kuti, on stage, started at 7pm with an emotional outburst from the cel­ebrant, upon walking into a hall filled with friends and family members waiting to sing her a happy birthday song.
The icing on the cake of the birthday party was when Lawson went on bended knees and in measured tones proposed marriage to Yeni.

Still dazed by the entire event, Yeni said: ''I am still in a shock.'' From us, congratulations aunty Yeni, we love you and we are so happy for you.
