“I remember I went to Fela’s house in Nigeria. Myself and a friend who was managing me, his name is Sunny, a very good friend of Fela and it happened that he took me to Nigeria.
“We went to Fela’s club so the next day he took me to the house and it is this weed that I am talking about, you know Fela had this thing they called Fela goro. So as Fela saw me, he took one and gave me one” Pat Thomas recounted.
