A few years ago, researchers reported the discovery of some underwater plants that they believe have been alive for thousands of years. The plants are of the species Posidonia oceanica, a type of seagrass that covers the Mediterranean seabed between spain and Cyprus.
If plants can leave to that amazing age, what about humans? Some scientists who study aging are optimistic about the prospect of an extended life span. Developments are still ongoing without any impact yet though.
Heir to the Afrobeat icon, and international music star, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti has attributed his success to his tutelage under his father, the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti; first as a trainee, and later as a member of his band. He told The Nation that his father was his first critic, adding that when he played his first composition to his father, he asked how people could dance to it. The singer reminisced, “Fela asked, ‘So how do you want people to dance to this?’ I only thought of the melody when I composed the song, but on speaking to him, I realised that it was important for Africans to be able to dance to the song.”
