The 59-year-old singer said that a lot of people continue to bury their loved ones at the popular Ikoyi cemetery. According to him, Lagos has been in existence for about 60 years and people die almost every day.

Femi submitted that the cemetery is not exactly an expansive mass of land that should be able to contain so many bodies.

He was quoted to have said:

"When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It is the most hygienic way. Have you all thought about Ikoyi cemetery, this Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die, if they don’t die today, they will die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full and if you check it, it is not like it’s 1 million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there.”
