Abule Egba stood still for Ogogo last night ❤️
A special tribute was held for him.
This man was loved. he lived through and through and taught us so many lessons.
People really loved Ogogo.
Rest well, legend 🕊️
We used to have this in Yorùbá Land. I didn't meet it but I read about it. There was a time when people would put their wares outside and buyers would take what they need, put the money there and go. It was even depicted in one of the old Alawiye textbooks.
If Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, AKA Sikiru Ololade Ayinde Balogun, had been born in this day and age of music streaming, I struggle to find an artiste that would have been his peer. The man was just too gifted. If he had existed in this aeon, he would have been the biggest Afrobeat star on the planet (Fuji would be considered Afrobeat by the rest of the world. Only Nigerians would understand the nuanced distinction between Afrobeat and Fuji).
Fela Kuti was a musical genius and deservedly got his flowers in life and in death. This isn't to undermine his legacy, but if, like Fela, Barrister had done more tracks in English and pidgin, he could have been as big globally as Mr Kuti.
Even at that, I will say that Fela is to Michael Jackson what Alhaji Agba was to Prince. For those who may find the above comparison too far off to comprehend, what I am saying is that Fela was like Professor Wole Soyinka, who got the Nobel Prize, but Sikiru Ayinde was like Achebe, not too far behind!
You cannot listen to Fuji Garbage Series 2 and not be captivated by this quotidian realm, taken to cloud nine by the beats from his gangan talking drums, even if you do not understand a word of Lukumi Yoruba. The man channelled mystic vibrations through his beat.
You could lose all your money in the stock market, and Barry Wonder would still be able to wipe away your sorrows with his beats and his baritone and sonorous voice.
I laugh when I hear today's youth attributing the origins of diss tracks to NWA or Tupac and Biggie.
Sikiru Ayinde was dishing out diss tracks in the seventies. Please fact-check me.
Before Tupac dissed the Notorious BIG over his wife, Faith Evans, Ayinde Barrister was dissing Kollington Ayinla over Salawa Abeni.
The man put so much effort and dedication into his craft that he helped Fuji music cross over to a Christian audience. We urgently need people like that in today's Nigeria.
And he was a hit stepper! What! The man could rock some powerful moves. He invented the Garbage dance step in the early to mid-eighties.
Like Prince, Barrister was the complete package: A singer, composer, arranger, instrumentalist, producer and dancer
For the joy you brought to my childhood, both here in Nigeria and in far-away California, may God bless your memory, Alhaji Agba, and the family you left behind!
I still love you and Fuji music to the moon and back.

“What I did not know, which came glaringly later, was……his propensity to corruption, his tendency to disloyalty, his inability to say and stick to the truth all the time, a propensity for poor judgement, his belief and reliance on marabouts, his lack of transparency, his trust in money to buy his way out of all issues and his readiness to sacrifice morality, integrity, propriety, truth, and national interest for self and selfish interest.” Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Atiku Abubakar in his book, “MY WATCH”.
VIDEO: Okin Biscuits Resumes Production After 17-Year Shutdown
Okin Biscuits has taken a major step towards returning to the Nigerian market, as biscuits rolled off one of its rehabilitated production lines at its factory in Offa, Kwara State, for the first time in 17 years.
The company on its official Facebook handle on Wednesday said the production line had to be rebuilt after its cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors and other electronic components were stolen.
The company also announced that while further testing, calibration and rehabilitation are still required before the familiar Okin taste and quality are restored, the milestone marks significant progress towards bringing the biscuits back to the market.

I am outraged by the abduction and killing of innocent citizens by criminal elements in the state.
Those who carried out this cowardly attack on defenceless Nigerians are enemies of peace and enemies of humanity, who will not go scot-free.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families of those who were killed in this barbaric assault and pray that Almighty God grant them eternal rest, and grant their loved ones the fortitude to bear this painful loss.
You are not alone. The entire nation shares your anguish. We will not rest until your sons, daughters, mothers and fathers are brought back safely to you.
3/3.
I have also directed the Service Chiefs to give me regular briefings on the progress of the rescue operation until all those abducted are accounted for.
Terror will not cow Nigeria. We will defend our people, protect our communities, and uphold the sanctity of human life.
My prayers are with the people of Niger State at this difficult time. The Federal Government stands firmly with the State Government and will provide all necessary support to aid recovery, relief, and security reinforcement.

Yoruba is music.
Music is Yoruba.
In Yorubaland we have music for every situation.
When we are happy, we sing; when we are mourning, we still sing.
We sing in warfare and victory.
We sing to celebrate and to taunt.
We sing through our proverbs and our drums.
We infuse it into all religions.
We sing in every situation.
We have several ORIGINAL genres of music; Apala, juju, fuji, waka, and now Yorupop.
It's not a coincidence that a lot of young superstars are springing up with Yoruba music.
Music is in our genes.
Music is in our DNA.
Every Yoruba child is born with music
