That Fuji Superstar, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall has paid his due in the world of music is no news. Many times over, he has proved to be a great Lagosian, expanding the horizons of the city beyond our wildest imagination. While many know him as a workaholic, quite a few know him as a man who loves to enjoy his hard earned wealth. Want to know his view about living the dream, we present below the sight and sound of this icon, truly enjoying himself and giving reasons for doing so in his own words:
"Honestly we need to discuss this, why people uses the word "OLOWO LOMA KUURE." Since I was a young man in my 20s, many things people just seeing me doing today I have been doing, like traveling abroad on FIRST CLASS or PRIORITY CLASS. One thing I never liked in my life is, why I should have to wait until some class of people get out of an aircraft that took all of us to the same destinations. They would say "OLOWO LOMA KUURE."
When we used to travel those days in the past to places like London, Rome, Italy, France & Madrid in Spain, very serious people studying HARD went to Germany or USSR Soviet Union then but now Russia... Hmmmmm Oju ti n la sii. AMERICA is ORUN Kalo-Kabo..
Gone were the days my people...
I remember vividly one of my Holiday Trips to London England. I was to stay in my friend's house then on Queensbridge Road London S.E, the Late Gabisiyu Alani Aderemi, may God forgive his soul. UK Immigration followed me to his house that evening to know whose Address I was trying to describe for them. That evening I felt proud when Alani came out with his wife then, my darling sister Hadja Basirat Abimbola Dada to say they were my hosts on that trip. Why because, how come a man flying on First Class could not properly describe where he was going? Honestly "OLOWO LOMA KUURE."
But the truth of it is that, many have that money but either refused to spend it for reasons best known to them or just out of "STINGINESS"
Emii ole wa so owo ntemi ooo...
Baa nawo kope kowo o tan
Bako baa nawo, kope kowo maa tan
Bibeli iwe Mimo tii soro "Asiwere N ko orojo, lai komo eniti yio maaa..
King of World Beat ( King Sunny Ade ) has said it in one of his beautiful songs & it goes thus:
"OLOWO A JOGUN OWO, A JOGUN IYI, ATUN DI GBAJUMO LODE, ASIRI WON ONI TU." In conclusion my people, pls spend ur money well and remember you will not go to heaven with a kobo out of it.
Lastly "Maa jaiye oni o, mio meyin ola o,
Maa jaiye oni o, mio meyin ola o."
Have a good evening aboard Lufthansa Airlines flight from New York via Frankfurt to Lagos Nigeria. AIYE SI NLO NONI."
You have heard from the horses' mouth. Need we say more?
