Finding the real me (v)

I was really pampered all through. Mum can be strict, but she is such a caring mother any child will crave to have.

“So young man, you’re now going to the university ehn?
“Yes mum I just can’t wait to be there”
“But I want you to give your heart to my words for they are all right for you”
“Ok mum. You have my ears, I replied”

“You see, university is not like a secondary school. I can tell you that it is more like a bigger city of students where you meet several kids from different background. I mean cultural and family background. Listen Tony. Mum often calls me Tony when she is ready to sound a heavy warning.
“I don’t want you to keep the wrong company. Go to classes, learn, attend church programs on campus and return to your hostel. And if there be need for you to visit your uncle whose quarter is not far from your hostel, then do so on time and return to your place. Do you understand?

“Yes mum”. I gleefully said without reservation. Of all mum said, I seem not to like the idea of she telling me about going to church. At least she knows already that I’m a Christian, even though I’m more attached to church activities than the teachings itself. Reiterating this often and often therefore causes me to think I am going wayward. I just pray for the set time I will leave mum’s roof and settle into my own apartment.

This has just been the prayer in my heart.

To be continued on (vi)

There are names in Nigeria Music industry we easily wouldn't remember today. And there are great men that have activated alot of things in the Nigerian music space that are not remembered today effectively the way they should. I was just wandering online for some stuff which will keep me busy yesterday when i came across one of the guitarist that played for former, juju musician, cum pastor, Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi. This musician i am writing about is no other person than Evang Olatunji Ajani, popularly known by his music peers then as Ajasco. Ajasco has not only played with Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi who today still plays too, though christian music now. He also traveled even as a yoruba man with Igbo Musician, Oliver De Coque to the far east back then to entertain the Ibos. He is never got tribalism in him. Before he was called to maximize the use of his 'Golden finger' (a nick given to him by one of his fans) in Christendom, this same talented guitarist was part ...
