In an exclusive interview, Oge Aneke opened up about the challenges she faced as a woman who could not conceive another child soon after her first one. She said she faced pressure from society, especially from fellow women who kept telling her to do something about her situation or risk losing her husband to another woman.

 

“Some women even asked me if I had several abortions or if I had offended any god, not knowing that my husband actually met me a virgin. They scared me that all men are the same and that my husband will kick me out and get another woman as soon as possible if I don’t do something. Could you imagine that? It was very frustrating and depressing,” she said.

 

Oge Aneke also revealed that she was lucky to have a supportive husband who stood by her throughout the ordeal. She said he was her number one fan and encourager, who always reassured her that God would do it at his own time.

 

“I remember a time a particular person kept calling me, telling me he was a pastor and threatening me that he saw a vision that my marriage was going to be over unless I came to their church for special prayers. Meanwhile, my husband was beside me that day and I put it on speaker. My husband handled him and scared him off. he made several attempt at different times, but my husband handled them till they no longer called as they probably got scared they might be apprehended. Their aim was to take advantage of our situation and scam me and my husband,” she narrated.

 

Oge Aneke said she was grateful to God for blessing her with lovely twins. She said she was happy to be a mother of three and thanked her fans for their prayers and support.

 

She also advised women who are in similar situations to be patient and trust God, and not to allow anyone to pressure them or make them feel less of a woman.

 

“The society needs to be easy on women. There is pressure from everywhere, especially from fellow women who should be our sisters and friends. Infact, most women who are unable to have another child immediately after their first child are often given the same unfair treatment as women who have not been able to have a child at all. Some women have lost their marriages because they could not give birth to another child quickly. Some husbands’ families will bring another wife in for the man to give him children. This is not right and it is very painful,” she said.

 

She urged women to support each other and celebrate each other’s successes, rather than tear each other down or mock each other’s pains.

 

“God has a plan for everyone and he does things in his own time. We should not compare ourselves with others or feel bad because someone else has what we don’t have yet. We should be happy for them and pray for our own miracle too. God is faithful and he will never forsake us,” she concluded.

This article aims to take fans and the general public down memory lane, tracing the origins of Fuji music, its key figures, and the leadership that has shaped its evolution.

By Alhaji Arems

The Beginnings of Fuji Music :

Fuji music emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, primarily within the Yoruba community of Nigeria. It was an evolution of the were music—a traditional Islamic music genre played during the Ramadan season. Fuji music blended elements of were, apala, and juju music to create a distinctive sound characterized by its energetic percussion, vibrant rhythms, and engaging call-and-response vocals.

 

The Pioneer : Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister

The genesis of Fuji music is closely tied to the name Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, widely regarded as the creator and undisputed leader of Fuji music. Born on February 9, 1948, Barrister’s innovative approach transformed were music into Fuji, infusing it with modern instrumentation and dynamic stage performances. His impact on Fuji music was profound, as he popularized the genre both within Nigeria and internationally, earning a loyal fanbase that spans generations.

 

Leadership in Fuji Music: Past and Present :

Following the death of Barrister in 2010, the mantle of leadership within Fuji music has often been a topic of discussion. Alhaji Kollington Ayinla, another prominent figure in the Fuji music scene, is widely acknowledged as the current leader. Kollington, known for his unique style and powerful lyrics, played a significant role in shaping Fuji music alongside Barrister. His contributions to the genre are invaluable, and it is essential to recognize his position and influence within the Fuji community.

 

Correcting Misconceptions And Honoring Legacy :

In recent times, there has been a growing trend among younger Fuji artists and fans—often referred to as the “Indomie Generation”—to overlook the contributions of foundational figures like Kollington Ayinla. Some have even begun to lay claims to titles and positions that rightfully belong to the pioneers of Fuji music. This publication seeks to correct these misconceptions and ensure that due credit is given where it is deserved.

 

Kollington Ayinla, as the rightful heir to the leadership of Fuji music, deserves respect and recognition. While it is important to acknowledge the contributions of emerging artists, it should never come at the expense of those who paved the way for Fuji music to flourish. The legacy of pioneers like Barrister and Kollington must be preserved and celebrated, not overshadowed by contemporary claims.

 

Enlightening The New Generation :

It is imperative for the younger generation to be educated about the history and origins of Fuji music. Understanding the genre’s roots, the sacrifices and innovations of its pioneers, and the cultural significance it holds will foster a greater appreciation and respect for Fuji music. This knowledge will ensure that the legacy of Fuji music remains intact and that its leadership is rightfully honored.

 

Fuji music is more than just a genre; it is a cultural treasure that embodies the spirit and resilience of the Nigerian people. By acknowledging and celebrating the pioneers who created and shaped Fuji music, we preserve its rich history and ensure that future generations understand and respect its origins. As we look to the future of Fuji music, let us remember the words of Barrister and Kollington, who through their artistry, have left an indelible mark on the world of music.
