I pray that Mr. Pele has found tremendous success well before then In sha allah, but when I move back to Nigeria in a few years I will offer him full employment. I will reach out to him now to see what little I can do for him. These guys is why I could tolerate living in the US for over 30 years, their music keeps me going.
Somorin is my name. I have been in contact with Mr. Tajudeen now thanks to your show. I actually met him back in 1986 when they had a show at Premier Hotel in Ibadan just before I left for the USA.
Good to see the respected Mr. Tajudeen Pele. He came across very clear and sharp - very well spoken. May God bless you and the rest of Sir Sikiru Ayinde Barrister band members.
Good to hear, this should be a lesson to all. barrister walk its way up. nobody should be a moron. If u work with a person , or u av your own work. The message is be SMART
I love this baba Pele, so smart, intelligent and articulate...Lojo tawa Tajudeen mi pele la Atlanta tao ri Tajudeen o, opelope body pass tomu dani...Pls where is Tunde Balinga, Aderoju onilu mi. Sleep on Alhaji Agba, Nigerian can never forget you.
I am so impressed with this interview. Please let us meet the other band boys of Barusati. Barry lives forever in our hearts. I am looking out for Aderoju
This is not for only Fuji Bo's this is everyone nitoripe ile aye ti awayi asan ni iun ansa ni ofo ni iun ofo oro olorun sope erupe ni Iwo -Iwo yio padadi erupe very good interviews thank all more blessing love you all
Though i just watched this interview today, I don't see this interview in the view of the interviewer having hidden plans. About two months ago, I listened to the narratives of a band member of an high life musician recounting the experience he had as a band boy; he never had anything then. He said majority of them were not living responsible lives. He retreated like this man and then went to university. Today, he is very much happy and also thanked God on the programme that he left when he left. What i am trying to say is that there are many lessons to learn there. From this man's narratives, a lot of people will learn and examine when to take good decisions in their lives.
It would only be fair if you let us know the outcome of your further research on this by interviewing many other band members of great musicians of that era if this payment was or wasn’t the industry standard back then. The respected Pa. Tajudeen Pele is so sharp with the way he answered most of the questions because judging by the way he was asked by the interviewer, it would have been easier for him to paint Alhaji SAB black. Kudos to Baba Pele with the way he handled this interview. By the way, even most white collar jobs professionals earned average of about #300 per month top around 1990’s and despite these band members not working full time, the average salary according to this man was around #220 and some even up to #500 per month which was perfectly ok as at then, now imagine if this man was actually referring to 80’s which were the years he was actively involved according to him; so it wasn’t a bad wage by all standards as at then. And which employer wouldn’t hold their employees’ passports if they travelled out unless the employer is into trafficking or leaving loopholes for workers to abscond? And I just respect this man more with the way he answered why the passports were not given to them whenever they were in Nigeria because it’s totally correct that they would have used the passports for “arrangee” (for those that know what that means back then before the advent of biometrics passport, lols). This man earned more respect from me now than ever before with his handling of the situation. He even substantiated his points with his reference to that his admirer “Iya Jelili” that first told him there was no chance of receiving financial help when he lost his wife and dad, so, he understands things the way they were, rather than the way many of us are viewing it now. And it also clearly shows in his expressions that he enjoyed all the trips outside the country; a rare situation many people would have sacrificed anything for back then. I’m sure he looks back at his time and never regrets his time with Alhaji SAB.
May Allah grant SAB Al Janah Ameen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 may Allah be with Alhaji Pele and the rest of SAB'S backup singers and instructmentalist Ameen 🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾. It's very easy to get lost in ATL airport even for a well travelled individual that airport is ginomous, a mother with infants should never travel through that airport alone because one can die of exhaustion. Even people should be weary of travelling through the airport Because it's like times 5 of London Heathrow from immigration to exit.
It kind of sounds like the interviewer have an agenda to defame Barrister. I don't understand why he wants to know if Barrister built a house or bought him a land. The guy was happy for the way he took care of his kids to the best of his abilities while he was with Barrister. Not sure if Barrister was the best person to work for or not but I don't think he could build houses or buy cars for his then band members.
The lesson in the interview is not to be carried away by simple fame your employer give you,you simply need to plan your own life,Barrister may have his own fault but the man is to be blame,their engagement does not have a define pattern,they simply work and forget themselves,.The band leaders then cannot possibly take care of their members due to large families they keep
On my own there was time when Barrister bought cars n share to his band member even I heard it in one Wasiu ayinde live when he sang that ( Nigba kan ayinde sikiru o ra motor lorisirisi o pin fun a won imo eyin re leyin ija awom at i Ajala she Babatude o nilu e to tin lo Peugeot 504 n igba ija won Pelu sala laigbade lafeso ni Abi igba ti awa nan gbonju eye to onlo j etta to I se wipe te Ba no play onikalu ku won gbe moto won wa ni nigba yen every 25 Dec 80/90 Abi she a won yen n.ya moto lo ni eni to ogun Idile ban Baja nan ti ko Dr aseyori Oga e nan lodaran eberų Olorun oo
Let them go and interview Aderoju and others that spent more years with SAB. An adage says { Isebo n’isoogun bi ase waye feeri laari}. The fact that u work with a billionaire doesn’t make u anything. There’s something behind this interview. Why is it only Tajudeen Pele?
I'll hold passports too if Im taking bands to abroad,reason?I will be the person to blame if they run Away,So I have no problems if anyone can run without his passport.
If antibodies judge barrister in bad way, God ll destroy home and away of that person . sikiru was paid big money by that time 1980 the man was collected #250 naira and Ayanshola kamoru was collecting # 500 naira, from 1980 to 1993 our highest money is #20naira , wat are we saying now about Mr Fuji . baba nfi owo she faji ni oooo, pls pls pls don't never blame Mr fuji
What i want everybody to understand this man left sikiru Ayinde band since 1997 20 years ago.so sikiru Ayinde is not is problem,he may need help theres away he can put it to the public but the interviewer is amateur just putting words into the gentleman mouth .
+atanda ZUBBY @atandazubby, many thanks to you for the comment. The motive behind the interview was obviously to make the man share his experience while with the late Fuji exponent, perhaps to enable the young musical band members of this era learn from it, and prepare for a life after parties.
Barrister was simply an heartless man, period.. May Allah forgives him.. this kind of episode can only happen in a 3rd world shithole country like naija...
Na wa ooo It amazing, if somebody can pay round trip for band boys like 15-20 employees, how possible is the part that Alhaji cannot avoid a dime to help for his parent burial. Even that parts tells me that they are not free to relate or address him on their needs A lot of lessons here from the employer who many people see as saint and employee that served him for 23 yrs with nothing to show for it
+azeezoou @azeezoou, the purpose of the interview was obviously to give the man the platform to express his experience with the late Fuji maestro. Thanks for your comment sir.
heritage TV yes!but I see foul play in this interview.Anyway!Every band boy has something to say about their leader.It doesn’t make Barrister as a bad leader
@@shock101sleeky2 God bless you brother that doesn’t make Barrister a bad leader. Every band members and leaders definitely must have kind of differences. Even husband and wife that celebrate 30 years wedding anniversary must have differences don’t think that relating or working doesn’t guarantee you wealth. Only God make one wealthy
What's the motive behind this interview? This interview is so stupid. These musicians were not making that much money back then. The little they make gotta be distributed among about 30 band boys, managers, packers, etc. And they don't go to show everyday or every weekend. As we heard, they blank out for months before they get a show sometimes. People automatically assume band boys of a popular fuji musicians should be living large, no they don't make that much. If you go to Kollington band boys, it's gonna be the same story. The lucky musician that's making good money now is Kwam1. Yet, some of his boys will still have a complain or 2 too.
They were fairly paid at the time. N110 for two is about N220 a month. Some graduates salary then for a month was N250. It is not everyone that can manage his / her financial affairs well. While some with the same income will build house, it may not be the priority of others. You can not because of that, blame it on the employer. This why some employers this days arrange arrange cooperative, employment benefits management schemes for their employees.
But remember then transport fare to Ibadan from Lagos was 300 naira, so the payment was so bad. And however, @ Dipo Salaam, you dont need to insult anyone on public forum like this because the man was doing his job and also you have right to your opinion but not to insult or abuse anyone.
Dipo Salaam You are right and even to me, Mr Pele should be grateful. He is also a star, he is popular in America Special album and he had also travelled around the world 🌍 with the Legend. I love Mr. FUJI and no any comments after his death can reduce my love for him.
Aiye asan oga ooo despite all years u spent with him,despite all ur travelling experience u couldn't achieve anything Oga o....an adage says aye tesin oje iru die aje..i believe that
Unfortunately, this interview came after Barrister had left the scene - died. There are so many missing links. When was he being paid the money he mentioned here? As at 1980 and beyond, Grade Two teachers and High School graduates earned about N90 a month. Moreover, at a point in time, band boys were part timers who went for rehearsals after their daily job or weekends. Anyway, only Barrister could justify his behavior. But for balance, this TV station should look for some other band boys of Barrister for interviews. I know Barrister lived large, but did what he did then compensatory? Was it the standard in the industry? Was Uncle Pele just reckless with money, because it’s not unusual for band boys to go on drinking spree and womanizing? We need to know more. This interview puts question marks on the character of the late Fuji legend. Again, I urge this TV station to reach out to other members of the Barrister group for clarification or confirmation. On passport, Barrister did the right thing, an escape by any of his band boys might cost him other trips, that is, might be denied visa consequently. He’s not a human trafficker. He was into genuine business and not an “arranger”, otherwise, he would have got Pele’s visa by all means when he was denied one in 1997.
It would only be fair if you let us know the outcome of your further research on this. The respected Pa. Tajudeen Pele is so sharp with the way he answered most of the questions because judging by the way he was asked by the interviewer, it would have been easier for him to paint Alhaji SAB black. Kudos to Baba Pele with the way he handled this interview. By the way, most white collar jobs professionals earn about #300 per month top around 1990’s and despite these band members not working full time, the average salary according to this man was around #220 and some up to #500 per month which was perfectly ok as at then. And which employer wouldn’t hold their employees’ passports if they travelled out unless the employer is into trafficking or leaving loopholes for workers to abscond? And I just respect this man more with the way he answered why the passports were not given to them whenever they were in Nigeria because it’s totally correct that they would have used the passports for “arrangee” (for those that know what that means back then before the advent of biometrics passport, lols). This man earned more respect from me now than ever before with his handling of the situation.
First of all, the interviewer is dumb. If he actually does not have any intention of casting Barrister in bad light, then he is not only amateur but also dumb. There is no point nudging the gentleman to disclose most of the information he talked about; they serve absolutely no purpose. But not every listener is as dumb. The man may not have built house or bought car but we all understand music back then is not what it is today. These pple , Barrister inclusive have more popularity than wealth. U think Barrister was rich enough to build house or buy car for each band member? Go to all the superstar in the last decades (KSA, Obey,Kollington, Salawa, Obesere) and tell me how many of them built houses for their members He also talked about holding his passport, any reasonable person that take u to oversea for a purpose will hold ur passport otherwise u will flee. Only makes sense. I’m not here to claim that Barrister took the best care of members of his band cause I wasn’t part of . However, this interview does not conclusively show that he did not take care of them. The gentleman definitely is not so happy with some of the events, but he shows maturity in his account; the interviewer immaturity was on wide display
You certainly don't want your passport is you choose to run away. With your passport they have a place to deport you to. No passport no proof of citizenship.
this people are saying rubbish on there travel to london and america coming back home to 9ja this people got money pele taju is talking rubbish i leave in fadeyi with barry boys like basiru ajani.and adeniyi fatai pele tajudeen you did save money that is why
But you don't talk the truth about your life time you have almost 5 wife's even after play you don't go straight to house from another one woman house to the other,and pele as lucky even all barrister fans dash him money if you cry enter barrister house you will laugh go house
You are absolutely right, after this interview Barister fans both home and abroad requested for his acc no we gibe them his acc no, he got million of niata and mismanage it again.
I pray that Mr. Pele has found tremendous success well before then In sha allah, but when I move back to Nigeria in a few years I will offer him full employment. I will reach out to him now to see what little I can do for him.

i'm really sorry for you sir but you don't need your passport before run away
Jojo Bambino God bless you, the level of loyalty back then was second to none... try it with nowadays men...
You certainly don't want your passport is you choose to run away. With your passport they have a place to deport you to. No passport no proof of citizenship.
