It’s D-Day. All roads in Nigeria leads to Radisson Blu in GRA Ikeja, Lagos, where Sikiru Ayinde Barrister’s Colloquium will premiere today.
The event will commence by 10 am. GoldMyne TV will report live from the venue.
Fuji music icon and Mayegun of Yorubaland, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, aka K1 De Ultimate, convened the colloquium to honour the late legend. There are plans to make it an annual tradition, we understand.
Sikiru Ololade Ayinde Balogun, MFR, was a Nigerian-born Yoruba singer-songwriter, song producer and musical performer who blazed the fuji and wéré music trail in the country.
The legendary icon, role model and national hero had his first break into music in 1965 and went on to release over 70 studio albums.
For the first time since he passed on December 16, 2010, one of Ayinde Barrister’s musical sons, K1 De Ultimate, is convening a colloquium in honour of the late Barrister.
The event will feature lectures, tributes, and musical concerts from prominent Nigerians.
Dr Muiz Banire, Professor Jelili Ojuade and other notable Nigerians are slated to address the historic gathering.
