I was born into an Orisa dynasty (idol worship) my grandmother was a celebrated Orisa exponent and I was my grandmoms favourite. She took me along to ilagemo for the Orisa convention annually where we Sang, Danced, and worshipped the Orisa among many participants from our home town and nearby villages. I grew up watching her passion for worship but to the unknown God.
Her Mother, Gbensola Atunke, (alias Iya olorin) was a constant voice on Radio Kwara till late
80’s. A contemporary of Iyaladuke. One of her hit songs “O d’oke Gogoro” became famous among many Waka and Fuji singers.
I grew up watching her explore her gift and passion for humanity, music and culture.
Mother left her in Ibadan on her way to Seeking promotion for her music in Lagos. Ibadan became a land of her growth!
She hawked on the street of Ibadan for her brothers wife a couple of years with daily awful experiences of domestic abuse and sexual harassment on the street.
Christ Found her in 1987 and I got a call into ministry 1989.
Joy of salvation, Person of the Holy Spirit became a part of my life..Gave me a ray of hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Her Church People Her Pastor called her proud for wanting to sing more than for Church Choir Shut her down the revival platform where the youth invited her to sing, I cried as I walked away like a lost child!
Her Music People
Her mentor said “I can’t excel with my music since I don’t like to look for clout”
A Colleague and friend said to her Hey Girl, Forget this thing you don’t know how to sing My band members wanted to take the band ownership when we began to get recognition
There is a thin line between gratitude and pressure, if you are pressed on every side you may loose your Praise I almost lost my praise. Pressures from home to church to music colleagues and all was too much a burden than the demand of ministry
