This is the Nigerian controversial music maestro who founded the Afro Music —a rare blend of jazz and pop musical genres. He also broke a record in Saxophone.

His criticism of sociopolitical figures and trends of his time especially the military junta of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida is unprecedented.

It's for this positive features of standing up for society against the power that be, that stood him out both locally and globally  and for which Nigeria and indeed African music lovers will always miss him.
