Veteran Fuji musician, Wasiu Pasuma Wonder fondly called Oganla has opened up on some of the travails he experienced before stardom.
The acclaimed Fuji maestro made this revelation during a recent instagram live with Nigerian rapper and media personality, Bouqui.
In his words: “The obstacles I faced can make you decide to quit. People tagged me a tout, they said it’s the street urchins hat comes to my shows. People said miscreants are the people you would meet when you attend Pasuma’s show. I decided not to do Fuji any more. However, because God wants to use me, I changed my mind. I decided not to stop.
“There was a time they had a fight in one of my shows and I was locked up for two months. Someone was killed at my show and I was the one performing. They took us to the Police station. Unfortunately the brother of the deceased was a lawyer and he vowed to take the case far. I told him his brother came to the show and they started fighting, unfortunately he lost his life in the process. The brother of the deceased told me to supply the people who killed his brother. I was locked up for what I knew nothing about all because I decided to do Fuji music. I didn’t stop doing Fuji music despite what I went through”.
Pasuma also said his visa application was rejected on countless occasions before he finally travelled to the UK
“1999 was my first time to travel abroad in London. I actually went to the embassy in 1996 and 1997 and I was denied. In 1998, my promoter had to take the case to the court and he won. During the interview, the interviewer told me they would give only me the visa and leave out my band boys, saying even Micheal Jackson performs alone”.
