Veteran singer, Late Fatai Rolling Dollar made one
final confession to his wife before he passed away.
According to the said wife, Zainab Olagunju, the
singer asked her for forgiveness because he knew
he had offended her. She revealed that he asked
for forgiveness because he married another wife
after her and he had previously denied it.
She says;
“On the day that he died, June 12, I got to the
hospital and saw them passing a drip into his
body. The last thing he told me was that he had
offended me and my conscience. When I asked
what he meant by that, his voice faded out
completely,” she said “I feel he wanted to confess
to me that he had married another wife because
he never told me about it before his death.
I used to ask him about it, but he always denied
it. I feel he wanted to tell me about Sherifatu
Olagunju, his last wife. “When I found out, I was
not angry. As a human being, if you hear that
your husband is not faithful, you would be
pained. I used to see her with my husband but I
did not know there was anything between them.
He always denied it but when we were burying
him in Ikorodu and Sherifatu saw how everything
was, she calmed down and accepted me as her
senior.
I also took her as my junior. Three days after the
burial of my husband, she came to live with me
and we didn’t fight. We see ourselves more as
sisters.”
Zainab gave birth to two children for Fatai,
namely Jamiu and Mojeed. The couple was
married in 1999 and lived together in Mushin –
Lagos before they eventually moved to Agege.

Some men are so dangerously cunning ... Thank God for her maturity in accepting the other wife in

Ijele-igbo:
...his voice faded out completely,” she said “I feel he wanted to confess to me that...

She 'feel' but not sure. He might want to tell her he loved her or about the money hidden somewhere or whatever...

Whatever Fatai Rolling Dollar said, we will not know because he carried it to his grave.

Let stop assuming.
