Having watched different galas at the state houses in Lagos and Abuja and in other venues with any Nigerian leader for years, one person quickly comes to mind in entertainment. He is Sir Victor Uwaifo, the Joromi crooner. I was surprised when, in the tradition of bring an "old school" crooner, I saw Bongos Ikwue. I asked myself why Victor Uwaifo didn't. Over the years he has proven with his dexterity on his guitar than he is the choice of both the old and young. He once boasted that he had played for all Nigerian leaders from Tafawa-Balewa and Azikiwe to date in the state house. It is in history that he is the first African to win a gold disc. He was so popular with his guitar across Africa that a coup d'état in Ghana was coded "Operation Guitar Boy" because of the sounds of the guns used.

He is not qualified. He is not from Niger republic.
