I can still remember his exhilarating tunes especially Higher Higher Higher.

Legendary, ingenuous.

RIP, Williams

RIP to him...


Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced that he would buy monkeys for N100 each. The villagers seeing that there were so many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at N100 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. He further announced that he would now buy at N200. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to N250 but the supply of monkeys became so little that it took much effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at N500! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf.

In the absence of the man, his assistant told the villagers: ''Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that my OGA has bought from you, I will sell them to you at N350 and when my OGA returns from the city, you can sell it to him at N500''.

The villagers squeezed out all their HARD EARNED savings and bought all the monkeys. The most greedy ones among them even sold their lands to purchase many MONKEYS, hoping to make a huge profit without labor.

Then...

They never saw the man or his assistant. Only monkeys everywhere!

Welcome to #MMM.

RIP to the Legend...

But

Why do ENUGU people brag a lot...


That's not a brag mate. He lived in a "palace" with indoor swimming pool built in the 80s.

Until his death he had been a regular visitor to my office. We had a meeting with him first week of this year, the follow up meeting yet to hold. Very interesting man, has a new music yet to be released which he told us will be done in the United States though he did not state when.

A musician, religious man and business man.

Died in the Pent house of his house on the early hours of Monday 16th January, 2017.

May his soul rest in peace.

Don't bring sentiments into this.
When you see his home, you'll understand why it's called a palace.

He was a good instrumentalist, good with synthesizers.

He was a genius.
His compositions should be in a National Music Museum.

i was truly surprised, the guy has being making good futuristic techno/ house sounding music since the 1970s.

and he is really good, was reading the guys biography and rock groups with included a member of the popular beastie boys had a world tour covering his songs only since the guy stubbornly refused to perform live.

You were blessed to have met him in person. He was truly a visionary, a musical and film genius, an entrepreneur, a trail-blazer and a lover of God. I can't even believe the things this guy did back then. Wao!
