ADIEU AYINDE, FUJI CREATOR & PROPHET (9th Feb. 1948 – 15th Dec. 2010)

Barry Wonder, yours was a life well spent, from grass to grace, from nothing to something, you diligently carved out your name into the heart of many Nigerians and Fuji music lovers worldwide.

What I personally admire in you is your humbleness and sense of appreciation towards God and people, especially your greatest adviser / mentor in person of Chief Ebenezer Fabiyi (aka Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey) who according to you believed so much in you and encouraged you to leave the army to face music squarely. At your success you never undermine Obey as you were always thankful for his kindness and assistances.

What Obey was to you was what you were to some Fuji musicians who later tried unsuccessfully to undermine your authority in the field of Fuji. I loved the way you handled the matter, no matter what anyone can say your achievements stand clear, YOU ARE THE GREATEST.

Your music shaped me in so many ways and I will always be grateful to you, I love you but God love you best, good night Alhaji Agba, rest in perfect peace.

May Allah accept him and pardon his misdeeds.

He reminds me of my dad, Song"Sikiru baba Sikira". I love this song because my father's name is Sikiru. May you both souls rest in perfect peace. I love you father and I miss you.

Hello Sikira

juman:

May Allah accept him and pardon his misdeeds.

ina lilahi wa ina ilahi rajihun

RIP Alhaji Agba, Mr. Fuji. Through his music I was able to memorize the first few Ayat of Surah Yaseen. May Allah forgive him his sins and accept him into Al Janna Firdaus.

Aunty Funmi what is your problem with my faith? Its my believe not yours na. Aunty go and marry and be busy and stop doing kind of things here.

@ Saworoide, here is the link to THE TRUTH,

What can I say,

Arrangement is being made for his burial in Ibadan Nigeria
http://naijan.com/ayinde-barrister-to-be-buried-in-ibadan/

Loosing somebody like him is a deadly blown to the Entire Yoruba Race and the Misery to Nigeria as a Nation. If he (Sikiru Ayinde Barrister aka Mr. FUJI) is a Westerner he would be celebrated so immensely for he created his own Genre in Music.

Adieu Papa
Adieu Mr. FUJI

You will be missed Alhaji Agba

A life worth living, is a life well lived. May his soul rest in the perfect bossom of the Great Lord.

@Amalaaba there's no amount of twist or manipulation u can introduce that'll change d truth that Barry invented fuji music. With due regards sir, ur arguments and explanations are simply silly and stinking. Was it not the same "were" u talked about that metamophorsed into "awurebe" of epo-akara, because he was also into "were" before "awurebe". Go and check the root of "dadakuada", "apala" and "sakara" u will find "were". there. I guess u are a K1 fan. Go and hug lion because u can't mislead us, PERIOD and I also REST MY CASE. Shikena.

It's sad another legend has gone. I loved Fuji Garbage so much when I young, even now. R.I.P. Barry Wonder!

Ewo ile aye aye toto o.iku o mo eni aba palaiye o
Ojo ro dede ko me ni owo o

bye Doki

In fact, i was shocked when i heard this but notwithstanding we will all die one day. Alhaji Agba has done is best when he was alive. one of his song i like is Fuji Garbage. I like the song. i like the intro used, the dancing steps and movement. we will all miss you Baba Agba. Now no one to fill the vacuum you have created. No one is fit.
Well Iru Olorun ni kosi Iru eniyan wa repete. I think one day sombody will the vacuum eh
RIP Bari wonder

R.I.P Alhaij Agba

, from one of his albums, i was tought Suratul Inshirah, Alam Nashirah laka sadiraq,

May Allah grant him Aljanatul Firdaus

R.I.P to the Fuji Music Legendary.

You will be remembered for thoughtful fuji music that teaches moral, religion and love songs.

His songs make whole lot of senses that any other Fuji in the entire world.

Can we have another "Barry" Alhaji Agba?

Aloy+Emeka:

That's very unhealthy and fetish. Is your dad a Christian?.

U've been blindfolded by ds ur christian thing. Anyway Alhaji agba couldn't have accepted "christ as his personal lord and saviour" for d following obvious reasons known to him:
Jesus wasn't good to qualify as a savior - Mattew 19:16-17 & 20:20-23.
There's only one saviour - God. Isaiah 43 v 10-11, Hosea 13v4. and many more.
Christ wasn't sent to Alhaji agba, a nigerian, he was sent to d likes of Benjamin netanyau, Sharon etc - d isrealites Matthew 10 v 5-6,15 v 24.
If u want more, I have plenty.

. u ar very funny with "Christ wasn't sent to Alhaji agba, a nigerian, he was sent to d likes of Benjamin netanyau, Sharon etc - d isrealites Matthew"

I've transcribed a couple of Barrister's songs.  The captions are mine, so they may differ from other lyrics out there.  There are some Yoruba words and names I'm just not sure I got right.  I'll check with my parents to make sure there are no mistakes.  But I really want to share this.  If you're a fan of the late Barrister, I hope you can appreciate it.
