Not Sunny Ade or Ebenezer Obey – Meet the Real Father of Juju Music

Long before Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey became famous, there was Tunde King the man who started it all.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Lagos was a lively city full of Yoruba locals and people who had returned from places like Brazil and Cuba. Together, they created a new music style called Palm Wine music, which mixed Yoruba traditional sounds with foreign influences. From this, Juju music was born right in a mechanic’s workshop in the Olowogbowo area of Lagos.

That’s where a group of young men would gather to drink, play music, and enjoy life. Tunde King led the group.

Who Was Tunde King?

Abdulrafiu Babatunde King was born on August 24, 1910, in Olowogbowo, Lagos Island, where many Saro (returnee African) families lived. His father, Ibrahim Sanni King, was a top court clerk and had spent time in Sierra Leone. Though Tunde was Muslim, he went to a Christian primary school and later attended Eko Boys’ High School. That’s where a classmate taught him to play the guitar.

Tunde became known among his friends who gathered at a mechanic's shop to talk, sing, and play homemade instruments. By 1929, he had a day job as a clerk and played music part-time. By the mid-1930s, his fame grew. He made records, performed on radio, and played live at events, which was how he earned most of his money.

For example, he performed at the wake-keeping of the well-known doctor Oguntola Sapara in June 1935. He usually charged about 8 shillings per show, but guests often gave extra gifts while he performed. On good nights, he and his band made over £15, and once, a woman even threw him a golden bracelet worth £50 as he sang her praises.

Tunde King’s music was simple but powerful. His songs were full of wisdom and emotion. One of his most touching songs was made to comfort **Dr. Macaulay** after the loss of his daughter.

Tunde King passed away in the 1980s, but his impact lives on. He laid the foundation for Juju music in Nigeria and his name deserves to be remembered.

When a nuclear bomb goes off, it creates an enormous explosion that happens in just a fraction of a second. If you are very close to the blast, the force of the explosion is so powerful that it can kill you almost instantly. This means you wouldn’t even have time to feel any pain. The sheer speed of the explosion is what makes it so deadly.

In a nuclear explosion, the intense heat and shock wave come at you so quickly that your body cannot react in time. Everything happens in a blink of an eye. It’s not like other dangers where you might have a chance to feel scared or worried. Instead, being so close to a nuclear blast means that the moment it happens, your life is over before you even realize what is going on.

It's a frightening thought but also serves as a reminder of how destructive nuclear weapons can be. Thankfully, most people are never in a position to experience something like this, and there are many measures in place to prevent such disasters from occurring in the first place.

Tension in Lagos – 1964 Nigerian Federal Election Crisis

A squad of heavily armed riot police moves through a street in Lagos, deployed to disperse demonstrators calling for the postponement of Nigeria's federal election scheduled for that day. The atmosphere was tense, reflecting deep national divisions ahead of the controversial polls.

The 1964 parliamentary elections were held under extremely volatile circumstances. While elections went ahead in much of the country on December 30, voter boycotts and unrest delayed voting in parts of the Eastern Region, Lagos, and the Mid-Western Region until March 18, 1965.

Two major political coalitions dominated the election:

Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) – led by the Northern People's Congress (NPC) and allied with several regional parties.
United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA) – led by the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) and the Action Group, along with other progressive factions.
Despite widespread accusations of electoral manipulation, boycotts, and violence, the NPC emerged as the dominant party, securing 162 out of 312 seats, while the NNA held a majority of 198 seats.
Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was subsequently re-elected as Prime Minister, but the election left the country politically fractured, with lingering tensions that would contribute to future instability.
