MICHEALADEX:
Wasiu gets performance charge and still make several millions from hyping guest who dances to the creativities of his drummers

Beyond salaries, there are other ways expected to show kindness and appreciation to those who kept you at the top for several years and still standing

Mega 99 is bought plots of land, named is megacity and gave plots to his band members.

Wasiu is a bad wicked guy even to his low level fans,

Go and check all the people who foolishly lavished their monies on him, today they are all poor.

The drummers and their drums are usually diabolically tuned ....let me stop here

Journalist and publicist to Fuji music star, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall a.k.a. K1 De Ultimate, Kunle Rasheed, has penned his view about the controversial interview granted by a former lead drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo, alleging ‘enslavement’ during his 32 years of working with the music icon

Ayankunle Ayanlowo: An Ingrate’s Tirades Against A Benefactor

There is no iota of doubt that the outburst of Ayankunle Ayanlowo, the ex-talking drummer of Fuji Czar, K1 De Ultimate, is generating the usual buzz on social media, with many caught in the frenzy, taking sides without considering the other perspective.

It is understandable that many are swayed by emotions based on what the drummer said about his former boss. This has instantly turned them into internet judges and justices without delving beyond the surface of his claims.

Although K1 has decided not to “wrestle with the pig” by not dignifying him with a response, those familiar with the previously smooth sailing are now presenting evidence to set the record straight.

Many may not be aware that before this trending video surfaced, Ayankunle had been sending several people to K1 to plead for his return. For whatever reason, his boss and benefactor have refused this, hence the need for ‘Ayan’ to start splashing mud around.

One major issue that has continued to be the bane of Nigerian society, especially in our dear Yorubaland, is that monster known as “self-entitlement.” We have allowed this beast to eat deeper into our flesh, always expecting our desires to be fulfilled by others rather than ourselves.

The question many should have asked Ayanlowo is, during the 32 years he claimed to have worked for K1, did K1 owe him any salaries? Was he not paid his deserved wages as and when due?

The fact that he didn’t ‘achieve anything’ shouldn’t be his boss’s problem but his personal predicament, which many fail to see.

If Kamoru Ayanyemi (Bata), whom Ayankunle brought to the band, can build two houses and is on the verge of completing a hotel in Lagos, how can we not pose that question to him about his finances during his 32 years of service?
The false belief of entitlement that has made him abdicate his individual responsibility should not be blamed on anyone else but himself.
Ayankunle, in his fantasy land warble, made another claim that K1 has the habit of holding onto their passports whenever they travel abroad for performances.

Numerous people should be aware of the reason behind this if logic can be allowed to prevail in our minds. It is a well-known fact that many band members, regardless of the artist, see overseas travels as an opportunity to abscond. They view it as a chance to better their lives once the overseas journey becomes a reality.
If K1 knows the consequence of a member disappearing when the opportunity arises, he must take measures to curb it to maintain his image.
What many do not know is that whenever a member or members disappear from the band abroad, it becomes pretty difficult to access visas and other privileges from that country’s embassy.
If Ayankunle has worked for someone for 32 years and feels he was not treated right, why did he stay until now to tarnish his boss’s reputation?
Honestly, people who are quick to pass judgment are not conversant with the history of drummers and their bosses over the years.

Maybe many should be reminded of what transpired between King Sunny Ade and his drummer of many years, Tiamiyu.

The issue between Chief Ebenezer Obey and Mutiu Kekere also was not a sweet song at a point in time.

Even K1’s eternal boss, the late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, had issues with many of his lead drummers like Babatunde Oyadolu and Kamoru Ayansola, leading to unsavory remarks against him.

Can we also forget the late Apala maestro, Haruna Ishola, and his drummer Ojubanire?
What about Yusuf Olatunji and his longstanding drummer, Kasunmu?

Ajewole Onilu Ola took his boss, the late Ayinla Omowura, to task when they had a longstanding issue then. It was when they reconciled that the artist recorded a track for his drummer, “Adewole pada d’omo tuntun, Adewole pada d’omo tuntun…” (the rebirth of Adewole).

The issue between Ayankunle and K1 remains child’s play compared to those mentioned above.

So, it is not strange if Ayankunle has gone down this familiar route.

Ayankunle forgot to realize that bank accounts and documents don’t lie. His wages and those of others always go from the band account controlled by K1 to everyone’s account every week. And K1 can produce a decade of his account statements to support this fact.

I strongly believe that Ayankunle should learn to do his own growing, no matter how tall he feels his father was. Mo soyi mo duro na.

This is still Kunle Rasheed reporting live from my inner mind.

Nigerian Fuji icon, King Wasiu Ayinde, widely recognized as Kwam1 or K1, has finally responded to the accusations made by his drummer, Kunle Ayanlowo.

In a recent interview, Kunle detailed his experiences working with Kwam1, alleging mistreatment and likening his relatioship to Kwam1 to that between a master and a slave.

He claimed Kwam1 would confiscate their passports when they traveled and even recounted an incident where he was instructed to return home instead of seeking medical attention.

Kunle expressed ongoing health concerns, attributing them to stress from his time with Kwam1, and vowed to hold the singer accountable if anything were to happen to him.

Having served K1 for 32 years, Kunle lamented achieving nothing and living in constant fear, contrasting the public perception of Kwam1 with his behind-the-scenes personality.

This is what former Kwam1 drummer has to say about him.

In response, Kwam1 took to Instagram to rebuke the allegations, urging Kunle to refrain from falsehoods and urging those around him to steer clear of deceitful individuals.

Kwam1 stated that he had been the one to support Kunle when he had nothing and cautioned against associating with dishonesty, asserting it brings no benefit.

In his words, “Lairs and naysayers get away from me, stop lying. Trying to damage the reputation that raised you when you were a nobody. Disassociate from liars, you have nothing to gain from them”.

Why Bamboo—That Nigeria’s economy is in bad shape, is no longer news. Food and other necessities are hard to come by.

However, no matter what turn the economy takes, Nigerians, by their unique nature, will always find survival alternatives.

That is why although it sounds unthinkable to see, anywhere in the world, where bamboos are used in place of irons to cast pillars and decking of building constructions, Nigeria has found in convenient.

The high cost of building materials is making many homeowners go for cheap alternatives for construction.

While many Nigerians whose buildings are under construction are abandoning them, waiting for when prices of materials will go down, most frustrated ones are selling off their uncompleted properties to interested buyers.

But others have decided to invent conventional means by replacing iron rods with bamboo.

Economy&Lifestyle discovered that home construction engineers now use bamboo, laced with construction wires to cast decking and pillars of buildings.

Usually, for such buildings, Iron rods are used in these areas to create rigidity and firmness.
Bamboo, a woody plant with hollow stems is in the grass family. It is always used for scaffolding in tall buildings replacing steel irons merged together with screws.

According to Mr. Andrew Asaga, a building engineer, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 10mm, or 8mm iron rods are recommended for building apartments depending on the strength of the material and the designs specified.

He added: “Bamboo can also do the job of an iron rods to an extent.

“Some persons now use only bamboo for the pillars.

“Some mix bamboo with iron rods for the decking to save cost.

“Others now use only bamboo for decking.

“An iron rod costs between N10,000 to N30,000 depending on the size.

“This was twice the price it was sold for last year.

Few weeks ago, a client who wanted to build a bungalow asked that I use bamboo mixed with iron rods to build the pillars because the cost of iron rods has increased.

“He wanted me to construct 8 pillars for the building and would need four 12 mm iron rods for a pillar.
“A ton of 12mm (93 pieces) is now over N1.3 million.

“I don’t know where this country is heading to.”

Mr. Atanaza Godbless, an engineer said: ” Building developers are no longer making profits in the business.

” This is because the cost of building materials are increasing daily.

“When you make a quotation for clients today and they respond next week, you get to the market and discover that the prices of the materials you quoted have increased tremendously.

“You are left with nothing to settle with your workers.

“At the end you see engineers running away leaving workers unpaid.

“And such a person is being labelled bad.
“People are now settling for less alternatives of building materials.

“The cost of iron rods for instance, is making people use bamboo.

“The government is seeing all these and nothing is being done to reduce the cost of building materials.

“The result of these alternatives is having inferior buildings and increased building collapse.”

The strong bonds between concrete and the iron rods ensure stronger constructions as external forces cannot easily break these bonds and the concrete will not slip away from these rods as they are tied together during construction.

Mrs. Fatimetu Momoh, a bamboo seller said the price of a piece of bamboo has also increased from N400 per bamboo to N1500.

She added: “Even used ones now go for N900 which was sold for N200.

“Those supplying the bamboo are complaining of logistics and levies paid on the road.

“This is not something we import. Or do we start importing bamboo? Something we have in our country.

“There is no business that is not frustrated in today’s economy. I pray God will save us from this horrible situation.”
