Yes! His work was over 30 years ago and he flew away home, leaving his global fans stupefied and in deep mourning. Robert Nesta Marley, popularly known as Bob Marley, was on May 11, 1981 felled by death caused by cancer and brain tumor. He had fought a ceaseless battle with death for eight months with the illness taking him to several hospitals in New York, USA and Munich, West Germany.

Marley finally gave up the ghost at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, USA surrounded by members of his family including his weeping mother, Cedelar Booker.

'Woman hold her head and cry cause her son had…died. Can a woman tender care cease towards the child she bears?' Marley sang prophetically several years ago.

Humble beginning

Bob Marley had a humble beginning. He was born in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica on February 6, 1945. His father was Norman Marley, a British Naval Captain posted to the West Indies during the Second World War. Marley had little Western education as he dropped out of school at 14 to become an apprentice welder. He soon quit welding to team up with Peter Tosh whom he had met recently and both released a single, Simmer Down which enjoyed a considerable airplay on the local radio.

In 1964, Marley and Tosh formed the Wailing Wailers together with Bunny Livingstone Wailer, Junior Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso, Rita Anderson (who later became Rita Marley in 1966), Judy Mowatt, and Marcia Griffith (the 1-Three). The group was popular in Jamaica as it performed in many shows.

In 1972, the Wailers was signed on by Chris Blackwell's Island Records and the following year, 1973 came out with their debut album, Catch A Fire. Catch A Fire actually launched the Wailers into superstardom. The group toured Britain, but as successful as the tour was, it turned out to be the turning point for the group. Back in Jamaica, the group split with Peter Tosh and Bonny Walter opting out after alleging Bob Marley's domineering role while on tour.

'They say it's Bob Marley and the Wailers, I never tell no one to say that…' Bob objected, stressing that the band's welfare was his concern.

Bob Marley & The Wailers
After the duo opted out, the band regrouped and became known as Bob Marley and The Wailers. In 1975, the group released an album, Natty Dread. It was an instant hit both in Jamaica and abroad. 1976 witnessed a follow-up album, Rastaman Vibration with it's hit track, War. 1977 was the year of Exodus while Kaya, an album that glorifies marijuana followed in 1978. In 1979, Marley came out with Survival but could not himself survive the Uprising (1980) of the cancer affliction of 1981.

Thirty years after, Marley's work still lives on. He would constantly be remembered as the apostle of reggae music, a thorn in the flesh of the oppressors and the wailing voice of the oppressed. He was the cultural ambassador of the Carribean Island. 'We Rastas don't worry about death. The whole significance of Rastas is in life,' Marley says. The irrepresible Rastaman was perhaps peeping into the future with this statement.

Reggae revival

But then reggae fans all over the world have undoubtedly stopped worrying themselves about Marley's death, their major concern is the lack of development of reggae music after he passed away. Since Marley's death reggae music has been rudderless like a kingdom without a king. In fact, Marley was the king and since he died nobody has been able to assume the throne. Not even the ageless Jimmy Cliff nor the Grammy award winning son of Marley, Ziggy. Just as the world is yearning for the revival of reggae music, Ziggy, on whom many fans depend to bring back the music's old glory is deeply involved in his new comic book, Marijuanaman, which he's using to educate the world on the many uses of marijuana.

'I started learning more about the marijuana plant, and it's basically used for more than smoking. It strikes me as to why society is not utilising it as a natural resource, for its industrial uses, to make clothes, for nutrition among an array of other uses. All we see is the smoking aspect. I'm trying to find a way to expose the idea of its many uses in a way that's not preachy, but in an entertaining way,' Ziggy explained.

Marley's biopic

Ziggy is also involved in the making of the latest Bob Marley documentary. Produced by Tuff Gong Pictures and Shangri-La Entertainment, the documentary entitled Marley is expected for release this year. It is directed by Kevin MacDonald, who won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature with his 2000 film One Day in September, and was also behind 2009's State of Play and The Last King of Scotland (2006).

'I was involved in it deeply, which is the first I've been involved in one of the documentaries like dis. It's trying to show him (Bob Marley) in a different light, from the people who knew him best,' said Ziggy.

[color=#000099]Hi guys..... A quick one;

I was told that VO for Canada do not really look at the details of the account, they are particular about the closing balance. How true is this.

I asked because my company will be funding my studies as my sponsors. I asked because the finances will be transferred to my Salary Account. Is that Okay? Or will it raise eye brow?

Aside the Sponsorship letter, study leave letter, employment letters, what else can I use as a backup to support this sponsorship?

Finally..... people finish their programme and do not come back, Im keen to knw what keeps them there. I know canada gives a 1yr work permit for a 1yr program, but in if its an organization sponsored programme, will I be given work permit there after my progrom?
Response please....

Good day Gurus, Pls I need your assistance. I applied for student visa on 10th Feb, 2017 and I got a refusal today.
I studied Elect \ Elect in HND 2005 with good working experience in Telecoms for 12yrs now. I applied to conestoga college for my PGD to study wireless network infrastructure which is closely related to my course of study and my experience. Although, I have travelled to Ghana in 2009 but I dint include it in my application. Please, I need urgent advise on what next to do as a friend is advising me to try PR.

Reason for refusal : I am not satisfied that you would leave Canada after your study so visa refused on the basis of
1. Travel History
2. Purpose of visit
3. Personal asset and financial status.

My big bosses pls i need your help. I had a skype interview with a PI at University of Alberta for PhD. The funding offer is 21k CAD (stipend+tuition) per year. We haven't concluded yet. Got another offer of $22k (stipend only, tuition covered seperately) at Colorado State Uni. Which do I go for? Alberta is of course higher ranked but I can't afford grad studies without funding. Please help.

Am seeing some other schools offering the same course and still open for September 2017.

and asked me to pay for my one year tuition fee which about to 10,350cad . i read project management in my first degree and i have been working in a private firm since my graduation as a sales rep of the company. my brother who will be my sponsor just opened his own company and i asked me to further my study in business development or equivalent to enable me get in-depth knowledge of business development and sustainability so that i will head his company after graduation

i married 29th of decemeber but my wife is just few weeks pregnant, and she has agreed i should go since i will be coming back after graduation.she has given me her consent letter from her office.

she is a government staff. my sponsor has paid my school fee and he is about to pay my accommodation for six month on campus. i have pieces of lands i bought in the village, there are no government papers to them except the agreement signed between me and the seller and witnesses. i have not much in my account as per account balance but there has been flow of fund which is not huge so to say. my sponsor who happens to be my blood brother is doing everything financial.

my fear now is i have been delayed last two years although i was just doing it on my own then without any support, and i was paper application, please what do you think and how best to i approach this application to avoid another delay. i am 34 this year and i am going for pgd. my course is starting september 4 ending december 2019. please i do not want to rush since my acceptance letter came very early, please i need direction on how to go about this. thank you

I applied for PGD Business Administration on my First Application that was denied. I was not having much fund. i had about 5million on a fixed deposit account then, and i was not married then, so i was told that my tie with Nigeria was not strong. more so i was told about not coming back after my study. that i did not show that i will be coming back after my study
