Lagos – Twelve years after the demise of the creator of the Fuji genre of music, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, some of his widows have revealed why they are yet to remarry.

In separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, they unanimously agreed that it was difficult to fill the vacuum the late Fuji crooner had left.

Alhaja Kehinde Balogun, 50 years old, told NAN that finding a good man after the demise of her late husband was tough.

“It’s not easy, but should a good man come along, I will remarry. It is not easy to come across truthful men these days.

“I was quite young when I got married to Alhaji and losing him hasn’t been easy, but we can’t question God.

“Being a widow hasn’t been easy but God has been faithful, with the support of family and friends,” she said.

Sharing the same view was Mrs. Oluwayemisi Balogun, a 50-year-old.

She told NAN that if it was God’s will for her to remarry, she will.

“In life, you never say never. You don’t know what God has destined for you, so it is important to always focus on the will of God.

“If God says I’d remarry, so be it. Marriage is a union that God created and like most women I’d want that too,” she said.

Sikiru Ololade Ayinde Balogun, MFR, a native of Ibadan, Oyo State was born Feb. 9, 1948 and died on Dec. 16 2010.

Better known by his stage name, Ayinde Barrister, Balogun was a Yoruba-born songwriter, song producer, and music performer.

Mrs. Temilola Balogun, 40 years old, told NAN that 12 year years after the death of Alhaji Agba, she has yet to find true love.

“If I find someone I love enough to share my life with him, why not, but finding true love isn’t easy these days, one has to thread with caution.

“So if tomorrow I find that true love, I’d remarry but until then, I’d keep praying to God for mercy and protection,” she said

Regarded as the pioneer of the Fuji and Were genre of music, Ayinde Barrister went on to release over 70 studio albums.

Alhaja Adebisi Balogun, 65 years old, told NAN that remarrying was not her priority as she would rather focus on her children and grandchildren.

“At this age, what is the point, my focus is to live a healthy life surrounded by my children and grandchildren,” she said.

Sharing the same view was Mrs. Yetunde Balogun, 58 years old, who said that at this stage of her life remarrying was a non-issue to her.

“What will I be looking for again, I have lived life with my late husband, I am happy with the memories we shared.

“My children are getting married now, so it’s just grandma duties I am doing and living my life to the fullest,” she said.

Alhaja Yinka Balogun, in her 40s, told NAN that she hasn’t given remarrying a thought.

“I have never thought about it honestly,” she said. (NAN/vitalnews)
