Fatai Rolling Dollar Passes on!
Reports reaching me now says that veteran highlife musician Fatai Rolling Dollars, is dead.
Born 22nd July 1926, Rolling Dollar was known for his dexterity on the guitar. His zest for life and energy, even in old age, no wonder he remained a brand ambassador to a pharmaceutical company in Nigeria. His hit track - Won kere si number wa, stands as one of the best high-life music hit in Nigeria.
He was one of the highlife singers who made in the 60-early 70s, had a lull in his fortunes before providence smiled on him.
Details of his demise will follow shortly.
Adieu!! Won keresi number wa crooner.
Composer of Nigeria's National Anthem, Benedict Odiase passes on.
...." Our Hero's past...
The composer of Nigeria's National Anthem, Pa Benedict Odiase has passed on. Mr Odiase died last night in his sleep. He composed Arise O Compatriots” in May 1978.Pa Odiase retired in 1992 as a Deputy Commissioner of Police after being the Director of Music with the Nigeria Police Band. You can ask me why there is not much to talk about this great hero. That brings us to the question; How do we celebrate and acknowledge good deeds for our fatherland?
