Adewale Ayuba, aka Mr. Johnson,one of the Nigerians top musician, recently celebrates his 50th birthday.has this to say
about the journey so far:
When do you consider as your
happiest day?
I will not lie to you.
When I remember the day I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ, I am happy.
The day I became a born again, that was my happiest day. Now I realise this
life is to worship God.
As a Fuji musician from an
Islamic background, it is strange that you are a born again. What made you take
that decision?
It’s what brought me to
Fuji music. I don’t know. I remember I had a lot of Alfas who came to pray for
me and when they left, I would still go to my room to read the Bible. I think
my conviction was in the Bible. It got to a stage that my children would be
laughing. They would say, ‘Daddy, choose one.’ But I did not want to pick like
you said, because of Fuji.
It has Islamic origin, my
background, how would my family feel? I don’t want to offend this, I don’t want
to offend that but I discovered that religion or belief has nothing to do with
your musical life and no one says we are listening to your music because of
your personal life or so.
