I don’t have any ailment associated with old age. It’s God’s grace which I cannot even explain myself. There is a man known as Saanu Oluwa who sent something to us once or twice, but after he died we have not been seeing anything again.Īt over 100 years, you’re still healthy and walking unaided. Since the demise of Orlando, have you been given something from the proceeds of the royalties on his works as his mother because his works are still being produced and reproduced, even till today? He brings me food and money every time, as well as ‘Ade-the-Tailor’ in Akure, a friend of Orlando. Also, his friend Apata, the monarch of Ipe-Akoko, has always been doing the same thing. Even my contribution in the church, ‘Die-the-Matter’ has always been paying it. Since the death of Orlando, some of his friends are still taking care of me, particularly, his friend, ‘Die-the-Matter’ ( a former NURTW Chairman in Ondo State, Chief Obayoriade Oladutele), who has never left me for once. Since the demise of Orlando, do his lovers still extend the same gesture to you?

Up till now, anytime people see me, the same love they have for Orlando is the same they do show to me. There was a particular time I went to watch him performing for the first time, I still could not describe the kind of joy I felt inside of me when I saw the crowd that had come to watch him. How did you feel when he later became famous all over the world as a result of his music? They liked him a lot and they did take him out. When he was young, he moved with those who were much older than him. Not really he was not a troublemaker, he did not fight about.

Was Chief Orlando very stubborn when he was a young child?

After much thought, I stopped discouraging and I allowed him. But later people came to appeal to me to let him pursue his dreams, that he could also make it in life through music. I asked him why he would take such a decision because I could not understand why he would abandon school and be singing about. What was your reaction when he chose music over education? After a while he (Orlando) moved with his band back to Lagos where he made up his mind to settle. It was here in Owo before we later moved to Lagos and then relocated back to Owo.
