Would you say you have lived a happy life?
Life is about ups and downs. At times, people will be happy and at times, they will be sad. I only thank God for my life. I am happy with my kids and fans. I am happy that I was sick and I came out of it. If you had seen me then, I am sure you would also thank God for my life. I love singing. That is my talent. Nobody taught me to sing. This is all I know how to do.
You started singing in 1974…
Yes. I released my first album in 1977. I titled it In Memoriam. It was in memory of our head of state, Murtala Muhammed, who was killed. I didn’t grow up with my mother. I grew up with my guardian. My mother was seriously sick for 15 years. My dad didn’t want me to sing. He noticed that I was different from all his other children. Later on, he gave his consent.
Was it because of music that made you not to go higher than primary education or was it financial constraints?
During my own time, my dad didn’t believe in women going to school. It was my guardian and my headmaster that made sure I schooled up to Primary Six. They wanted me to at least get to that level so that I could be able to write my name in future. But what I cannot do, my children can do now. I cherish education. At times, I feel bad that my father didn’t allow me to further my education but then again, I also remind myself that you might read all the ‘Cambridge’ and you would still be nothing.
Were you able to get your master tapes from the family of the late Lati Adepoju, the music promoter you had a son for?
No. Lati died in January 2000 while my son died in October 2000. Demola (Lati’s second son) told me that his daddy said that anytime I asked for my master tapes, he should give them to me because they are my property. Before Lanre died, they brought five tapes.
Were they just five?
No. they brought five out of 15. I travelled to Canada and I saw Demola. I asked him about my master tapes. He told me that I should open an account.
For what?
He said their father left a flat for Lanre. He said he would be paying in the rent of Lanre’s flat into the account. I told him I didn’t need it and it was my master tapes that I needed most. He said I would need the money. He told me I could give the money to the motherless.
Did you eventually open the account?
When I wanted to open the account, he said the tenants weren’t paying the rents. The more I remember Lanre’s death, the more I feel so pained.
How did he die?
He died in a motor accident. He wasn’t the one driving. I had a driver who had been driving me for seven years. They went to Ilorin. The accident happened on their way back from Ilorin.
How was Lanre’s relationship with his step siblings?
The remaining children are Kollington’s. I didn’t give any room for division. They loved one another. There was never a problem. The other three saw Lanre as their brother.
Was it your fault that you broke up with Kollington?
If I open up the chapter of my relationship with him, I am not sure it would take less than three pages.
Why didn’t you remarry after you broke up with Kollington?
I tried but it didn’t work out. I wanted to. I love children. I had the intention of having more children.
Did you encourage them to have cordial relationship with their fathers?
I never turned the children against their fathers. Anytime they had to go to Kollington’s house, four of them would go there. When they had to go to Lanre’s father’s house, all of them would go as well.
How easy was it while you were married?
I came from a polygamous family and God took me to a polygamous family. Where would I start from? Is it the day we ate or the days we didn’t eat? I would use myiroandbubato make the clothes for them and tell them not to let their step siblings know that the clothes weren’t new. But in all, I thank God.

Waka queen, Salawa Abeni, tells ‘Nonye Ben-Nwankwo about the challenges she faced during her ill health
Was it because of your health issues that you titled your latest album ‘Recovery’?
Oh yes. It was basically because of it. Thank God I am very okay now.
We learnt you had stroke.
How true is that?
I don’t know where people got the stroke story from. My father didn’t die of stroke. My mother is still alive even at 96 years. People are just peddling rumours.
But what was the problem with you, what were you diagnosed with?
My blood pressure was very high. I think it started when I lost my son 13 years ago. He wasn’t my only son. But then, no matter what, if you have 10 fingers and you lose one, you will feel the pain.
Were you not aware that your blood pressure was rising?
No. I wasn’t aware. It was five years ago that I found out. But this particular sickness that got me down, I wouldn’t know where it came from because I performed that Friday. I went to meet colleagues at Fantasy Land (Lagos). We wanted to do a collaboration for (Barrack) Obama’s inauguration. I was dressing up for the show. I was about to tie my gele (headgear). The person that ties my headgear was doing it. I wanted to tell her that the scarf was too tight for me. I raised my hand and suddenly, I found out that I couldn’t make use of my right hand again.
Did it get better?
No. So I had go to my mother’s place. She called a local masseur to massage the hand for me. They used candle to rub on the hand. Thereafter, I still went back for the show.
Oh, you did? Even with the hand like that?
Oh yes. In order to exercise the hand, I told my driver to sit beside me so that I could drive. I drove from Ijebu Ode to Lagos. Eventually, I went to the hospital. My doctor checked my BP and said it was a little bit high. He told me I needed to rest. The late Dr. Ayinde Barrister, my dad (that was what I used to call him), came to my house. But that was after I had called him. I saw him and I started crying.
Why did you start crying when you saw him?
It was simply because I couldn’t stand to welcome him. He spent so many hours with me. He told me I shouldn’t worry that I would be fine. I knew I wasn’t feeling fine. From my neck down to my legs were dead. My brain was functioning very well. I didn’t sound sick on the phone.
Why didn’t you travel abroad?
I did. But before then, my aunt took me to a hospital in Lagos. They couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. I did so many tests. But I wasn’t getting better. That was when I had to go to London with my daughter.
Did you get any better in London?
Not really. I left London for Paris.
Were you able to pay for your hospital bills on your own or did you get help from the public?
I had a lot of money in my account. But I spent all my money. I got the phone numbers of some high personalities in the country. They were able to render their assistance. The Lagos State government helped me as well. Some people started dodging my calls. Some people said I was lying concerning my ill health. Some would give you excuses. Some would say they gave me money the other day so I shouldn’t expect another. I know when I get my career back, I would be okay.
Are you fully recovered now?
I am okay. But I really want my career to bounce back. That will make me happy.
But don’t you think you should leave your career and rest for a while?
I am okay. Even my doctor in Paris still told me that I needed to rest. The last time I saw him, he asked me, ‘Salawa, you are still singing?’ I told him that my country is not like his country. If you don’t work, you won’t feed. Who will I call again? Some people will give me once, then will give me the second time reluctantly and then, the third time, they would tell you in black and white that they are not giving you again.
Kollington Ayinla is the father of your kids. Did you reach out to him when you were ill?
He heard. Our son told him. He called me immediately and asked me why I was sick.
Did he eventually come to see you?
Four months later, during Ramadan, I was in my aunty’s house, he called. He said he just saw it in the papers. I asked him why he couldn’t even call his son to ask how I was. Two months after, he came. He also called a couple of times.
But did he render any form of financial assistance?
Hmmmm. No comment.
You always say you trained your kids all the while you were separated from him. Was it your choice to train them or he didn’t bother helping out?
That is the way God wanted it. It is difficult to train one child let alone four of them. Then, I could wear one particular attire to perform at 10 or more events. I never owed their school fees.

Nine soldiers, including an officer in the rank of a lieutenant have been killed in the ongoing confrontation between Nigerian security forces and the rampaging Boko Haram insurgents which escalated on Thursday night.
The insurgents launched a violent siege on selected security formations in Yobe State.
The lieutenant was said to have led his boys to defend the the Police Area Command and was felled by Boko Haram bullets.
The casualty figure on the part of the security forces also included four mobile policemen.
It was learnt that the policemen were buried by an APC as they were shooting the Boko Haram insurgents from a trench.
The source said that the driver of the vehicle did not know that the policemen were in the trench.
The exchange of gunfire between the insurgents and a combined team of soldiers of the Division 3 of the Nigerian Army, the police and operatives of the State Department commenced by 6.30pm and lasted till the early hours of Friday.
At the end of hostilities, the isurgents were said to have killed some soldiers, their wives and their children at a mini army barracks along Maiduguri Road.
The insurgents also bombed the mini barracks, the Police Area Command, Damaturu, the CID, the Mobile Police Base and an office in charge of environment along Guija Road, Damaturu.
It was further learnt that a heavy casualty on the part of the Nigeria police was also “very likely” as the two police formations in the same compound, the Area Command and the CID were bombed by the insurgents.
The source, however, added that the security operatives returned the fire of the insurgents, killing over 50 of them on Thursday night.
The military authorities in charge of the prosecution of the campaign against the insurgents reacted to the latest Boko Haram assault by suspending movement throughout Yobe State.
The spokesman of the 3 Division Special Operations Battalion in Yobe, Lt. Eli Lazarus, said in a statement late Thursday that the Army had imposed a 24-hour curfew in Yobe.
He said that the curfew was meant to intensify military action against the insurgents.
Lazarus appealed to all law abiding citizens to be calm.
“The 3 Division Special Operation Battalion Damaturu hereby imposes a 24-hour curfew across Yobe State with immediate effect. Law abiding citizens are enjoined to remain calm as the battalion steps up its operation against insurgents in the state,” the statement read.
A security source said on Friday that the Special Forces acting on a tip-off killed 13 of the insurgents on their way to Maiduguri.
The source said that all the 13 insurgents were Chadian nationals which confirmed the earlier reports that terrorists from other African countries had aligned forces with the Boko Haram to fight Nigeria.
It was learnt that the current confrontation started with the arrest of two trucks belonging to a foremost industrialist from the northern part of the country (name withheld) at a military checkpoint on Thursday night.
A source said that the drivers of the trucks told the Special Forces that a big bag in one of the trucks belonged to a very senior military officer and should not be searched.
The drivers and their colleagues were said to have displayed a memo purportedly from Defence Headquarters and signed by the said military officer that the bag should not be searched for whatever reason.
It was learnt that the soldiers became more suspicious with the explanation and the memo tendered by the driver and impounded the trucks at the Police Area Command, Guija Road, Damaturu.
It was further said that the drivers and their passengers were consequently detained at the Police Area Command.
The source said that when the security agencies searched the bag, they found a high quantity of military camouflage uniforms and arms and ammunition in it which made them to impound the trucks and detained the drivers and their colleagues.

Former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori
| credits: File copy
The legal battle over the controversial $15m Ibori bribe money ended on Friday as an Abuja Federal High Court ordered that the amount should be forfeited to the Federal Government.
This followed the court’s rejection of the claim made by Delta State Government.
The court, presided over by Justice Gabriel Kolawole, held that Delta State was not able to prove its claim that the money belonged to it.
The $15m was said to have been received by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from an undisclosed agent of the former Delta State Governor, James Ibori in 2007 as a bribe to compromise its investigation into his financial dealings, while in office from 1999 to 2007.
The money has been kept with the Central Bank of Nigeria as an unclaimed property since August 2007, but a legal battle ensued over its ownership, after the court had on July 24, 2012, granted an interim order forfeiting the cash to the Federal Government.
While the Federal Government, through the EFCC lawyer, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), asked the court for a final order of forfeiture so that the money could be deposited in the national treasury, Delta State filed an application, claiming that the money belonged to it.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government said it would keep the money in a consolidated revenue fund to be used for the wellbeing of Nigerians while the state government expressed a wish to use it to provide infrastructure in the state.
The Federal Government’s main argument against the claim made by Delta State was that the state government had washed its hands off the $15m when it resisted investigations into corruption allegations against Ibori by deposing to an affidavit stating that it had not lost any money.
The Federal Government stressed that the then Attorney-General of Delta State had filed an action against the EFCC and the Attorney-General of the Federation, stating that the state government’s account should not be investigated in line with the anti-graft agencies investigations into allegations of financial impropriety leveled against Ibori.
And in his judgement on Friday, Justice Kolawole agreed with the Federal Government.
He equally held that Ibori had earlier denied reports that the $15m cash emanated from him, a development which undermined Delta State’s claim that the money was from its coffers.
Delta State’s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Charles Ajuyah (SAN), who was the state’s counsel, had told the court to take a cue from previous instances when money recovered from two other governors – Joshua Dariye of Plateau State and Dipreye Alamiesiegha of Bayelsa State – were returned to the states.

Rip to the boy.

Obaino is a good man nah.

In my own case, i would say that i was influenced in having a girlfriend, my guys all had their own girlfriends, so it was like i was dull, or rather they said i was shy. Then i decided i must get a girlfriend, i met this pretty girl in my church and i was like this girl is going to be very easy, "you know church girl things". Then i decided to approach her, after chykin her, she fell for me fast fast. Then i took her on a date, i was just assuming that i won't spend more than 200, "just for coke and eggroll", based on the assumption that church girls are too cheap and club girls are too costly, i never knew that i just jam a trailer. We actually went to the fast food joint or you can call it tantilizer and she demanded a food worth 2000 naira, i was shocked, but for my mind i don hammer fine chick, my guys got jealous that i had a fine babe, but all the same they were still happy that i now had a girlfriend.
But it got to a stage that this girl wanted to finish my money, i thought she was in love with me, i never knew that she was in love with my pocket, after several attempt of inviting her to my house, she just refused to come, she always give excuses like she is either in her period, or her father is at home, or she is going for a choir practice, after all the cash i spent on her, she come dey play me koni koni love, e no go work, that was what i said in my mind, then on this fateful day, i invited her to come to tantalizer, so that i would buy her something to eat, but she told me that she is in her aunty house, so i decided to go to church since i was lazy at home, as i was getting closer to my church i saw two people romancing theirselves, i was shocked then i decided to get closer to them, when i got closer i saw that it was my babe kissing another man, i shouted her name and she did as if she did not see me, then the guy asked her who i was, she just said i was among the technical unit, that am among those that use to carry the speaker to the store house, i just walked out on her, then the next day i told her that we should just end the relationship, i thought she would beg me, but lo and behold she just agreed to break the relationship, but i thank God am free from her now.
So to me my reasons for breaking up with my girlfriend is because she was a cheat and she likes money too much...
Can you share your own experience...

I store her number as my world.

4 persons died in an auto crash that occurred at Igbara-Oke in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State, weekend.
Fourteen others sustained injuries, following a head-on collision of an 18-passenger Mazda bus, number plate Lagos KSF 706 XF, and a Honda Accord saloon, AA 239 GBH.
The officer in charge of Field Operation of the Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, in the state, Mr. Joseph Ojerinde, told Vanguard that the accident occurred at 6.30pm on Saturday.

Ojerinde said: “Immediately we were informed about the accident, our men moved to the scene, we were told that the Honda Accord car, dangerously overtook a vehicle and had a head-on collision with the Mazda bus coming from the other side.”
He said 22 persons were in both cars: 14 males, four females and four under-aged children, adding that the dead were adult males.
