Widows of late Fuji maestro Skiriku Ayinde Barrister in separate interviews agreed that it was difficult to fill the vacuum left by their late husband.
Twelve years after the demise of the founder of the Fuji genre of music, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, some of his widows who are considering another marriage say finding true love has been difficult.
In separate interviews on Saturday in Lagos, they unanimously agreed that it was difficult to fill the vacuum the late Barrister had left.
Kehinde Balogun, 50, said finding a good man after her late husband’s demise 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” she said.
Oluwayemisi Balogun, 50, shared the same view and said that she would consider marriage again if it was God’s will for her.
“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.
Also, Temilola Balogun, 40, said 12 years after the death of ‘Alhaji Agba’, she has yet to find true love.
“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.
Meanwhile, Adebisi Balogun, 65, said remarrying was not her priority as she would instead focus on her children and grandchildren.
Also, Yetunde Balogun, 58, 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,” she said.
Yinka Balogun, in her 40s, said that she had not given another marriage a thought.
The veteran singer born Sikiru Ololade Ayinde Balogun, MFR, was born February 9, 1948, and died on December 16, 2010.
Regarded as the pioneer of the Fuji and Were genre of music, Ayinde Barrister released over 70 studio albums.
