Asked to write an essay in Professor of Psychology, Scott Allison’s “Heroes & Villains” class at the University of Richmond, Virginia, Corinne Devaney chose Bob Marley. Marley was a mulatto born in crime-centric slum neighborhood of St. Anne in Jamaica. He was a product of a liaison between a Black mother, then 18-year old Miss Cedella Malcom and Norval Sinclair Marley, a white father from Crowborough, East Sussex, UK. The older Marley was then about 60 years of age.
Apparently basking in the euphoria of this stardom, in 1966, John Lennon, a member of the band, during an interview with an Evening Standard reporter, Maureen Cleave, in March 1966, had remarked, “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink … We’re more popular than Jesus now – I don’t know which will go first, rock and roll or Christianity.
In December, 2020, with the piece I entitled Ayinde Barrister: In memoriam of a musician who peaked by Ayinla Omowura’s graveside, I naturally ruptured the ice of that divide of predestination and natural progression of stardom. With it, I provoked the bile of fans of famous Yoruba Fuji music star, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister. Barrister was a known protégé of late Apala music star, Ayinla Omowura, who was killed in 1980 in a barroom squabble.
That week, the water bottle culture was implicated in the deaths of Olugbenga Abiodun, son of current governor of Ogun State, “Prince Dr. Dapo,” aka DJ Olu and Chime Amaechi who were both found dead inside a BMW car in a garage in Banana Island, Lagos. Three days earlier, another Davido’s friend, Umeike Tagbo, had reportedly died on his birthday at a drinking bar located in the Lekki area after an alleged consumption of 10 shots of Tequila drug.
The world, however, began to notice hiccups in Brenda’s life when her weird passion spilled into the limelight. Brenda was found to be a suicidal drug addict and addictively wedged to lesbianism. In 1995, she was found in a hotel room with the remains of her lesbian partner who passed on during their lesbian orgy, gingered with drug consumption. She had died of an apparent heroin overdose but Brenda survived.
However, as the words in the tribute done for him posthumously by Ayinla Omowura says, when one is as lowly as to be able to afford eating only an ordinary vegetable for dinner, they have to be as watchful and mindful of danger as the man who is rich – b’eyan nje’fo sun ko sora, belentase eni l’owo l’owo. Those who sought to extinguish Bakare’s shining star found out his Achilles heel – voracious consumption of the flesh of a species Wole Soyinka referred to as Daughters of Discord.
A word is enough for the wise.👌
