A veteran juju singer, Michael Adedayo, aka Micho Ade, says that though he has been singing professionally for 50 years, he is still not tired but is poised to even do more.

Ade, who is set to celebrate his 50 years on stage, told Sunday Scoop, “One ought to move forward in anything one does. After this 50-year milestone, I will continue waxing strong to make music that is even better than the ones I had done before. I am not tired at all.”

On the changes he would like to see in the music industry, the Ekiti State-born singer said, “The government is not supporting the industry like it ought to. Musicians do a lot to promote the country’s cultural heritage. On that note, we, musicians, are imploring the government to support us in terms of finance and other aspects, so that we can move forward.”

Sparing words of advice for young musicians, Ade said, “As a musician, one ought to have good songs that will inspire people positively. Nowadays, most of the songs out there portray youths doing things that will not help society to grow in a positive way. Negative songs should not be encouraged in society.”

Micho Ade also noted that he would want to be known as an artiste who always makes distinctive music. He added, “My music is quite different from others in terms of composition. I also take my music from a moral angle, and everyone knows me for that. I love making songs that can change people from bad to good.”

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Seyi Awolowo, has vowed never to return to the show if given the opportunity.

Featuring in a recent episode of the Old Secrets podcast, Awolowo lamented that he allowed himself to be bullied by “very low, insignificant and uneducated people” by accepting to be on the show and vowed not to allow that again.

He explained that if he could go back in time, he still wouldn’t change any of his actions in the house, stressing that he has already been chastised and have learned from his mistakes.

He, however, lamented the attitude of some educated elites who also joined in bullying out of convenience.

“I will never go back to the show, Multichoice can’t even call me…

“I allow myself get bullied by very very insignificant and uneducated people. Not to mention the educated ones amongst that have the ability to see the truth but because of convenience, refused to stand by it,” he said.
