True love they say never dies. Ayo, are you hooked, Pasuma says he's ready to take you to the altar tomorrow. I go love o.
Alhaji
Wasiu Alabi, popularly known as Pasuma he divulged some closely guarded
secrets regarding his past and his unmarried status.
Except:
You once said you grew up in Mushin. That must have been a rough and tough time for you. How rough exactly was your childhood?
Talking about rough, there is
something about Mushin that people run away from. Being a Mushin person,
people don’t usually want to associate with you or give you things.
When someone asks you where you are from and you say Mushin, they don’t
want to have anything to do with you. But I saw it as a challenge. When I
was a young boy, I attended Muslim Mission Primary School. Afterwards, I moved to Nigeria Model High School, Idioro also in Mushin. I decided that I wanted to get out of
the place and make people know that it is not only rascally people that
come out of Mushin. If we can talk of someone like Honourable Funmilayo
Tejuoso, Honourable Ganiyu Solomon, Honourable Muiz Bamire all from
Mushin making a difference, I determined that I could do better than
they did. And thank God, for where I am today and I am proud to say it
anywhere that I am from Mushin.
So why aren’t you married?
What happened?
It seems you’re still in love with her. Are you?
Now that people have planted the idea into your mind, would you consider it?
You’ve given almost 30 years of your life to music. Any other plans for the future?
Are you not married or you’re divorced?
I am not married but I have children.
In Yoruba culture, a 45-year-old man is expected to have been married.
Exactly.
So why aren’t you married?
I don’t want to rush into it. I would have been married earlier but it
didn’t work out. The person I was supposed to have married was Ayo
Adesanya. I love her so much. Everybody in my family knew her and knew that I wanted to marry her.
What happened?
You journalists caused it. Nobody outside of my family knew about our
relationship then and that was the way we wanted it. But one day we went
together to a show and some journalists saw us together and they
slammed our pictures on the
front page of the newspaper. It was The Fame newspaper then. Apparently,
they had been hearing the rumour but they could not confirm it so they
didn’t use the story. But this day when they saw us together, they just used the picture, without even interviewing
us. When the wahala started, Ayo couldn’t handle it anymore. I would
call her that I want to see her and she would say she was busy. I could
feel it that she was withdrawing from the relationship and I had to let
her go.
Did you feel you made a mistake letting her go?
Well, there’s something about love. If you love someone, you’d want them
to be happy. If their happiness is not with you, you’ll have to let
them go. She couldn’t handle the pressure and she obviously was not
happy again. So I had to let her go.
It seems you’re still in love with her. Are you?
(Laughs). She’s been married and has a child. Although the relationship didn’t last.
If Ayo says yes to your marriage proposal today, would you still marry her?
Yes! If she says yes today, we’ll head for the altar tomorrow.
So you’re still in love with her.
Yes.
Are you dating someone now?
I am free. I am currently single but I have a friend.
Did you date Iyabo Ojo?
No. Thank you for that question. Let people know that she and I are not dating. She is my very good friend and we are very close. Outside of that, we are not dating. We have not dated before, and we are not dating. The idea has not crossed our minds.
No. We are friends and that is enough for us. I am not dating Iyabo. Please help me tell them.
You’ve given almost 30 years of your life to music. Any other plans for the future?
Let’s wait and see what the future
has for me. You have to understand that you have to move with time and
seasons. My own is that I want people to think of me and say this guy
has tried for the industry and for the country. I want people to say I
want to become like Pasuma. I want people to live a free and purposeful
life. My future
is in God’s hands. I pray for long life though and to be able to use
that life to make significant impact on people’s lives and to make the
industry bigger.
