May Allah grant Dr.Sikiru Ayinde Barrister Al jannat firdaos.
He was a lucky man, because, there are more than four functioning Sikiru Ayinde Barrister fans clubs on facebook today. Namely, Chief (Dr) Sikiru Ayinde Barrister Fans’ Club, The Ayinde Barrister Legacy Club, Barry Wonder Fans’ Club, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister (Mr Fuji) Fans Club, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister Music Lovers Club. I’m a bonafide and an executive member of three out of the five above mentioned. You can search for any of them on facebook !
He was the only musician that started with the name God and rounded up appreciation to Allah, his family, his fans, his organisation, those that worked with him. In fact, it was a farewell album and that was his last. Alhaji knew he was going to die, that was why he released that record with farewell message.
pls what is the title?
Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Balogun was the best musician of all times. He was the only musician in Nigeria with most international wards. For instance, Musical Legend of Commonwealth (MLC) presented to him by the then Secretary General of Commonwealth, Dr Emeka Anyaoku, Africa International Music Ambassador, Dr of Music (Hons) UCLA. He was rare music Genius. An unequalled music wizard, a music ambassador plenipotentiary. A man with bundle of music talents.
BARRY… once a century genius.
Alhaji Agba is not dead. For lovers of music generally, be you a christian or muslim or even pagan, as long as you love good music in Yoruba language, you must reckon with Barrister’s music.
I started listening to his music when my late brother (a military man) used to buy his records in late 60s and since then, there had been no going back.
I recommend that there should be a body that will compile ALL his records – I mean EVERYTHING – and let us have them- maybe in a few CDs. It’s been done for Fela’s records.
Also, let us continue to promote these records because they’ll continue to be relevant to life and living.
As for music, NOBODY can fill the vacuum created by his demise.
My mum (of blessed memory) would say “Orin ti tan nikun, o ku aroye).
My only regret about SAB’s death is that I was unable to have him play for me live.
I would have relished the memory for live, but then………
Oh my brother, that oppourtunity, the providence; did not give me too.
As to his legacy, nobody was able to march his march-less skill in his trade, he was simply unequalled even till now. Adieu Mr Fuji, we are still missing you.
since the departure of The Great Fuji Creator no musician as fill the gap indeed he is a talented musician who preach the word of God via music, infact it music settle dispute among friends, family also unite couples. if there is an opportunity of another chance i pray that the great musician and my father be grant the previledge so my wish will comes reality
I got to know him long after his demise; followed his trajectory: so much genius, a far better voice melded with wisdom— both native and acquired— embellishes his songs, makes him a far better entertainer and poet. This is the little homage I could pay a hero who died before I recognize his brilliance. Live on wherever your songs live.
lol….tosin u must be one of those guys born in the 90s,…..ALHAJI BARRISTER was the best fuji musician in Nigeria since he founded that genre of music, he was very popular that even as far as the northern part of the country acknowledge his musical talent and he was given chieftancy titles in the north, infact some of his music was in hausa dialect, he preaches the gospel and in musical tone no one ha ever done that, i guess you need to listen to some of his album where he sangs mixing yoruba, hausa, igbo and even English, as a retired sergeant from the Nigerian army he i’m still collecting his albums, another musician with such a great quality was Ayinla Omo Wura, check him out and his radical ways of singing….those guys were so cool
Barry, how I wish R.I.P means “Return If Possible”. I named my son Ayinde, in demonstration of my love for you and your brand of Music. My mum loved you so much because of the way you praise and celebrated your mum in many albums and life plays. Ha! Ayinde ogun, emo ku, oju opo di. Akirimojo ku, enu isa nsofo. Ketekete ku iso pin. Adeyinka ku, o lo pelu opon orin, o lo pelu adun ohun. O di gbereooooooooo.
What a pity, we all loved him but, may be, the good Lord has a higher assignments for him up there, hence his demise. We are still missing you, Agbaje Lola.
can esikay die?very,very impossible, His work lives on. Alhaji not only entertains, he teaches, motivates, settles homes, soothes vexing nerves, preaches —— name it.
I have over 100 albums of SAB, however I ‘ve not been able to lay my hands on some. e.g. Fuji reggae series 1, u will know this album if u have bn following barrister since 70s(fuji regee tamu de lati ilu oba, ohun nikan lamu wa lati london———) then another one of recent ‘ve forgotten the title in it he sang Ola oluwa lawa ma mi wa oh, ola oluwa anu oluwa, idunu oluwa lawa ma mind wa oh, it should be in early 90s.
can any one help out, or we tell lati alagbada or abioro record to produce them out.
I had Fuji Reggae Series 1 in mp3 format, I’m not sure if cassette & Audio CD format is still available in the market.5

Im yet to be consoled over the death of my friend Barry. I dont want to listen to his music again or play his video because, anytime i do, i always weep profusely and couldn’t eat 4 that day. Im yet to believe that my Barry is gone. I wish he ressurects now…… Haba death!!!
