Lagbaja has finally opened up in response to interviews purportedly granted by Sunday Are.In the interviews,he claims and insinuates,amongst other things,to have made Lagbaja,created Lagbaja,managed Lagbaja,been the brain behind Lagbaja,set up Lagbaja’s band,took Lagbaja to Sony Music,pushed Lagbaja into the 3 Million Naira class,compelled Lagbaja to wear the mask etc.
He also made all sorts of claims about Majek,Asa,Jazzville,King Sunny Ade etc.
In a recent press release,Lagbaja said I feel a little shame that I would sink as low as to respond to the megalomaniac rant of Sunday Are.I typically would never respond to such,for I live by a different code.For one thing,issues like this are too mundane and vain to waste the precious gift of time on.
However,this is the second time in a few months that someone would point my attention to his interviews where he concocts all kinds of absurb stories and insinuations about his role in “making” Lagbaja.Brazenly repeating these absolute lies makes me believe that he might have quite a sinister agenda.My best guess is that he is out to scam naïve and unsuspecting young artistes with his fraudulent claims of a glorious influential past.
Or,maybe he wishes to scam some expatriate “mugu” or swindle on an international scale.This is a calculated image laundering campaign.People…Beware! These are probably the sort of absolute lies that he has used to swindle his way into the affairs of people he has been working with and controlling in recent times.
It is likely that he has successfully fooled them into believing his “very important” past and is now basking in the glory and proceeds he has reaped from his deceit.It is not difficult to see how some half truths,a little smooth talk,spiced with some circumstantial tales,backed with some imaginative name dropping have put him in manipulative control of his protégés.
His campaign is completely fraudulent.
The simple truth is that,he was only a sound engineering apprentice for live concerts with Lagbaja’s band.Nothing more.
He makes similar outlandish claims about several others.I hope they would speak up if his stories about his relationships with them are untrue.If we all ignore him,keeping a dignified silence,he would eventually succeed in deceiving the general public with his well orchestrated fabrications.
Let me simply state unequivocally that every single claim that Sunday Are made in these articles about his role with Lagbaja,is an absolute lie.Every single one.Never happened.Nauseating.If he could make up such stories about his time with Lagabja,my suspicion is that his references to Majek,Asa,Muyiwa,King Sunny Ade etc.are also false twisted stories.
I would love to hear what they have to say about his tales and I hope someone would actually take the time to unearth the truth by interviewing them.
Who knows,maybe he “made” them as he insinuates,but as for Lagbaja…his imagination is laughable!
As has been happening over the years,by the grace of God,I continue to be blessed in receiving valuable advice,help,support,guidance etc.in many forms from all manner of people.
Sunday Are has never been one of them.He should wake up from his delirious wishful thinking and delusions of grandeur.
Sunday!”Big Man”,it is time to wake up from your troubled stupor.Quit fantasizing about a past that never happened.A glorious future might still be possible but only if you would stop living on deceit.Maga fit pay small…but that’s only for a while…e no dey last!
