Mhoro,
I have been hibernating for some
weeks now; however before I go into today’s discourse, I’ve come to you in
Shona language of Zimbabwe; that’s how far I can go to bring you greetings, ‘Mhoro’ means ‘hi’.
Today’s title is just metaphor of
any creative endeavour. Many people from the South-West of Nigeria know about
Pa Fatai Olagunju popularly called Fatai Rolling Dollar, the ‘Won kere si number wa’ Crooner. He was
born in 1927 and he died in 2013. However, he trained the maestro like Ebenezer
Obey and Orlando Owoh. He went into obscurity for some years before he came back
to limelight and he remained in the spotlight till the end of his life. Let’s
us think together of writing versus bestseller.
