Dr Olukoya’s Unbridled love for Music will bring my Dad’s 25 years Dream to Fruition
By Bimbo Esho
If there is any lesson I have learnt in life it is to share our *vision* and *dream* with like minds so it doesn’t die with us.
Over the years I have watched how many individuals reach the peak of their career and fame but end up dying without achieving their dreams.
Recalling the very first day my dad met with Dr Olukoya to discuss the *Evergreen Project* he said Dr Olukoya told him that he was 100% interested in the project.
There is no doubt that both men have intense and undiluted love for music. They have over the years selflessly given so much in ensuring that the Evergreens don’t go into extinction.
I have always had the conviction that the collaboration between these great men would birthe that which generations will benefit from.
Aside Dr Olukoya being an accomplished and respected preacher of the word and leading one of the most popular churches in Nigeria today *(MFM)* with branches growing in leaps and bounds his love for music seems unmatchable .
*Dr Olukoya teaches music, wrote his first song in 1976 and his church choir is widely regarded as one of the best in the world, having won several international choir competitions in Europe and other parts of the world. He has supported many musicians in achieving their goals. He breathes, drink and eat quality music .Today he has over 200 hymns and songs to his credit.*
Dr Olukoya who is the *patron* of the *Evergreen Music Heritage Foundation* has shown us that his word is his bond. His consistency in ensuring that my dad’s dream of 25 years is brought to fruition is mind blowing . Not only has he used his goodwill together with ours to ensure we secure a *magnificent edifice* that perfectly matches the Evergreen Dream his *financial and moral contribution has been invaluable.*
The edifice situated in *Anthony Village, Lagos* on completion will be an *Experience Center* where people in and outside Nigeria will be privileged to see our country's musical worth and history. *There will be on display music from 1914, musical relics( old musical instruments/equipments, head bust of artistes, original vinyl of artistes, books, documentaries, cassettes, reel to reel, gramophone as old as 100 years, journals, cassettes, etc). Also the edifice shall have a music studio, a theatre, an event hall for meetings and concerts, etc*
For me I believe this should be one of our contributions to humanity and posterity
We are therefore calling on all music enthusiasts and like minds all over the world to come support this laudable project that will no doubt be a contribution to a legacy that will sustain generations . We are also using this opportunity to thank those who have been supportive of this project till date

The group consists of like mind friends and business partners.
Speaking with the club president Mr. Olanrewaju Akeem Oladele on behalf of the members, we were made to understand giving for the club is more like a divine calling which cannot be ignored, reason each club members raise funds from their personal purse to accomplish any set charitable projects.
He stated, the gesture is beyond an annual scheme as it was recently recorded that the pupils of the prestigious Vetland Grammar School, Oko oba, Agege benefitted several desk and chairs and other items in continuation to the foundation's last year program of reaching out to market women, the widows and the less privileged as the foundation still had ongoing plans to donate relief materials to some orphanage homes before end of the year.
Further speaking with our correspondent, he expressed the foundation's desire to spread the arms of philanthropism across Nigeria as their operation is still limited to Lagos state.
The twenty seven membership club is said to be open to collaborations from inspiring individuals, financial institutions and the government.
Also at the event was the club's public relations officer, Mr. Oluwole Christopher Tugbobo who emphasizes how much of an impact has been made in society by the club since previous years and expressed the regrets of not having proper documentation as they are not doing this to create an impression in public's eye other than having a positive imprints on humanity.
Charity has been our watchword just as the name implies, we see the need for us to be here to make sure the internally generated funds is being properly dispatched by the LASUTH welfare management to its recipients." - said, Tugbobo
Mr. Kayode Araoye, the director of Lasuth social welfare department alongside a fellow social welfare officer Mr. Jamiu Idris expressed their gratitude to the Charitable Wisemen Club Of Nigeria as they promised the funds will be appropriately shared across board to the needy such as the children, medical, surgical and O&G
The department encouraged the Charitable Wisemen Club Of Nigeria and other aspiring organizations to emulate good steps such as this.

Among them, Nigerians are particularly captivated by this trend, going to extreme lengths to establish new benchmarks.

Don Jazzy Revealed That Daddy Showkey And Baba Fryo Are His Role Models
Veteran producer and singer, Michael Collins Ajereh aka Don Jazzy has revealed that his role model while growing up in Ajegunle, was legendary musician Daddy Showkey.
The Mavins record label boss said Daddy Showkey and “Dem go dey pose” crooner Baba Fryo were his inspiration to pursue music.
Don Jazzy started his music career in church as an instrumentalist because he couldn’t afford studio sessions.
The music executive disclosed this while featuring as a guest on the latest episode of the Leaderboard podcast hosted by Fisayo Fosudo.
He said: “My music inspiration started from Ajegunle because of dem Daddy Showkey, dem Baba Fryo, a lot of all these Ajegunle musicians that we looked up to.
“I used to tell my guys that when I started making music, I pretty much just wanted to blow and be Daddy Showkey because anywhere you went to in the country, you would hear, ‘If you see my mama, Hosanna’ or ‘Somebody call my name, Showkey.’
“Trust me, the lyrics are national anthems. I pretty much wanted to do that. So, I used to go to church and play instruments. It was the only place that you can….Unless you want to go to studios which would cost money. At that time, we couldn’t afford to have sessions.
“So, the best place that you can get free equipment is the church. Instead of doing the reggae, the reggae, you go and do gospel first”, he said.
