Singer, Pasuma – Why I Supported My Daughter To Join US Navy

Posted: 30 Dec 2020 12:30 AM PST

After stirring up reactions with the cheering news of his daughter joining the US Navy, popular fuji singer, Wasiu Alabi, aka Pasuma, in a recent interview has revealed why he allowed his daughter become a Navy personel.

During the week Pasuma took to Instagram to post a picture of his daughter wearing military fatigues. He added the caption, "Congratulations to me. My girl, Opeyemi, is now a Navy (personnel) in the United States of America. Congrats my dearest daughter. You always make me and your mum proud. May God guide you in your chosen career.''

When Sunday Scoop reached out to the beloved singer, he maintained that he was very proud of his daughter achievement. He said, "I am proud of her. Any parent would be proud to know that their child has a mindset of service.


"I supported her decision from the beginning. She had been talking about joining the US Navy for some years, so I was not surprised when she eventually enlisted."


The singer also stated that even if his daughter indicated interest in joining the Nigerian Army, he would not have discouraged her. He added, "As a Nigerian, I have the utmost respect for the men and women of the Nigerian military for the selfless work they do. The level of insecurity in the country may initially make any parent feel unsure about their child joining the military. However, there is the risk of danger in almost everything we do in life. Pilots take risks; driving a car or crossing a road also has risks. Being in the military in America too involves risks, so I would not have discouraged her."

Speaking on the influence that the late fuji musician, Barrister (whose 10th death anniversary was recently celebrated), had on his career, Pasuma said, "Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister influenced and has continued to influence many fuji musicians, including me. He consolidated the sounds and melodies of 'were' music into what we now know as 'fuji'. The type of influence Barrister had on me and my music was similar to that of a father and son. He will forever be remembered as one of the artistic legends of Africa."

The self-acclaimed 'Oganla' also noted that during festive seasons, which were his busiest periods, he always prioritised his family and would go home to spend time with them after his performances. He also urged his fans new projects from his Pasuma Wonder Organisation and Wasbar Records.

Legendary Mexican Singer Armando Manzanero Dies Aged 85 After Being Hospitalized With COVID-19

Posted: 29 Dec 2020 09:30 PM PST

After being hospitalized with COVID infection, legendary Mexican singer and composer, Armando Manzanero died.

The 85 years old ballad singer was diagnosed with coronavirus on December 17 and hospitalized at a Mexico City medical facility five days later. He was placed on a ventilator due to shortness of breath and died on Monday, December 28.

His manager, Laura Blum, said his death was caused by complications from a kidney problem.

Blum disclosed that Manzanero will be cremated in Mexico City and his remains will be taken to his hometown of Merida, in Yucatan state.

Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, expressed his condolences and described the late singer as a "man of the people" during a press conference.

"Armando Manzanero was a sensitive man, a man of the people. That's why I lament his death. He was also a great composer," he said.

The singer, whose careers spanned seven decades, was a crooner best known for songs like 'Somos Novios,' which, with translated English lyrics, became the 1970s hit 'It's Impossible' for Perry Como.

Manzanero, who was the president of the Mexican Society of Authors and Composers (Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de México), received the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. In 2014, he also received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in the United States, becoming the first Mexican to receive the honor.

The renowned music composer is survived by seven children, and 16 grandchildren
