Ayinde Barrister’s widows speak on remarrying 11 years after his death

Over eleven years after the death of the founder of Fuji genre of music, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, some of his widows are considering remarrying.

In separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, they unanimously agreed that it was difficult to fill the vacuum the late Fuji crooner left.

One of the widows, Kehinde Balogun, 50, told NAN that finding a good man after the demise of her late husband was tough.

“It’s not easy, but should a good man come along, I will remarry. It is not easy to come across truthful men these days.

“I was quiet young when I got married to Alhaji and losing him hasn’t been easy, but we can’t question God.

“Being a widow hasn’t been easy but God has been faithful, with the support of family and friends,” she said.

Expressing a similar view was Oluwayemisi Balogun, 50-year-old. She told NAN that if it was God’s will for her to remarry, she will.

“In life, you never say never. You don’t know what God has destined for you, so it is important to always focus on the will of God.

“If God says I’d remarry, so be it. Marriage is a union that God created and like most women I’d want that too,” she said.
