Wild Jubilation As NURTW Reconciles Pasuma, Osupa

Many rival fans of two of Nigeria’s great Fuji artistes, Ajibola Alabi Pasuma and Saheed Osupa could not believe their eyes, when the artistes embraced each other in a brotherly manner at an event in Ibadan, Oyo.

The two ‘rival’ musicians were invited to the Ramadan lecture put together by the Oyo State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, in Ibadan last week Thursday and they were both seated together at the event.

Other invited guests at the lecture were surprised to see Pasuma and Osupa chatting together during the event.

Shortly after, news and pictures started flying on the internet about the ‘rare’ reconciliation, and the internet and key fan bases of the respective musicians went agog.

While the reconciliation was celebrated by their different supporters, some others expressed reservations.

Pasuma and Osupa are known rivals in the Fuji circle, and they take have taken their rivalry to their appellations.

When Pasuma called himself Oganla, Osupa chose to be called Obanla.
