'The day I K Dairo saw 'Satan' in London.
I K Dairo started his music career at the age of 8. He was at some time a hairdresser and a petty trader.
On
a musical tour to London, he fled from a theatre after a 10 minute
stay. He had seen 'satan'- scantily dressed people!!! His words' this
kind of life will never be practised here in Nigeria'. He believed this
would never be acceptable in Nigeria.
He returned from the trip
with a new message for Nigerian women- ' the Gods are in the warpath
against womanhood for its shameful drift to diminutive and immoral
dressing'.
