'The day I K Dairo saw 'Satan' in London 1971

'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'.


Sunday Times 1971
