Wealth is the lifeblood of any entertainment ecosystem.
In the 80’s, dirty money from drug dealers and fraudsters ruled and funded Nigerian entertainment. Fuji, Juju and Apala artists would hail Nigerian celebrities and socialites across the world because from those men came the real money.
At Nigerian parties, the 90’s trend was to spray foreign currencies at parties. This was how men of the underworld flaunted their opulent lifestyles.

Fuji music icon, General Ayinla Kollington, has narrated how he escaped being attacked by some of his music rivals and antagonists while he was under the tutelage of his late musical godfather, Ayinla Yusuf, popularly known as Ayinla Omowura.
The late Apala legend who died over 40 years ago at the peak of his career is considered to be one of the most original Yoruba singers of post-colonial Nigeria who gained notoriety in South-West Nigeria in the 70s.
In a biography about Omowura, titled ‘Ayinla Omowura Life and Times of an Apala legend’ written by media intellectual and lawyer, Festus Adedayo, Kollington succinctly reminisced on some of his musical escapades with his godfather and revealed that he was fortified with juju by the latter after a widely successful album that was a response to Fatai Olowonyo, arch-rival of Omowura.
