I’m just 74, don’t ask me when I will retire from music – Victor Uwaifo
Nigerian Music Maestro, Sir Victor Uwaifo has revealed he will still be performing till he’s over 90 years of age.
The singer who is 74 and going on 75 told Journalist at a recent media parley that it is an insult to ask when
he will bow out as he will not be dropping off the scene any time soon.
In his own words, “At 74, I am just stating, I will soon be 75 but I intend doing this till I’m 90 or even more. It is even offensive asking me if I would retire soon.”
The multi-instrumentalist further revealed he stuck to music even though his parents kicked against it from the beginning.
He said, “I was 12 when I started stringing the guitar because I discovered music quite early. Although my parents were not comfortable with me doing music because they wanted me to focus on my studies. I however believe when you discover your talent doesn’t matter but (it’s) how you are able to utilise.”
Sir Uwaifo who is popular for his smash hit single ‘Joromi’ will be performing at the Eargasm Concert slated for Sunday, July 26, 2015 at the prestigious Thisday Dome in Abuja.
