I may not be in support of most of his philosophies about life, but I think he has one or two things I can learn from HimA veteran they call him in the music sector, and I think he is.
I grew up hearing his famous track and now that I am of age it seems the song is still having its way.

Today, Rolling Dollar is the oldest musician still playing active music at the age of 86. He is one of the pioneers of Juju music genre in Nigeria.
Years back, it seems like Pa Rolling Dollar was in the nightfall of his career, but he took many by surprise and the Nigerian scene as he stormed back with back with his hit song, 'WON KERE SI NUMBER WA', which became the anthem of young and old, also the song was used as signature tunes for some brand commercials.
