love diaryI have never really considered myself an interesting person, though my friends and close pals might think otherwise, I know it goes beyond what they see. I’d rather not do the talking, and let my diary convince you about this fact, so here goes;

Today was so hectic. I finally settled into my apartment as a student. I know I should be happy, but at this moment, I feel indifferent. I met a couple of my secondary school mates, and it felt awkward. Thank God I opted for an apartment outside the school, If not, I might have felt worse. I really like my space, I also like the idea of documenting my thoughts at the end of each day, and staying in a shared space, hmm…I’m not so sure I won’t get mocked. Anyways, I’m super tired and my eyes feel heavy. Hopefully, the next five years would be the best of my already boring life. xoxo

As much as I’d like to say I’m getting a hang of school…I’m not! and it’s freaking me out! There are so many things to catch up with, and Lagos is the worst place to remain sane. Ok. I’ll try to stay calm. I promised to put down my thoughts every night, but in three days, I haven’t even had time for myself. Its been from one registration point to another, and I’m totally exhausted to say the least. I wish I had a boyfriend though, there’s no one to vent all this excess anger on, and I’m very pissed. Whoever said University life was fun? I don’t know what this is, but I’m not sure I can last here for too long! I want to go home!!!!!!!! xoxo

Hey diary, (that’s so cliche, but I feel so vulnerable right now, so please allow me)I shed my first ‘uni tears’ today. I didn’t expect it this soon though. The worst part is I had to rush to the restroom to cry!!! How humiliating. I know Its no one’s fault that I have no friends yet, but please give me a break! I’m just 3 days old in this school! 

I got to my first lecture late, and it seemed like the party was almost over. I mean, all my coursemates had already settled in and were taking notes, while I briskly walked in. Rather than let me pass, the lecturer, (Who I heard them call “Mr. Samba”) stopped me and told me to approach the front of the class, where he stood. 

As I coyly walked past, I remembered I had worn my favorite chiffon blouse with the vertical net design placed slightly above my cleavage area, and the bad news was I hadn’t worn a camisole either!  I had forgotten to wear one, and since I wasn’t aware of my undignifying coronation in front of the class, I decided to go with the flow, since I had already left my apartment. You know this is an issue for me because I’m busty!

I had a gut feeling that was what attracted Mr. Samba. As I drew closer, he let on a sheepish smile, and I knew I was in a bit of a mess. He told me to face the class, and introduce myself, adding that my mates had already done so. 

I muttered something past my breath, and the whole class went silent. My heart was pounding. What else should I say? Mr. Samba simply looked at me and said; “You’re too shy, you can’t even say your name, anyway, there is a spot for you besides that guy with glasses. He is just like you. He is your new boyfriend. If either of you misses my class, there would be serious consequences, and you MUST always sit together during my class. 

I glanced over at the guy he paired me with, and when the guy noticed I looked in his direction, he smiled at me, that was when I realized his front teeth were missing. I wanted the ground to swallow me. Immediately after the class, I had to rush to the toilet to cry…

Nigerian music industry is mourning the loss of one of its cultural giants. Alhaji Ismaila Dele Bello, popularly known as Ahuja Bello, passed away on Monday, August 25, 2025, at the age of 83. His son, Adetunji Bello, confirmed the sad news, revealing that the juju legend died peacefully in his sleep—just a day after celebrating his birthday. For many Nigerians, especially those who lived through the golden era of the 1970s and 1980s, the name Ahuja Bello evokes nostalgia. His music was the sound of celebration, a rhythm that echoed at weddings, naming ceremonies, and late-night parties. His passing is not only a personal loss for his family but also a cultural one for Nigeria’s rich musical heritage. Born on August 24, 1942, in Iseyin, Oyo State, Ahuja Bello was destined for music. Juju, a genre deeply rooted in Yoruba tradition, became the canvas on which he painted his artistry. Unlike many who treated music as a side hustle, Bello embraced it as a calling. By the mid-1970s, Bello had carved a niche for himself with his energetic stage performances, rich guitar work, and soulful lyrics. He was not just a performer; he was an experience. Fans adored his ability to connect with the crowd, blending traditional Yoruba rhythms with modern influences that kept his sound refreshing and timeless. Top 5 Most Visited Countries For Tourism Worldwide - JennySoul.com The 1970s and 1980s were a defining period for juju music, with legends like King Sunny Adé and Chief Ebenezer Obey dominating the scene. Yet, Ahuja Bello held his ground, building a loyal following that admired his originality and charisma. His concerts were more than entertainment—they were community gatherings. Every strum of his guitar carried messages of joy, resilience, and cultural pride. For many families, his songs became the soundtrack of their most memorable life events. One of the highlights of his career was his encounter with reggae icon Bob Marley during a trip to London. Though brief, this meeting symbolized the global relevance of Nigerian music long before the Afrobeats wave. Bello’s artistry showed that African sounds had the power to resonate beyond borders. Tragedy struck in 1982, when Ahuja Bello was involved in a serious accident. At the time, he was at the height of his career, commanding large crowds and dominating the juju scene. The accident slowed his performances and significantly altered his musical journey. For many musicians, such a setback might have marked the end. But Bello’s earlier contributions had already etched his name into Nigerian music history. Even though his stage appearances became limited, his influence continued. His recordings lived on, and his legacy inspired younger artists who admired his dedication to the craft. The death of Ahuja Bello is not just the passing of a man—it is the closing of a chapter in Nigeria’s musical story. His life represents an era when juju music carried social messages, celebrated culture, and served as a unifying force for communities. For older generations, Bello’s passing feels deeply personal. His music was woven into everyday life, from radio airwaves to live performances at social gatherings. For younger Nigerians, his story is a reminder of the roots of contemporary Nigerian music, proving that today’s Afrobeats giants stand on the shoulders of pioneers like him. As tributes pour in, fans, fellow musicians, and cultural associations describe Bello as a cultural custodian who never lost sight of his Yoruba identity. His songs celebrated resilience and tradition, ensuring that juju music remained relevant through the decades. Even in death, Bello’s music continues to breathe life into celebrations. His legacy shows that while people may pass, music remains immortal. Every strum of a juju guitar, every drumbeat at a Yoruba gathering, and every nostalgic radio replay will continue to carry Ahuja Bello’s spirit. The passing of Ahuja Bello at 83 is both a moment of mourning and a celebration of a life well lived. From Iseyin to international stages, from local dance halls to cultural milestones, Bello gave Nigerians more than music—he gave them memories. Though his journey was interrupted by tragedy, his impact remains unshaken. His career serves as a reminder that legacy is not measured by longevity alone but by the footprints left on culture. As Nigeria reflects on his contributions, one truth becomes clear: Ahuja Bello may have taken his final bow, but the music never ends. Rest in peace, Ahuja Bello. The juju lives on.
