Gospel music styled secular singer,
Yinka Ayefele left Nigeria on September 2nd with a 14-man band for a six-week musical
tour of the US, which took them
to New York, Washington, Houston, Atlanta, Baltimore, Maryland and
Dallas. He returned to Nigeria this week with three band members missing. The three missing men according to a petition filed by Ayefele are:
1. The lead vocalist of Ayefele’s Merry-Makers
Band, Solomon Motimoke popularly known as ‘Yatty’ who dumped the band while they were in
Washington DC on 11th October.
2. Ojoyido Adegbenga Ezekiel (Keyboardist), who disappeared at the band’s hotel
at Howard Johnson Inn on Rockaway Boulevard, New York on Tuesday, 15th
October
3. Olusola Kayode
Isaac (vocalist), who disappeared at the La-Guardiala Airport, New York on Monday, 14th October
on his way from Houston.
Yinke Ayefele has written to the US Homeland Security, asking them to track and deport these men.

ReplyDeleteThe guys funny ooooo......Valentinology
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, if they are well paid in the band, will they desert?
laffs in Chinese...naija no dey dull. they look malnourished what do u expect
ReplyDeleteGoing abroad is a fashion for nigerians.Everybody want to go there to puff and wash plates.They dont know that without green card and work permit they are just a rolling stone.The reasons nigerians who travelled to europe ended up in the prison is because many of them cant get a job because of they dont have work permit.so they become pickpocket,car snatching,cocain pusher and armed robbers.nigerians should be enlighten that it is not greener if you are a black man.
ReplyDeleteIt shows u r uninformed, u can work in U.S without work permit. So hw the hell do people who go there n stay over there for some time get their work permit. I've heard of a bank manager that left Nigeria for America b4.... It's about seeing the fact that u can make it better over there. America and Canada are lands of opportunity. I don't know about Europe. An American with an average standard of living enjoys life better than a Nigeria with a high standard of living. If u like be dangote, that doesn't nt stop Phcn from taking the light. I knw u will want to say they use standby generators, u knw what, poorest americans don't av to waste their resources and energy in getting a gen to work. That's a small illustration. We pray for a better Nigeria.
DeleteYou are damn right. The rich Nigerians still live in fenced homes, locked behind heavy gates, surrounded by guards and heavily armed men. They cannot move or drive around freely even in their neighbourhoods, not because they are celebs but because they cannot guarantee security of their lives. Even getting help during medical emergency, whosai...they wait for long flights to Europe or US. Then talk about the average and poor nigerians, from darkness to bad roads to low income to injustice to insecurity to poor education for their children to unhealthy env with musquitoes and untended open smelly gutters to inflation to religious deceit to unrealised dreams and finally low life expectancy and untimely death. Is this a country to be proud of? Perhaps not yet.
DeleteU re on point, u took d words out of my mouth.
DeleteLol. Won ti ka n le.
ReplyDelete=))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º=)) Baddest naija guyz ever liveth,,,opportunity cum but once,dey wanna mk gud use! 4surez naija no dey carry last nau!

ReplyDeleteREad more interesting Naija gossip and nollywood gist here

ReplyDeleteYinka ayefele...bad belle man, wetin concern you; why you one put salt for their tea.. Yoruba people are very wicked, see them spoilin this country's image
ReplyDeleteSharp Naija boys......looking for greener pastures.
ReplyDeleteThe US homeland cannot depot them now until their valid visa expired.Except they are caught in criminal act, they may have gone into US recesses for aeon.They will be doing odd job, but since they are musicians things may work out fine for them.What they ahve forgotten is that if they had returned, even if it is single entry the can reapply and may get visa easily again.I am bewildered with this scenario as Yinka may not have the opportunity to take his band boy to US easily again. Stephen
ReplyDeleteThey didn't anything strange,if na me I go run o
ReplyDeleteThis guys must have planeed this act right frm 9ja, wish them luck in whatever they feel they are looking for.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNigerians sha, d boys don piante.

ReplyDeleteWhy shd yinka do dat,make e leave d men joo.Mrs C
ReplyDeleteAyefele has not told us the whole story. Yatty jumping ship? He's as important in the band as Ayefele himself!

ReplyDeleteThe guys no try at all. Definitely, they wil b deported. They want to mess up innocent Ayefele who gave them the oportunity to breathe fresh air in the US.
ReplyDeleteLmao!!! If only they knew how much harder it is to be illegal in the US now. But the story is very funny though lol
ReplyDeletethat is the consequence of not treating band members well, i go miss yatty and odoyido
ReplyDeleteOmo see sharp guys o,Naija musicians wuld now stop takn dia band members abroad cos na disappearn tins e go be. Lwkmd.
ReplyDeleteBad belle Ayefele. Dis boys want a 'better' life. Why you wan deport dem? Make dem try their luck na.

ReplyDelete=))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º=)) foolishness.
ReplyDeletelol.....greener pastures
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Bye bye to poverty!!
ReplyDeleteI won't blame those guyz cos leaving in 9ja is hell. So Yinka shuld chill & stp d nonsense is saying dat US shuld track & depot dem.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o... If its me I will run o, to be honest.. Opportunity comes but once. That was how my aunty travelled abroad, she used to be sunny okosun's back-up singer those days. Well she was lucky. But this their Oga is harsh o.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha make he liv dem jor,opportunity cums bt once!!!
ReplyDeleteGudluck to them coz it's better there o jare! If na me,I won't come back.
ReplyDeleteLinda are u sure about this? I know ojoyido and yatty very well. These boyz are very doing very great here and ayefele treats them well. This boyz stunt well with big cars in town. I don't believe this shit!!! Publish dis ooo linda
ReplyDeleteloolz i laf in chinese this guys no wan come back to naija hell if na me i go do the same
ReplyDeleteHahhahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteit s kinda funny, who will enter U.S free of charge & stil decide 2 come and suffer.? Nija boys wise pass that now.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't feel bad that ayefele wrote to the homeland security to deport these men, because they will implicate him. They were under his guidance and now have escaped. Im sure he reported to let the u.s govt know that he is not responsible for them disappearing. Why would they want to put sand in his garri?
ReplyDeleteWhy would those guys runaway it will now seem that ayefele brings boys to America and then they run away. I see his point.
ReplyDeleteBetter! That serves them right!
ReplyDeleterunning from suffering
ReplyDeleteIt shows that this dude doesn't pay them well cos if he does they won't have any reason to run simple
ReplyDeleteThey run for their own life...and for the American government welcome to ultimate search part 3..pls contact jack barwer....wwbwb
ReplyDeleteLol. Niger no dey carry last. Wrong move sha. They will not be allowed into US in a long while if they eventually catch them.
ReplyDeleteWhen it gets to a time wen ppl run away frm dr country, a time this, then u shud pray.
ReplyDeleteWhen it gets to a time wen ppl run frm dr country, a time like this, then u shud pray.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteHahaha,is kinda funny. seems dissapearin was the plan 4rm 9ja when they reach utd states.they shldn't av done dat at all coz if dey don't av a very good plan 4rm 9ja,they will soon be deported....beggin to get their job back.

ReplyDeleteLmaooooooooo.... please yinke don't spoil their waka.dey wan be American citizen.
ReplyDeleteNigerians ll always disgrace us in foreign countries. US visa go hard na o. Hian. Dey ll b deported. I pray they cops dnt nab them.
ReplyDeleteTrynna run from BHM? Buh are the all bachelors?
ReplyDeleteThey have gone for greener pastures. Hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing after reading the blog. It's likely the 3 band member wanted a better life and a better future for themselves. Absconding from trips abroad didn't just start today, I remember vividly when some Nigerian fans at the Under 17 world-cup did the same act in far away Trindad and Tobago. Although, it may seems to have destroyed the singer reputation, but from the other point of view, haba, the want a better life
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I̶̲̥̅̊ D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ beleive 9ja peeps. Make dem go play ball if dem gσσ∂ dem go keep dem. Once again lolm
ReplyDeleteif Ayefele had been nice to dem they won't leave him. I know yatty so well. he served ayefele 4 long and nofin to show 4 it. well dey also ve a case against him, did he pay dem d legitimate US minimum wage?
ReplyDeleteI know d guys did something wrong but the yinka guy sef doesn't have sense, he thinks by dem deporting him US will praise him? Dey will never give him visa bcos it's bcos of him d three men stayed bk...
ReplyDeleteTerrible mistake that will hunt them for a while. Bad advice.
ReplyDeleteold news this has been online since thursday... another news
ReplyDeleteLobatan
ReplyDeleteLolz!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm! Not 2 good 4 naija immigration records.
ReplyDeleteIt's an act of wickedness from Yinka, why not let them be... If he has truly reported them to Homeland, there is no need they stay behind. They should just go back Jeje. Na advice be that.
ReplyDeleteWow dis is wat I knw.i play instrument n I knw wat the lead used to do,taken you travel from lagos Nigeria to USA given u $100 y we dat we he here taken $250 per show.....the three guys didnt know wat to take to be in America
ReplyDeleteSorry bro ayefele homeland will not do anytin to dem,they will not look for dem...God b with dem
Deport them ke?bia guys if na for hole make una hide till the wind calms down.#sharpnessnadekoko#bia Linda publish my comment o
ReplyDeleteHmmmm something must've seriously been a reason for disappearance. This is not the first time that these guys have travelled to the US. I first remember meeting them in 2008. This article just has me speechless...Hmmmm I only wonder.
ReplyDeleteAnd Yatty features are so distinct you can spot him a mile away...So I wonder what is really the plan and do each of the guys know where the other is...and who is going to rat who out. I just pray all turns out well. These people also have families.
Lolz.. What waz he thinking? Those guys did well jare... Make dem go start their life for yankee..
ReplyDeleteD ppl sayin y did he report dem are funny! Dnt u knw d implication it wud av on him wen he is comin bck to dis same country to perform again? Morover it is betrayal on their part to av left d band and run, weda it is for greener pastures or not,one tin about stayin abroad is dat if u dnt av a work permit u are not goin to make ot, they wil end up hiding and regrettin de ran at d first place cos dem no go fit de inconvenience ppl with their problems,bad as it may sound,ayefele reported dem bcos dat is d right tin to do so it dsnt look lik he was part of their plan! So tink bfor u comment
ReplyDeleteCom to tink of it,nigerians are alwys involved in crime in western world,they are always in d news for bad reasons, right now in d uk,they are about bringin in almost 500prisoners bck to naija to serve in naija prisons..naija I hail thee!
ReplyDeleteSharp men sha, but no be for America they for do that kind thing sha, cos e no go take a month to catch them....
ReplyDeletethere is nothing special in this yankee
ReplyDeleteAll you here laughing are fools and should be ashamed of your selfs......after you will be wondering why they treat Nigerians like shit when you want to apply for a visa......am sure some of them will soon run back like wet chickens when they see it is not easy to live abroad without papers......foolish boys
ReplyDeleteNot soooo smart move band guys... U should hv gone about it in a better way.... Once deported.. Dat ruins their possible chance of returning maybe after 10 years..hmmm
ReplyDeleteLol. Ayefele's pain. I wonder ayefele's music without yatty and yido who is one of the best if not the best keyboardist in ibadan. Ayefele's song will be soooo gentle without this boyz. That's his pain. This boyz have travelled with him several times . Europe, America, Canada n so on. So something must have gone wrong. Yido has 2 exotic cars, a family, a very big studio. So something is wrong somewhere....
ReplyDeleteHenhen Yatty don gbe ja lol.
ReplyDelete
