‘It’s an insult to ask when I’ll retire from music ‘ -Sir Victor Uwaifo

Sir Victor Uwaifo is so not happy with the question about how soon is he leaving the entertainment circle, because he sure has more surprises and not thinking of retirement anytime soon.
The 74-year-old instrumentalist made this known during a chat with entertainment journalists in Lagos while stating that it’s insulting to ask him when he’s going to quit music. ‘At 74, I am just starting, 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,’ he said. Speaking further, the ‘Joromi’ singer said: ‘I was 12 when I started stringing the guitar because I discovered music quite early.

Going on he said ‘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.’ The legendary musician is gearing up for the Eargasm Concert coming up at the Thisday Dome in Abuja on Sunday, July 26, 2015.

He will join 2face, Shina Peters, Niyola and Dammy Krane at the event…
