Ara is broken hearted. No, it is not about her marriage that crashed
some time ago.
Ara is still shattered concerning the death of Deji
Falae, the former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Ondo State, who
was among those that died on the ill-fated Associated Airline on
October, 3, 2013.
Falae would have been a year older last Wednesday and the drummer girl
couldn't forget easily how she surprised him on his birthday, last year.
While reminiscing about his last birthday, Ara told Saturday Beats
that she had his favourite musician, 9ice, call to wish Falae a happy
birthday. She said the young man loved the surprise and was grateful.
The singer who used a picture of Falae as her display picture on
Blackberry on Wednesday wrote on her personal message, "Happy Birthday
Ayodeji Falae... This day was so special last year. I called 9ice your
favourite artiste to give you a surprise happy birthday call, you loved
it."
Still shocked and sad about his demise, Ara said had he lived till
Wednesday (his birthday), she had already planned another surprise for
him. She said, "I would have got a few of my band members to surprise
him with early morning chanting of his panegyric (oriki) and drumming. You know he was a prince."
So sad, RIP Deji
