Ahuja Bello and his gun shaped guitar is photo of the day

juju musician Ahuja Bello
Ahuja Bello,the Nigerian juju musician was a big star back in the 70s and 80s.Back in the day,indigenous Nigerian musicians were like rock stars and they all had their signature.Victor Uwaifo had his double guitar which was given to him by a mermaid AKA Mammy Water.Fela had his girls and topless persona on stage,Oliver De Coque had his beard and feathered hats,Dele Abiodun never left home without his huge afro,Chris Okotie was a
Michael Jackson reincarnation,Felix Lebarty had his tight leather trousers to count on,Ebenezer Obey was the ever smiling Chief Commander,Emperor Pick Peters was not only an Emperor,but also had a dog that haunts down his musical rivals,King Sunny Ade was the Master Guitarist who displaced people's spinal cords with his guitar wizardry and Ahuja Bello had this guitar that was shaped like a gun! Those guys had real swagga,and it was all authentic undiluted Nigerian and African music!

Ahuja Bello biography.
Sadly Ahuja had a nasty car accident that almost killed him and curtailed his career at his very peak.I hear he still does the occasional show today,but i don't think that guitar survived the times,would like to know where it is right now. :)
