The most legendarygateman in Nigeria and the world, Musa sat down with Satayareporters.com for a no holds barred interview about his life. And yes, he did answer the question that has been asked a million times by Nigerians, “WETIN MUSA NO GO SEE FOR GATE?”. We could not wait to delve into the life of this legend that has inspired millions of gatemen all over the world. The man is indeed a living legend. He is the Founder of the annual ‘The Gate is my Life’, conference held in Abuja yearly. He came up with the terms “oga no dey”, “madam no dey”, “oga e travel”, “madam I don travel” and many more. His son Adamu is also a legend in his own right, and he popped in to praise his dad for teaching him the skills of manning the gate. So to the legendary question, “wetin musa no go see for get?’, he simply smiled and said ” I don see everything”. Impressive! Do you know how good you have to be as a gateman to confidently say you have seen everything? This answer left our reporter speechless, and when she finally recovered she asked him one last question. He was asked to share with Nigerians and the world, one thing he has seen at the gate that impressed him. He went on to tell the story about a gateman in Ikoyi, Lagos who mastered the skill of sleeping while standing up. This gateman is his son Adamu. What an impressive family. He went on to lament abut how Nigerians disrespect gatemen, forgeting that gatemen ae literally the gatekeepers. You go through the gateman to see oga, and if you don’t show resect you will never see oga. Word to the wise.
