Wasiu Alabi, born on November 27, 1967, also known as "Oganla", is a Nigerian film actor and Fuji musician. The Oganla of Fuji was born to the Odetolas and became a successful musician everyone now is calling Pasuma. He was born at Mushin in Lagos State which, as he once said, put a great influence on his career. Later, he was brought up in Kwara State, western Nigeria. In 1973, Pasuma entered Muslim Mission Primary School, and 6 years later he moved to Nigerian Model High School to pursue his secondary school education.
When Pasuma was young, he dreamt about success and music was a field he built a career in. Mushin had a reputation of a town of rascally people before Pasuma made it famous as he greatly adored his native town
Pasuma though saw it as a challenge as he had a dream of becoming hugely popular, and it came true. He couldn’t begin his career somewhere else, and he actually decided that he want to get out of the place and make a difference. Mushin was a place of birth of such great musicians as Funmilayo Tejuoso, Ganiyu Solomon, Muiz Bamire, and Pasuma decided that he could do better than they did. Pasuma started singing and playing music when he was in secondary school. While his friends were doing jumping and other sports, he and some of his guys would pull themselves aside and sing. They all started singing together, and there was no master or servant.
In 1984, Pasuma started writing songs. The young artist was inspired by K1 De Ultimate who released an album titled Talazo 84 that was greatly accepted by fans. Currently, K1 is Pasuma’s mentor who has a great influence on him. Wasiu Alabi realized that if someone could do something like that and it became a big hit, he could do the same or even something better. Pasuma started his musical career at the young age of 17, but the first album was recorded in 1993. Pasuma started working with Eru Owa Records that invited him to the studio. This is how the first album called Recognition was recorded. It was Eru Owa Records who called it Recognition to make people know about the new Fuji musician in the industry.
