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, had a great influence on his career. Later, he was brought up in Kwara State, western Nigeria. In 1973, Pasuma enrolled at Muslim Mission Primary School, and 6 years later, he moved to Nigerian Model High School to pursue his secondary school education.
When talking about his childhood, Pasuma said that he went through hell and suffering. There were days when he only ate once a day. Then, his mother would ask him to eat at night so that he would not go to sleep hungry. Wasiu Alabi’s mother would sometimes tell him:
How old is Pasuma?
Who are Pasuma's father and mother?
When Pasuma was nine, his parents got separated. Since then, he was single-handedly raised by his mother. Wasiu Alabi’s father wanted him to be a medical doctor as he himself was a well-educated man. He wanted his children to have a good life and the career of Fuji musicians was not associated with good earnings.
Once his mother realized that he had chosen his path, she started to support him. His mother wanted him to succeed because she wanted to be proud of her son.

“There is something about Mushin that people run away from. Being a Mushin person, people don’t usually want to associate with you or give you things. When someone asks you where you are from and you say Mushin, they don’t want to have anything to do with you”.
Pasuma 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 wanted to get out of the place and make a difference. The artist started singing when he was in secondary school. While his friends were participating in sports, he and some of his friends would pull themselves aside and sing. In 1984, he 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.
Wasiu Alabi realized that if someone could create something like that and it could became a big hit, that he could do the same or even something better. Wasiu started his musical career at the young age of 17, but his first album was recorded in 1993.

He started working with Eru Owa Records. This is how his 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.
The next year, a subsequent famous Orobokibo album came. It earned him an award as The Best Fuji Artiste at the FMA awards. Before the release of this album, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma was like any other Fuji musician in Mushin. At that time, he was just playing music and didn’t know what the future held for him but he always dreamt about huge fame. He once said:
“After the release of Orobokibo, my whole life changed, though it did not come to me as a surprise. I knew from the beginning that God’s plan for me had been finalised and l was destined to become big, but when? I did not know. In my early days, there were pointers to what God had in store for me, as I was loved everywhere I performed”.
As for the third album’s title, this was a slang word Orobokibo which was created by one of Pasuma’s backup vocalists who used it during one of the rehearsal sessions.
The musician asked the fellow about word’s meaning, and he told him that it was just a slang word he heard somewhere. Originally, the slang word Orobo means ‘fat women’. Orobokibo was the album that brought him to the limelight. This album led him to his first ever concert at Benson in 1996. That was how he started his journey.
From 1997, Pasuma started performing at Lekki Sunplash. First, he played before bigger stars like Orits Williki, Femi Kuti, Raskimono would perform. He had a few minutes to do his job and leave. People didn’t want to listen to any rising stars, they were waiting for big artists. One year later, everything changed for Wasiu, and he became a recognized brand in the music industry.
In 2015, he surpassed many artists like Olamide, Phyno, and Flavor, becoming the winner of Best Indigenous Artist of the Year award at the Nigeria Entertainment Awards. That was how his successful career started, and these are his memories from that time.
“I was very very happy at the event when they called my name alongside that of industry giants like K1 De Ultimate, Adewale Ayuba, Pasuma Wonder and they said and the winner is…I nearly passed out”.
The musician did not even think that he would beat such music giants. While Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde was reigning on the music scene being still young and hot, Pasuma was nominated for the first time. In 2016, he was nominated for the Best featured Non-Islamic Artiste in Islamic album. He has collaborated with many famous Nigerian artists including Saheed Osupa, Bola Abimbola, King Sunny Ade and other.
When talking about his career choice, the singer once revealed that he could have been a footballer: I could have been a footballer, a professional footballer. I was part and parcel of Kodak 1985 Under 17. I couldn’t travel with the team, they dropped me. Only God knows why that happened. Maybe if I had gone I would not have been the successful musician I am today. They had to go to World Cup then. They dropped me. So, I was part of the Kodak Under 17 World Cup team made up of Fatai Atere. Thank God they dropped me. If not that they dropped me, I wouldn’t be a musician today. No regrets. I don’t regret becoming a musician. Its been a blessing.- Recognition

The story of his stage names
Pasuma’s fans know that this is not his real name. He got it in 1997 from his friend and CEO of House of Heavy Sounds Temitayo Adeolokun, who saw him being so energetic on stage. After watching Wasiu Alabi on stage, he called him aside and said:
“Jibola do you know that the way you bounce and jump about on stage, reminds one of a guy I know who uses a brand of energiser called Pasuma strong?”
Since the artist had never heard of the name, he became curious. After the chat, he spent several nights thinking about the name of this product and in the end decided to adopt the Pasuma name, replacing Strong for Wonder. Most often, Pasuma is called Oganla, or Oga Nla, which means Big Boss. The artist wanted to use the English version but when he realized that most people who buy his albums are Yoruba, he decided to stick with the Yoruba language.
This was the best way to make people know where he was coming from. Pasuma has also been given other names like Ijoba Fuji, Anabi Omole, Omo Ijawo Anabi, and others.
