A fan Once Offered Me His Wife – Orits Wiliki
Veteran reggae singer and music producer, Orits Wiliki, recently celebrated 30 active years on stage. Speaking to Sun, about his experience as a musician, he talked about working alongside on stage with other stars like Majek Fashek, Chris Mba. He said before going on stage for any performance, he isolates himself for 3 hours in order to mediate. Describing one of his shows that he would describe as most memorable, he said

Another one was in Sapele, Olympia Cinema, when a male fan came on stage to dance and after exhausting all the cash he had, he pulled off his jacket gave it to me. After some time, he came on stage with a beautiful lady and said ‘take my wife, she is all yours since I don’t have money again.’
No, I gave her back to him; that’s to show the extent fans can go to appreciate us.Asking if he accepted the woman, he said;
