What is the meaning of Asiwaju?

Nigeria is one blessed with so many singing talents and one could hardly disagree when they pride on calling themselves ‘Giants of Africa’. Since time immemorial, theirs has been an industry filled with diversified culture and that has expressed itself in their music. You can talk about the Igbos, the Yorubas, the Hausas and so many more.
