Sir Victor Uwaifo is a legend in Edo state where he was born. He is famous for his joromi music.His best-known songs, "Guitar Boy and Mami water" were a huge hit in 1966. "Mami water" was inspired by an encounter (which he has long maintained actually occurred) with a "mami water" (mermaid) while lounging on Bar Beach in Lagos. He also served as commissioner for arts and culture in Edo State under the government of Lucky Igbinedion.
