- Segun Awe was on Agbaletu in 2018 and his interview opened up revelations. Baba Commander came on to respond and a settlement was reached. Segun Awe knelt and begged Commander. 5 years down the line, Segun insists he joined Inter-reformers band in 1973 and not 1974. He insists he was a guitarist before joining Inter-reformers band and he also maintained he never led any coup in the band among others.

I met Mr Awe years back while conducting an interview for him on his music experiment called Afritonas….He has always been a blunt and fearless man..I think Nigerians do not like people who say it the way it is.I have not seen anywhere in this interview where this man undermined his boss..Agbaletu thank you for being professional in allowing him do more of the storytelling than interrupting him..Segun Awe’s memory of events and how they happened is really unbelievable..Finally Ekiti people don’t know how to keep somethings private when the truth seems to have been manipulated so the need to understand the harshness in his delivery..A musical genius still!!Brilliant job Agbaletu!!❤❤
This interview is so touching because of the frankness of Mr Segun Awe. His gift and love for Commander is still obvious. Thanks for the interview Agbaletu!
No Artist can speak honestly like this man, Very Bold and Honest.... I am enjoying the interview,
Hate him,or love him.. Segun,is just being himself and bluntly honest... unfortunately,in our society, being principled, is most times seen as a sign of insolence or being disrespectful...my, submission therefore, is that prosterity will adjudge us all.. great interview..Dele..the Lord is your strength brother.. keep it up 💪👍👌
The exposition of lies of the kingdom of devil by Segun Awe. The lies of devilish courage by lies from evil men that has led many greedy and anxious young people to meet their waterloo and some died. You are a true child of God and I pray that the Holy spirit will do the rest in you and for you IJMN ❤
Whenever an interviewee speak from the heart it turns out to be very engaging and great!
Mr Dele Awe is very factual and blunt A highly talented and versatile guitarist. He changed the tempo of Chief Ebenezer Obeyy music. Another excellent interview by the master interviewer himself God bless you Agbaletu
Even after Segun left Commander Ebenezer Obey's band, the great legend still remains the superstar till today.
This man is very good in music and has a good memory, is a straight forward person
Excellent interview with Segun Awe. I love the fact that he is able to give us the nitty gritty details of all the components used in making the super hits of yesteryears!
In terms of his view on OBEY, the truth is that we are all humans with a fallible propensity. In short, no one is perfect even Segun himself.
Things happen for a reason. We must always put events in it’s context else we loose the basis of objectivity.
Well done once again ‘Agbaletu’ for bringing these super stars into our homes for FREE!🎉🎉😂
With due respect, I would like to recommend a book called 48 Laws of Power to Mr Segun Ewe. There is a particular law " Never outshine your Boss.
I'm not taking out the fact that this man is talented, but pride and self glorify rubbed him off so many opportunities. People like this may find it so difficult to see anything wrong about themselves.
With all he said about his boss, he needs to give that man some respect and credit as Ebenezer Obey was in his 30's while managing that band with over 30 members. They were all in their younger days, so mistakes are inevitable.
We need to learn to be diplomatic in our dealings , stop seeing wrong in everyone else but ourself.
If becoming a star and making name in the entertainment industry is easy we should have millions of stars.
Maximum respect to Ebenezer obey and Sunny Ade.
I like what you are doing Dele. Great research. You are truly the Dean of the old school.
Mr. Awe is highly talented and I believe him.
I like him Olusegun Omo Awe guiter dowo re .
As the saying goes, "The truth is better" Mr Segun Awe is the element of the truth. I believe wholeheartedly his Mr. Awe frank interview. Some of these band leaders are selfish. If you work or serve leaders for more than 7 years, it is either you advise them to move on if they're good or provide them with a better condition of service. These people have family and extended family to look after
The Old Ekiti Spirit Of Fairness and Truth often misconstrued as “agidi”/stubbornness/arrogance. I love this man’s refusal to be cowed by his detractors. Even the Chief Commander could not bend him
Good interview! What we should realize about interaction between 2 people is that 2 of them will have their perspectives about issues even right there at the time of its occurrence. Each would be convinced that his position is the right one.
It takes time and events for people to realize their errors. Actions and positions taken earlier would not have been made based on wickedness but rather on those conviction.
Learning from experiences would only make us better in our relationships.
I hope Uncle Segun Awe / Baba Commader now know where each made mistakes and make the necessary amendments. I also hope Mr Awe doesn't treat his band members they way he claims to have been treated.
Peace and love all the way!
We appreciate your input to music in Nigeria.
God bless Mr Awe, Baba Commader and Agbaletu.
I love your analysis and submission. In any crisis, no one is completely innocent. Anyway, Obey and Segun Awe's association produced some of the most memorable music of our age, God bless both of them!
your endurance in your music career will surely lead you to succeed don't woory
Thank you for this observation, nothing to add!
I admire this man. He is one in a million. Great integrity. Thank you, Olootu Agbaletu for bringing him to us.
Mr. Segun Awe should rest. He has really exhausted all avenue to express his grievances with Chief Commander. I have watched about 5 to 6 different interviews on same issue. Obey was already made many years before you joined his band, and after you left in 1979, he still went on to released many evergreen songs without you. Its obvious that you can never form a threat for him even if you form your own band. He should also stop undermining Late Monday John work. Nobody will listen to Board member album and tell me Monday only use guiter to hymn songs. Monday was a fantastic guitarist and I can bring about 10 songs in early 70's with a superb guiter work from him.
The way i see it Ebenezer Obey is not qualified to be an Evangelist because is not fearing to most of his band boys. Ebenezer Obey is greedy and selfish.
Omo, this is my best interview so far on Igbaletu. Pure Ekiti man. bluntness, stubbornness and agidi. He confirmed he pushed Cannabis and stood by it. Anything wey want happen, make e happen.
Meanwhile, E kilo fomo was the cleanest Juju album done in the 1970s by any body. Segun Awe affirmed it, and time has validated that as well. The guitar works are insane.
For Baba Commander, I'm though a KSA fan, but I respect baba alot, and I know he was a deciding figure in Juju music. But similar to every boss, he could have his mistakes as well. KSA also made his own mistakes to some of his band boys. It is well.
Mr. Segun Awe came to Lagos almost the month and year I was born 😂😂😂
There's a difference between being truthful, fearless and being arrogant.
This Dude to me is simply bombastic
Oga Dele....in fact you really did a very big job.....about all this old school musicians interview you are doing,People are learning a lot about all this interviews....May the lord almighty continue strength You on it..Good Job keep it Up.
I follow all your interviews with all the music legends.....Good for the record
The truth is bitter, Ebenezer Obey is some what wicked to some of his band boys, according to some his members.
This is the best interview I have watched so far on this agbaletu
He is a great talent! But I still think that the truth about his relationship with Obey is still fuzzy. Its either hes or Obey is not truthful. Anyway, the duo gave us great memories!
❤Typical Ekiti Man 👨 we love ❤️ to say it as it Is....expecially wen given the chance.....
Great job 👏
The Most explicit interview..... kudos oga Segun Awe
very confident man he deserves compensation....i remember pa odion mentioned ohiri real name in his interview with dele
one great thing with this interview is that it made me revisit the mentioned LP albums, listen again carefully and appreciate the melodious guitar sequence play more.
Yeso. I'm just remembiering E kilo fomo ode guitar works again. No be small thing oh
Segun Awe’s first record was and is still his best unfortunately it cannot be found anywhere

I really enjoyed this interview, can’t wait for part 2.
Mr. Segun Awe is talented and fearless. His problem is mentorship. He would have served under someone like Fela and be tamed rightly. I love his openness.
All these people have worked so preciously.we, young guitarists of now adays are taking dressing from the timeless good projects you've done. My village man, you're doing well.
The journalist, sir, I will be happy if you can come to ekiti state in ayegunle ekiti under ijero local gvt to interview one of the formal late owoh guitarist ohh this man is an asset but poverty is the talk of his life. Perhaps it can be of help to him. Thanks.
Honestly segun awe I love your person. God blss U
A good job to get us to see these legends again
gen Z's will think the afrobeats rivalries are novel, LIE! these OG's had it all locked down decades before your faves were even concieved - and you know what? they are still holding it down until this moment! great stuff!
I'm just happy that he was behind those beautiful guitar sounds of those beautiful releases of Chief commander of those years.
Segun Awe is rightly talented and blunt as an Ekiti man in a cause to fight or defend his rights. It is good as he made his case known to the public. He should remember that Obey organizations had come to lime-light before joining his band to contribute and gain more experience to improve more, .not only to the success of the band, but also on his own skills. One thing or other made him to leave the band. His case is well presented and understood.
But as a yoruba man, it is MORALLY WRONG for him to use 'O' for any elderly person under any circumstance. It shows that he is arrogant, and thus depicts his behavior when he was with the band, and no matter how talented or perfect one could be in his profession without humbleness, its results will be insatifaction.
Without any ambiguity, OBEY senior him with all things in life. If not too late AWE should learn to respect Elders even when aggressive.
Listening to the humility of Chief Obey talking about Mr.Awe during his interview and comparing it with Mr. Awe's arrogance and lack of respect to his boss in this interview says it all. There's more to life ( co- existence) than talent. He just doesn't have it and I am sure it had affected him one way or the other in his life.
You don't need to trash Obey 'cos you are no more with him. Obey is a fine man either you like it or not.
I respect Obey alot. But I dont think he trashed him. He only said his side of the story since we have haeard Obey side already. The guy is blunt, and we should recognize that our legends like Obey, KSA are humans who could make mistakes aswell. This said bluntly that he pushed drug and he didnt hide it.
Your obey is not a saint man
Regardless of their differences Chief Commander deserves some respect; the age difference between the duo is really very obvious.
He respect his master and he said it very clear. He only being blunt
This is the problem with Africa, when being truthful and blunt against an elder, it is termed disrespect.
I think that his using O for Baba Obe and not E should not be seen as a disrespectful act Most people from Ekiti and Ondo and to a certain aspects speak like that They don't see it as been disrespectful
as you.dervsd your master heatly,God also will give you that kind of band boys that will also serve you to your pleasant forgive and Baba and forget whatever the set back he has cause in the passed
This is the real definition of interview. Good job
I love this Segun Awe guy ! 😊
Talent without humility could be couter-productive.
Segun should display maturity and wisdom
This is deep ,this shows that nobody is a saint,Ebenezer Obey has its own past.
Dele I like the way you dressed today. Fantastic dressing
How can ine say someone that can postrate is proud, is not, is only unapologetically straightforward
This man has said nothing wrong, he is just a frank person with his head up, it doesn't make him a proud man. In my own opinion, he felt cheated and undervalue even up till now, he was angry with Obey because he thought Obey would have promoted him and helped more than this cos his ideas and pestering helped Obey' carrier at that time. We love Obey and the rest but they were all spiritually dangerous during their time, they dont want any other musician to be greater than them even their seniors suffered from their hands. I remember when baba won kere si number called out one of them, he claimed he taught him guitar but the legend abandoned him when he was in proplems. Nigerians can be too bias when it comes to the person they love and that is still one of our major issues till today. Your loved ones can not be perfect at all times and your enemies are not the worst at all times.
I love this man!
Honestly, I really cannot understand why all these ex-band members take pride in criticizing and bashing their former ogas on social media!
Take Mr Segun Awe for example -
He willingly joined Obey's band in 1973 and willingly walked away in 1979.
During those six years, he travelled the world, achieved a little fame for himself and was able to purchase a BRAND NEW CAR!
Yet he eloquently argues that he was shortchanged. He complains that nothing came out of the job for him!
Go ask so many post-graduates today who have worked for over ten years if they can afford to pay cash out of pocket for a "tokunbo" car let alone a brand new one!
Mr Awe believes he deserves a bigger cut from Obey's glory. From a man who has put in almost sixty years into the trade when many of his peers have long retired.
From a man who continues to work tirelessly in his Eighties despite frail health!
Please let us learn to show a little gratitude and do away with a false sense of importance and entitlement!
Agbaletu, please don't allow your channel to become a platform for slanderous attacks.
Most especially when the object of the attack has passed away!
I love your observations about Obey and his band members, especially considering Segun Awe's comments. However, I disagree with your thought on Agbaletu's platform. As a matter of fact, this platform is extremely important to shed light on events, allow people air their grievances et c. Nobody is completely innocent, not even great Obey and KSA, nor is Awe, but, let us just take interviews like this as "setting records straight", ours is not to judge but learn. Nonetheless, something is certain and cannot be removed: these men are legends in every sense. Awe was not even 20 years when he was playing those guitar works and, his ability to remember after 50 years is amazing, unbelievable even!
Very frank and honest discussion.
Uncle Segun Awe made a serious allegation against 'Baba Commander', about an incident that happened 50 years ago, in 1.07.13 minutes of this explosive interview.
He alleged that 'Baba Commander took him to see a 'spiritualist', in 1973 and he was instructed to take his leave by both the 'Spiritualist' and 'Baba Commander' after spiritual enquiry was made on his behalf, without revealing the details of the spiritual enquiry to him, till date.
The host did not allow Uncle Awe to provide details about this heavy allegation but rather smartly talked Uncle Awe out of his allegation.
I believe there is a need for 'Baba Commander', to clarify what transpired during the 'spiritual trip'.
I dont think that is necessary and Agbaletu was wise not to dwell on it. At the time, the 1970s, they were all engaged in things like that, even today, it is part of us. Let us just give God all the glory for their association which produced some of the best albums in Juju music till date.
Those things are not neccesary. He didnt say Obey did ogun ika on him na.
@@lekanbalogun186
I quite appreciate your wise and honest response.
Mr. Awe is a confident man, and sometimes this can be easily misconstrued as arrogance especially amongst people who see him as a threat or envious of his talent.
Nigerian bosses lack humility and see themselves as the be all and end all. Music is team work. Commander should know that Awe made his band better. He also need to tender an apology.
Shikena.
OLUSEGUN OMO AWE GUITER DOWO RE. Good day.
Oke A mini died in an automobile accident on Saturday 25th August, 1973.
So he should be right about the date he joined Ebenezer Obey's band.
Agbaletu, thanks for revisiting Mr. Segun Awe for more clarifications on the few areas of disparity between him and Commander.
The truth is that KSA's Ekilo f'ọmọdẹ and Mo ti Mọ are game changers as confirmed by Segun Awe.
Where's Abiodun Koleoso ? What type of guitar did he played ?
I'll rather keep my comments about this man. It is well. 😊
It's obvious that Segun Awe is not as straightforward as he wants people to believe,he went to reconcile with Obey years ago but now he's still bearing grudges against him. I'm not interested in who was right or wrong, bygone should be left as bygone.
Agbaletu, when exactly are you gonna interview KSA? Like real interview oh, not some recording somewhere.
Getting KSA is a very hard task. KSA is very elusive
where is Part 2 of this interview ?
I kind of disagree with Segun awe hear on the tenor guitar in Oshikagbagbe Ola. I think that was tenor guitar o. Didn’t really sound like bass
This guy, Segun Awe is a real crazy guy with mind carrying Igbo to UK.
He was with Dosunmu omoleye b4 he went to obey
Agbaman you will have to interview baba again o....the interview is too short.....oti dun ju
Segun awe may be talented but it is arrogant to have an impression that there is no one like you. Ebenezer obey recorded several records before and after you, the man Ebenezer is a legend he won't be less than what he is today without segun Awe. Plus Ebenezer Obey is still going around singing and cashing millions without you. What have you been doing with all the talents since you left Ebenezer Obey. You are exactly what Ebenezer Obey called you.
Exactly!
Just cos you are telling the truth doesn't mean you are stating the fact. Truth is based on people's perspective. Your perspective might be tainted because of your position of viewing the whole situation.
In my opinion, Segun Awe is very arrogant, he feels he is better than everybody else. He might be a better guitar player than Monday John but Monday John's musical piece are more iconic.
He should rest abeg
That year even cocaine was peddled openly in this country, so Indian Hemp is nothing those years. But everything is advanced now
As I will like to agree with him,the pride in his statements made me realize why he did not go far in music. People like this believe that because they are good they have to make it but it doesn't work like that. He rubbished Monday John a lot but I realized that he doesn't even understand what tenor is sef. What they played in osika gbagbe ola is pure tenor. d d d s,d d l m,r r r l,r l s r
yeah, I think its tenor
I have said it several times that obey is not what some people think he is.
Even his own blood son was betrayed by him.
Humn! Betray?
Segun Awe, you are biting the fingers that fed you. I don't care about whatever you say about Commander Ebenezer Obey. HE IS MY HERO! Beg ALMIGHTY GOD to help you instead of trying to damage someone else.
Typical Ekiti man❤
Plz we need mutual kekere on yur show
He's of blessed memory
Dele Adeyanju you are always fatanstic.
Pride, bitterness, arrogance and unforgiving spirit is the problem of Segun Awe!!! Anyone having these problems can't go far in life. Period
Typical Ekiti man, very blunt and a bit….. but a good guitarist
He got jokes. To think he believes he is more handsome than Commander Obey. It is laughable lol
Segun Awe you can't bring baba Obey down
My man, Ebenezer Obey is wicked, according to other some members beside Segun Awe
@@adisashaffi2660I hope this statement makes you happy now 😂 dem say dem say
I want to advise Agbaletu to desist from featuring this man on his platform. He is too proud for my liking. I hate him for not recognizing his benefactor, that is Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey.
He's blunt but arrogant
😅😅😅😂😂 Odaran buruku
Why is he running down Obey
Segun Awe thinks he has musical talent when he really doesn't. His talent and calling is as a guitarist, not at a musician. There is a clear divide between the two. How I wish he'd accept this and go back to his true calling and focus of being a guitarist, which he can do in his own band. He also, for health and longevity reasons need to leave skin bleaching to one side.
Do you even understand what music is? He is a guitarist not a musician? You have no clue. A man who arranged and composed the rhythm for the band is not a musucian? Oya tell us what a musician is.We are waiting
@@HarriBestReactions I think he means hes not an excellent vocalist and composer
@@babatundeom4008 Where does not being an excellent vocalist disqualify a talented instrumentalist from being an excellent musician? Whatever he meant,with all due respect he is talking nonsense! Segun Awe replaced a highly respected guitarist like Monday John in Obey's band when he was barely 18! You think that is a joke? Obey is not stupid and would never have let Monday john go.Not only did Awe play some of the most memorable and greatest guitar licks of Obey songs in the 70s.But he changed Obeys style and also arranged the guitar section.And someone comes along saying hes not a great musician.Hilarious🤣
No, Obeycould not be arrested for selling car to a thief. Only if he sold stolen vehicle. Lie. Number one.
wait there... in law they are both suspects
No! He did NOT lie. Though we all love Obey but that doesn't mean he cannot do things wrong, no human being is infallible, anybody can make mistakes, and we should not give in to blind loyalty because we take someone as our hero
@@bao1109obey is not what some people think he is.
@@inubaye2030so hint us a lil
@@inubaye2030As someone that obviously know him well, tell us the side we don’t know.
The way he was even referring to baba obey sounds arrogant . May God help you.
This man talks too much
Segun Awe is too proud, he tells lies against obe and also that Sunny Ade copied someone style
So you don't know that sunny copied someone. It is true. That isnt a lie
Who did Sunny copy?
