This interview revealed the following: • That one has to listen to all sides involved in a saga before arriving at a conclusion. • That Obey is a deep and wise man who took cue from situations of the past • I love the great word of wisdom imparted to him by his father; Be cautious to speak, be cautious to see, be cautious to know. • That the show and the business should be separated you can’t mix both. • That joining a band means you have something to offer and not vice - versa. • Lastly that Obey is at peace with himself. I’m sure King Sunny Ade’s experience would not be too far from Baba Obey’s. Well done Agbaletu…🎉🎉🎉
Well done Dele Agbaletu for a patience-driven interview session you had with Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. He has prayed for you that '' O ti ga na, oo de ni jabo.'' So shall it be in Jesus name. Waiting for fresh interview with KSA.
Baba obey is a good father and leader.....he has used this medium to clear so many issues bothering on both band members and music as a whole.....long life baba obey....
When l,was playing with tolu obey and we're rehearsing in obey house,one day daddy make a statement that when you are on assignment ,God will always bring right people to make things more easier and successful till today in my memories and I, believe in that statement till now.
I grew up as a teenager to be a lover and diehard fan of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey since late 70s to date.. Commander Obey is a living music legend ...Long life Commander..
I like Chief Ebenezer Obey personally. I love his music and songs! May God bless him and descendants forever and also his band members who helped him produce those evergreen musical outputs which will never be outdated at anytime. His music will last endless generations
Baba Obey Commander! Your music is my favorite and I emulate your attitude. You will live long 🙏 for us. Agbaletu Dele Adeyanju JP you are too much. More strength to you. Amen 🙏
Well done @ Agbaletu for bringing Commander Obey to us again. Wow! God bless Commander for remaining gracious to his former band partners and boys and for clarifying so many matters and allegations made by some of those people. As I always say, "where you sit not only indicate where you stand; but also what you see". Commander's report of Segun Awe abusing him as being "ugly" then is incredibly laughable. Agba ti o binu ni Omo re npo. Segun Awe calling anyone, especially Commander "ugly"? That only showed how immature, disrespectful and hot head he was then (he still is, going by the way he comes across in recent interviews) and he clearly didn't look himself in the mirror. He needs to. Wax on our Great Commander. Your memory is amazingly vivid for a man of 82.
I'm a big or die hard fan of Chief commander Ebenezer Obey, he is my first choice in Juju music, please talk to Chief commander on our behalf to help Alagba Vasco Da gama move his bolojo music on CD , we really missed his bolojo brand of music.
Baba Ebenezer Obey is a complete gentleman. Looking at him alone touch me a lot. I learn a lot from this interview. He is a well accomplished man. We all need to be extremely patient in life. Thank you so much for all the evergreen musics you produced in our lifetime.
I love commander so much , he played all night at my father’s funeral in 1990 courtesy of the late MKO ,please Agbaletu I want this live play on you tube. I will pay whatever am charged.Chief Akikunmi SHOYOYE the Are Onakankanfo of Ilawo in Abeokuta.Agbaletu please kindly do me this favor and I wil forever be grateful to you.
God bless you agbaletu.. Pray baba live long and hearty, happy to see him, no wonder his albums are evergreen, I really love and respect baba Obey more, this is what KSA and Kwam1 should have done too, to clarify things, all this didn't bring anyone down but it for your fans and future generations. It's well, we all know what we are doing though!!! I give it to Agbaletu and Ejire Nigbati, pray you live long to reap the fruits of your labour..
Agbaletu, thank you once again for bringing Chief Commander Baba Obey here. I still remember some of his music with nostalgia as my late dad played his "Araye o e bami jo ....Ogoji odun ti mo ti n babo". Emi baba maa gun ni alaafia. Thank you Agbaletu!
I think we should move on from the band members related issues. There are other questions like, I) how his music evolved. His melody and pattern in the 60/70s is different from 80s ii) He is now a professor of music, how is the experience? What does he teaches, iii) what are his composition style and practice, iv) a type of juju is now called Obey style, what makes a music obey style? How does it evolved?
I agree with you bro, like how do they get their inspiration back then, the geniuses or talented in their bands, how they learn multiple musical instruments etc
Spot on brother! I have reiterated that on this platform. KSA & OBEY are accomplished musicians and should not be brought to the fore to start accounting for how and what happened between them and their former band members. It is disconcerting, to say the least. This men have brought glory and pride to Nigerian music at a period where there was no social media. The juju genre was the first to haul the greatest price in word music- Grammy. We need to know how these men did it. How they managed their band and they were able to attract and enlist the services of the best instrumentalis. My one cent sir.
Baba chief commander Ebenezer obey God bless you sir Long life more in Jesus mighty name I can remember does days,kin mama alaso nta to yegba dani abewere nje lasi ni,2aimasiko londamu eda oo oro milowo Oluwa lowa 3Iya olomo mobae yo ire akari gbogbo wa,eseo tiwa na adeo amin God bless you to internity
Golden advise from Baba Commander. For all those who speak and spread negative information about Baba Obey commander may the Lord Almighty forgive you all. Long life and Prosperity in good health Sir.
Chief Commander Olabiyi Ebenezer Obey🎉 Long live in sound health Sir. I enjoyed your musics & will still enjoy it more IJN. Agbaletu, you are an ICON 👌👌👌👌
This interview will be a reference for live of CEO in music, the interview is loaded and you could see him, how he gave answers to the questions, and even willingly talk about many other stories. You see, when senior people like CEO shook their heads, sometimes close their eyes and then pause before they respond, to your questions, you better listen to learn. Please work on a date with KSA and Chief Obey at the same table, it will definitely enlighten generations. That will break the internet, and I really pray it happens soon. Good job, bro!
Agbaletu, when next you meet with Baba Obey, please do ask him for the name of that Oyibo onile keji, that shouted fa fa fire fire ki panapana to de....
Very insightful! Towards the end of the interview, the iconic OBEY himself talked about music composition. We'll like his to talk more about this in subsequent interviews. 😊 Agbaletu, congrats! 💐
Agbaletu, great job all round! You are amazing at your job! Deep knowledge of what you are interviewing for! Amazon rhythm, the accurate tone for each of the questions, I dove my hart for you brother. Baba Obey is the most calmest person on this planet! May baba live long in good health.
Great interview with a great man of honour. Baba KSA should also do his teeming fans to grant this type of interview to clarify lots of lingering issues.
Baba Commander I have respect for your wisdom and calmness. Your style of music is healing to many souls! Thank u sir. Alafia .ni fun yin o, Lola Oluwa.
Can we have another interview with Baba Obey where you talk about his music.Thats what most of us like and relate with Baba since our early days,not all about disgruntled band boys,even Baba’s late wife Juliana,how did he process the loss,his music is probably the most evergreen in the history of music at least in Yoruba land,and personally it brings back the memories of my late father as I remember his music on our gramophone on sallah day,what an icon,what an institution,together with King Sunny ade and fela anikulapo kuti,there will never ever be this talented musical trio that will reign for so long and still be relevant even up till todayic
@deleadeyanju - You did an awesome job with this interview. I noticed Baba was more reflective, and he was sharing the wisdom of unconditional Love to be applied in all aspect of our lives. I will suggest you have a live show (a sing-along) with Baba where he sings to an Agidigbo beat system. We will do our part by donating to Agbaletu tv and Baba online.
The Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. The evergreen mastreo….Your music should be documented sir. Please we need to know the secret to your evergreen melodies.
Your page and work, have keep me accompanying every day. Keep the good work, your interviews have been the best of all, and they will stand as best of all time.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ! Accusations by former band members against their band leaders should stop ! In any professional or occupational group one finds himself, it is extremely important to remember the future and plan for it. Blaming your woes on band leaders is untenable . A cue can be drawn from the amiable examples of the 3 pioneering band members from Akiko Area of ONDO State . They obediently and wisely took to Obey's counselling as regards acquiring a piece of land to build a house.
From my own personal experience in music, I deduce that Baba Obey drew musical inspiration from other talented musicians ; e.g. EMI YOO GBE OLUWA MI GA and OBLADI OBLADA 2. ORI BA YE MI and Rex Lawson's JOLLY PAPA; 3. ENI RI NKAN HE by Obey and ENI RI NKAN HE by Ambrose Campbell.
Dele Adeyanju, u resemble Baba Commander hooo, remember l told you when I first met you @ Methodist High school ilesa... hope Ebenezer obey songs are your favourite like mine?
The question is, were you fair to them? There should be a written agreement. I hope the upcoming musicians can learn and do the right thing. Musicians are the boss, no doubt but the drummers and others deserve to be treated well. It is a collaborative business.
Agba letu, O unbere question bi omode. O se maa but agbalagba pe onu to some ti eniti o soro ba gbo to ko gba in a big. That is not good enough. Human being is complex, some people have dead conscience. Even when they are reminded of certain bad situation in which they are involved they will never admit. Asking baba Commander that question is insulting but being a good man he did not even count it
This is good move by Agbaletu.Please extend these opportunities to some other leaders who might have been similarly accused though I hope they will avail themselves of the opportunities.Weldone
Baba was actually right about the akoko connection. I know all of them I grew up in d same area in egbe. Giwa arigidi n Lawrence olowonyo's children and my childhood friends
Hi Agbeletu l do appreciate all you doing as regards to the music industry, most especially the juju and Fuji music.l feel it’s a great opportunity for you being able to seat to interview legends like Evangelist Ebenezer Obey and King Sunny Ade.l personally would appreciate if you could talk less of his band boys and do more in-depth interview of their personal life and the impact of their music.Chief Obey and King Sunny Ade are gradually getting old and l hope you are in a better position as a good journalist to assist them through your interviews to get their works well documented.Take care my friend and may you stay blessed.
Thank you sir. If you observe, this discussion is set for Baba to tell his side of the story against what some of his band members have said against him. That's how Baba wanted it and he must be given fair hearing. On his personal life, you can access my 2018 and 2023 interviews with him. I appreciate your comment sir.
Hey. Agbaman. This is a hat trick; a coup. First Baba Onigbinde, now Baba Evangelist! Owo e a ma roke. But sha, you have to sort out your audio. God bless you brother!
Agbaletu, you still need to do another interview with BABA OBEY again to ask him HOW HE PREACE his fans. I really enjoyed the interview with God bless you 🙏 ❤️ ☺️
Obey is deep and experienced. I’ve loved him all my life and I will continue to love forever. However his attitude to the band after he left the band was not good enough. Maybe the offshoot band, using the old music (which they were part of) were not giving him royalties like the other guy that was giving him 200k. His defense was weak. However it’s one of those things. We are all human as he’ll want to defend his legacy. The boys would not label such accusation against him if there was no iota of truth. All the same the interview was great. I respect obey for ever.
Agbaletu, I realized you have not talked to or interviewed Elder Vasco Da gama concerning his bolojo music career and we are looking forward to that, please make it happen.
Life is funny. That man, Sikiru Adepoju who hails from Eruwa in Oyo State went ahead to win Grammy. "Sikiru Adepoju won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary World Music Album in 2008 for his contribution to the title album of Mickey Hart's Global Drum Project at the 51st annual Grammy"-wiki One big issue that I see here is as a leader, when you have potential leaders or apparent leaders as your followers, there is need for a special management method.
Should have dedicated this interview on his musical origins history big opportunity to have access to this big psalmist a true shinning star morning star, scandal free longevity
Agbaletu is gradually written his name on gold
Will become an evergreen like baba obey....thumbs up sir
This interview revealed the following:
• That one has to listen to all sides involved in a saga before arriving at a conclusion.
• That Obey is a deep and wise man who took cue from situations of the past
• I love the great word of wisdom imparted to him by his father; Be cautious to speak, be cautious to see, be cautious to know.
• That the show and the business should be separated you can’t mix both.
• That joining a band means you have something to offer and not vice - versa.
• Lastly that Obey is at peace with himself.
I’m sure King Sunny Ade’s experience would not be too far from Baba Obey’s.
Well done Agbaletu…🎉🎉🎉
Well done Dele Agbaletu for a patience-driven interview session you had with Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. He has prayed for you that '' O ti ga na, oo de ni jabo.'' So shall it be in Jesus name. Waiting for fresh interview with KSA.
Baba I enjoyed you sir. I watched it full. The guy that anchors this is good very intelligent ❤
Baba obey is a good father and leader.....he has used this medium to clear so many issues bothering on both band members and music as a whole.....long life baba obey....
Hear baba voice @82 without instrument ......Long life baba
When l,was playing with tolu obey and we're rehearsing in obey house,one day daddy make a statement that when you are on assignment ,God will always bring right people to make things more easier and successful till today in my memories and I, believe in that statement till now.
I grew up as a teenager to be a lover and diehard fan of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey since late 70s to date.. Commander Obey is a living music legend ...Long life Commander..
Israel Njemanze, Ayinde Bakare, Ayinla Omowura, I found stories online about but could not find Charles Wigwe/Nwigwe.
I like Chief Ebenezer Obey personally.
I love his music and songs!
May God bless him and descendants forever and also his band members who helped him produce those evergreen musical outputs which will never be outdated at anytime.
His music will last endless generations
Fantastic interview Dele, almighty Allah shall bless you with abundant wisdom and grace
Baba Obey Commander! Your music is my favorite and I emulate your attitude. You will live long 🙏 for us. Agbaletu Dele Adeyanju JP you are too much. More strength to you. Amen 🙏

How many JuJu musicians, including their band members, are as handsome as Baba Obey ? Does Segun know the definition of ugliness ?
I'm a big or die hard fan of Chief commander Ebenezer Obey, he is my first choice in Juju music, please talk to Chief commander on our behalf to help Alagba Vasco Da gama move his bolojo music on CD , we really missed his bolojo brand of music.
Likewise me too
From 60s to date
It might interest you sir, that Alagba here is not the same as Vasco Da Gama, the Bolojo crooner. They are two different people. Thank you sir.
Long life daddy temi nikan Ebenezer Obey more healthy strenght and vitality.
I love you daddy. Greetings from Bayern Germany.
A fantastic interview. I listened all through.Wells done Agbaletu.
Baba Ebenezer Obey is a complete gentleman. Looking at him alone touch me a lot. I learn a lot from this interview. He is a well accomplished man. We all need to be extremely patient in life. Thank you so much for all the evergreen musics you produced in our lifetime.
See a wellspring of values and character
Agbaletu, agba ni e ntoto. Agba ni nu awo odo. Mo gba'dun e pelu ori pipe ati oro agba e.❤❤❤
I love commander so much , he played all night at my father’s funeral in 1990 courtesy of the late MKO ,please Agbaletu I want this live play on you tube.

May Almighty God bless OBEY for his wisdom.
God bless you agbaletu..
Pray baba live long and hearty, happy to see him, no wonder his albums are evergreen, I really love and respect baba Obey more, this is what KSA and Kwam1 should have done too, to clarify things, all this didn't bring anyone down but it for your fans and future generations.
It's well, we all know what we are doing though!!!
I give it to Agbaletu and Ejire Nigbati, pray you live long to reap the fruits of your labour..
There’s a lot to learn from this interview ❤❤long live baba commander
More anointing to Grandpa Obey. Continue to age gracefully sir. Well done to Agbaletu.❤
Njemanze sir. Iwegbue from kwale
Baba Obey, you are a real father and a man of God to the core that I only recognize in Nigeria.
Agbaletu, thank you once again for bringing Chief Commander Baba Obey here. I still remember some of his music with nostalgia as my late dad played his "Araye o e bami jo ....Ogoji odun ti mo ti n babo". Emi baba maa gun ni alaafia. Thank you Agbaletu!

I agree with you bro, like how do they get their inspiration back then, the geniuses or talented in their bands, how they learn multiple musical instruments etc
Yes. Also how were their experiences abroad? What was life in Nigeria like back then?
But the band boys are given wrong impression painting the band leader bad and the people are believing it
Spot on brother! I have reiterated that on this platform. KSA & OBEY are accomplished musicians and should not be brought to the fore to start accounting for how and what happened between them and their former band members.

My man, you're very wrong. That's means you're supporting all these band leaders to be cheating their band boys?
❤Obey Baba Commander, God almighty will continue to bless you. Bravo.

The Adventure of A Wise Man...... Chief Ebenezer Obey.
Please Agbaletu 🙏 could you interview those Dr Orlando Owoh's Band Boys who are still alive?...I'm a fan of Kenery.
Thanks once again for an amazing interview, Agbaletu!
There's only one Baba Commander! God bless you real good,Baba! E maa pee fun wa loruko Jesu 🙏🙏🙏
This interview will be a reference for live of CEO in music, the interview is loaded and you could see him, how he gave answers to the questions, and even willingly talk about many other stories.

Please work on a date with KSA and Chief Obey at the same table, it will definitely enlighten generations. That will break the internet, and I really pray it happens soon. Good job, bro!
DON’T let ego……what a good advice from commander to band leaders. A man who has seen it all. He who has ears to listen, let him listen.
Agbaletu, when next you meet with Baba Obey, please do ask him for the name of that Oyibo onile keji, that shouted fa fa fire fire ki panapana to de....
Very insightful! Towards the end of the interview, the iconic OBEY himself talked about music composition. We'll like his to talk more about this in subsequent interviews. 😊 Agbaletu, congrats! 💐

Great interview with a great man of honour. Baba KSA should also do his teeming fans to grant this type of interview to clarify lots of lingering issues.
The way the guy talks, you can tell he is a good person
Commander is a very great guy...he talks good about his band boys...kudis baba❤
The dean of old skool and transparency... Always on the move. Keep the journalism going! 50K subscribers next. Lets go!
Thank you so much sir😄😄😄😄. I always read your encouraging comments 'as e dey drop'. We keep improving.
@deleadeyanju Love and respect you sir🙌🏾
Another masterpiece. Dele, more grace.
Ebenezer obey was so truthful about being evicted. David Olaleye was evicted for behind his rent payments.
I just love this Baba obey with passion
Long live baba ebenezer obey IN JESUS NAME
Baba Commander emi yin a tun bo gun si sir,more anointing.
That's life experience. It is those you love most that persecute you most.
Baba obey the ever green and highly polite and intelligent man. Love you Baba,
Very good interview. Thumps up Agbaletu
Baba Commander I have respect for your wisdom and calmness. Your style of music is healing to many souls! Thank u sir. Alafia .ni fun yin o, Lola Oluwa.
Mr. Agbaletu please bring Mr. Shina Peters to your studio to defend himself on allegations of slappings .
Agba yin a tun bo d'ale. Happy 82nd birthday Baba Obey.
Can we have another interview with Baba Obey where you talk about his music.Thats what most of us like and relate with Baba since our early days,not all about disgruntled band boys,even Baba’s late wife Juliana,how did he process the loss,his music is probably the most evergreen in the history of music at least in Yoruba land,and personally it brings back the memories of my late father as I remember his music on our gramophone on sallah day,what an icon,what an institution,together with King Sunny ade and fela anikulapo kuti,there will never ever be this talented musical trio that will reign for so long and still be relevant even up till todayic
Check my last two interviews with him dated 2018 & 2023. Thanks.
True. I watched those interviews
@deleadeyanju - You did an awesome job with this interview. I noticed Baba was more reflective, and he was sharing the wisdom of unconditional Love to be applied in all aspect of our lives. I will suggest you have a live show (a sing-along) with Baba where he sings to an Agidigbo beat system. We will do our part by donating to Agbaletu tv and Baba online.
The Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. The evergreen mastreo….Your music should be documented sir. Please we need to know the secret to your evergreen melodies.
Grace of God.
Baba Obey is truly a man God. This world is filled with envious people who blame their short comings on others.
Don’t move from band members stuff dats the main thing for outsiders like us everything revolves around dat. Carry on bro!❤
Your page and work, have keep me accompanying every day.
Keep the good work, your interviews have been the best of all, and they will stand as best of all time.
Thank you so much sir. We're trying to meet up. I believe we shall get there.
Baba commander...Ki emi ola o guun Sir, Olasupo Remilekun Fabiyi ❤
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ! Accusations by former band members against their band leaders should stop ! In any professional or occupational group one finds himself, it is extremely important to remember the future and plan for it. Blaming your woes on band leaders is untenable . A cue can be drawn from the amiable examples of the 3 pioneering band members from Akiko Area of ONDO State . They obediently and wisely took to Obey's counselling as regards acquiring a piece of land to build a house.
❤ this Father
Agba i Like the man too much since i was living at Clifford street Alago meji Lagos Thank's Agbaletu
Respect 🙏
Agbaletu, you are so dynamic. Bring sunny Ade too.
I wish you long life sir.
God will continue to renew your strength.
From my own personal experience in music, I deduce that Baba Obey drew musical inspiration from other talented musicians ; e.g. EMI YOO GBE OLUWA MI GA and OBLADI OBLADA 2. ORI BA YE MI and Rex Lawson's JOLLY PAPA; 3. ENI RI NKAN HE by Obey and ENI RI NKAN HE by Ambrose Campbell.
Baba Obey is a true reflection of Good Man. His humility is a top notch and worthy of emulation in this our generation.
Agbaletu is encyclopedia of Nigeria musicians
Dele Adeyanju, u resemble Baba Commander hooo, remember l told you when I first met you @ Methodist High school ilesa... hope Ebenezer obey songs are your favourite like mine?
Agbaletu gba Lara Orin lowo baba
Thank you, Thank you and thank you 😀😁👍
The question is, were you fair to them? There should be a written agreement. I hope the upcoming musicians can learn and do the right thing. Musicians are the boss, no doubt but the drummers and others deserve to be treated well. It is a collaborative business.
Agba letu, O unbere question bi omode. O se maa but agbalagba pe onu to some ti eniti o soro ba gbo to ko gba in a big. That is not good enough. Human being is complex, some people have dead conscience. Even when they are reminded of certain bad situation in which they are involved they will never admit. Asking baba Commander that question is insulting but being a good man he did not even count it
I'm certain he hasn't complained at least to anyone. Amo ese.
This is good move by Agbaletu.Please extend these opportunities to some other leaders who might have been similarly accused though I hope they will avail themselves of the opportunities.Weldone
He does try to but some of them like KSA are elusive and incredibly difficult to pin down.
I hope Baba can allow us soon sir. It will be a great opportunity.
Please who knows the Title of that song Obey sang for Sunny Ade ?
Sunny Ade, Sunny Ade mi o. Please who knows the title 🙏
Baba no ugly, Baba wa pa, obey si nlu ilu lo....
Commander.... Your music is evergreen. E pe fun wa o... Baba Obey
Baba was actually right about the akoko connection. I know all of them I grew up in d same area in egbe. Giwa arigidi n Lawrence olowonyo's children and my childhood friends
In 1986 or so there was a song which you sang sunny ade also sang same but with different tempo
Ori mi tete da MI lo hun
Ori Ori BA MI SE temi
Hi Agbeletu l do appreciate all you doing as regards to the music industry, most especially the juju and Fuji music.l feel it’s a great opportunity for you being able to seat to interview legends like Evangelist Ebenezer Obey and King Sunny Ade.l personally would appreciate if you could talk less of his band boys and do more in-depth interview of their personal life and the impact of their music.Chief Obey and King Sunny Ade are gradually getting old and l hope you are in a better position as a good journalist to assist them through your interviews to get their works well documented.Take care my friend and may you stay blessed.
Thank you sir. If you observe, this discussion is set for Baba to tell his side of the story against what some of his band members have said against him. That's how Baba wanted it and he must be given fair hearing. On his personal life, you can access my 2018 and 2023 interviews with him.
I appreciate your comment sir.
Onipetesi is located at Agege iloro. Baba can’t even recognize there again😂 we learning…Agbaletu carry on.
Hey. Agbaman. This is a hat trick; a coup. First Baba Onigbinde, now Baba Evangelist! Owo e a ma roke. But sha, you have to sort out your audio. God bless you brother!
Agbaletu, you still need to do another interview with BABA OBEY again to ask him HOW HE PREACE his fans.
I really enjoyed the interview with God bless you 🙏 ❤️ ☺️
Please who knows the title of the song he talks about the fire incident abroad.
Keresimesi Album.
Obey is deep and experienced. I’ve loved him all my life and I will continue to love forever. However his attitude to the band after he left the band was not good enough. Maybe the offshoot band, using the old music (which they were part of) were not giving him royalties like the other guy that was giving him 200k. His defense was weak. However it’s one of those things. We are all human as he’ll want to defend his legacy. The boys would not label such accusation against him if there was no iota of truth. All the same the interview was great. I respect obey for ever.
Baba Obey Commander ❤️💯
Agbaletu, I realized you have not talked to or interviewed Elder Vasco Da gama concerning his bolojo music career and we are looking forward to that, please make it happen.
Same names but not same persons.
Fasco Da Gama, the bolojo/juju musician, was an Egba man from Ijeja, Abeokuta.
Why can't you ppl also settle those boys well so that they can have a bright future
4:30 minutes
He asked for “Gafara”.
One of many Arabic words that have J walked into Yoruba language.
Life is funny. That man, Sikiru Adepoju who hails from Eruwa in Oyo State went ahead to win Grammy. "Sikiru Adepoju won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary World Music Album in 2008 for his contribution to the title album of Mickey Hart's Global Drum Project at the 51st annual Grammy"-wiki
One big issue that I see here is as a leader, when you have potential leaders or apparent leaders as your followers, there is need for a special management method.
Can I get contact for Baba Obey for a short birthday production
