To err is human, but forgiveness is divine.No wonder God is blessing KSA and he gives him sounds health and long life. Long may he continue to live in Jesus name
Wow! God bless Bob Aladeniyi for being truthful, no wonder he received the favor of KSA his master. Some other ones like Segun Awe will come here and talk disrespectfully about KSA and Obey. It is good to be good. God bless KSA, God bless Bob Aladeniyi
Otunba Sunday Anthony Adéníyì Adégẹyè (MFR) is a destiny child. I can't even count the torrents of battle he contented with within and without for so many years and he won them all. His spiritual life must be studied. This session with Bob Aladeniyi has, in my opinion, vindicated KSA in many ways and has further nuanced his relationship with other disgruntled ex-band members and I'm happy about it. That said, no one can deny the place of Bob Aladeniyi in history, especially when names of top guitarists in this part of the world are called for scrutiny. There are also few innocuous miss of fact from him in this interview. The "Ẹ Kìlọ̀ f'ọ́mọ ọdẹ" isn't actually KSA song. It was Ambrose Campbell's song. Aside, the time KSA used the song was in contrast to when Empror Pick Peters blossomed with his Ọmọ Ọdẹ hit. Ditto for the song he surreptitiously claimed KSA used to ditch him, " Mo rí Sisi méjì níta faji....." which ended with " Juju lẹ ó fàbọ́ sí ooo.." It was one of those old Babas songs. May God preserve the lives of KSA and Bob Aladeniyi.
Let's compare what this man said with others.we need appreciate Bob Aladeniyi despite what happened in between and KSA still good to him, so is KSA a bad person to compared with..
I think some of the old members that don't have good things to say about KSA should search their conscience I listened to the interview one of them gave where he called KSA all sorts of names while at the same time seeking assistance from him .I don't see him getting a lot of sympathy .
I really love this man Bob Aladeniyi. I’ve always loved him and his wizardry on the guitar knowing he was the main guitarist to which KSA takes the credit (expectedly so anyway being the leader). But I’ve never had the opportunity to have a plain truth of event that played out until now. I’ve always love KSA for his success in the industry and the grace of God upon his life to still continue up till now and the great gesture towards Bob. It’s very uncommon from a mortal man despite the rebellion of the past. I wish Bob well only that I really missed his combination with Sunny on the stage. Great interview!!!
Baba Bob Aladeniyi takes nature of a legend. Thank you for coming out so clean about yourself and King Sunny Ade. Ejire, thank you for this by making them, everyone of the legend to take us to a memory lane. More blessings.
Breath of fresh air. I commented straight after watching Rasaq Aladokun and Abiodun Fatoke's interviews on King Sunny Ade's treatment of former band members. Rasaq Aladokun had to abscond while on tour to get a better life. Selfish? I don't think so.These band members are part of KSA's legacy.This interview is heartwarming. Maybe the King can extend similar gesture of goodwill to these former band members who stood by him when he was ill in the 90s. King Sunny Ade is a good man.
Fantastic interview. Sadly we lost Kennery band legendary bass guitarist Chief Sunday Adeboye popularly known as Sunny Adeboye few days ago. He was one of the tripod legs of Chief Orlando Owoh music.(Orlando-voice, Ade conga- conga, Sunny Adeboye- bass guitar) May their souls rest in perfect peace. This is why it's very important to hear from these legends before they pass on. Alagba Bob Aladeniyi was frank and factual in his story. He is a great talented artist. How I wish KSA could replicate same kind gesture to the remaining surviving band members. Please interview the last surviving foundation member of late I.K Dairo's band, Pa Gabriel Ojo Fasoyin aka Bros Guinea. Eire and crew are doing a very good job and history will be kind to them.
I'm happy to hear all these from Baba Bob Aladeniyi himself and the fact that he was sincere.. God bless the interviewer. I pray that Bob Aladeniyi's efforts will never be in vain though you failed king Sunny Ade but Sunny's liberal heart has re united the two of you. I pray for long life for you.
There's lesson to be learned that one should wait for his/her time. Thanks KSA that he really loves Baba Bobs to the end. Loyalty should be 100%. They're lots of battle KSA went through with bands members that's not knowing to everybody.
As much as I enjoyed this interview, I am surprised he never said anything about Dr Orlando Owoh despite the fact that he is originally from Owoh. Dr Orlando Owoh praised Bob Aladeniyi in his album Jealousy jealousy in which he sang Aladeniyi tewo gba ire Owoh nile Baba re Bobby mi da. Sometimes I wonder why Baba Nigbati would only say Sunny ade and Obey are the two prominent musicians. You've all forgotten that Dr Orlando Owoh played major role in music industry. It's sad you failed 😢 to realise Dr Orlando Owoh remains one of the greatest musician. Dr Orlando Owoh a multi talented musician that played all types of musical instruments.
Good point but the interview was clearly about BA's time and relationship with KSA and his band. It wasn't about musicians from Owoh. Dr Orlando would only have come up had BA worked with him which he didn't or had Ejire asked BA about his relationship with Dr OO who wasn't a Juju musician in the true sense of the definition.
Good interview and I actually appreciate it, baba Bob is a Maradona but straight forward, that was the reason KSA beloved him. Eni Olorun da ni baba Bob.
Bob Aladeniyi didn't betray anybody in this case. He tried his luck on Baba Abioro but lacked the sophistication that was needed for the deal. However, one thing usually naturally happens when a less powerful person goes in between two more powerful beings, it always happens that such individual get injured at the end of such encounter between the powerful gladiators. Now I thank God for the magnanimity of KSA and I love Bob for his understanding of the whole situation. May God preserve the lives of both of you in Jesus name AMEN.

Uncle Bob, we thank God that you alive to tell your story. Learning continues to the end of one's life, even, after. How many people have old musicians trained to succeed them or sustain their legacy? How many of them can beat their chests and say he did not involve in metaphysic or spirituality. Gift at times might stand for appeasement ? Oniku lo mo ka. Aye to to, aye akamara Oju ogun laye. Orun lo mo.enti yoo.la...
Kudos to Ejire for to this down to earth interview with Ace Solo guitarist,Bob Aladeniyi.... Will appreciate if you can reach out for Michael Babalola (Captain KSA band) and Segun Ilori, the Solo guitarist with KSA after Bob Aladeniyi departure from the Bank.. Thanks
Very interesting interview in which l enjoyed fully. In regarding to other past band members. Psalm 90:17 "says Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!" I wouldn't say more than that.
Clearly KSA's relationship with those other band members was different to the one he had with Bob Aladeniyi who was instrumental in raising his profile to have become a name in Juju music in those early days. He is also a man who goes around seeking spiritual guidance and who without doubt had been given spiritual messages of his debt of gratitude to BA. That said, it is crystal clear that KSA and BA's separation from each other was down to the devious and self-serving scheme of Bolarinwa Abioro - he did the same to Emperor Pick Peters. What a man! Whilst the 1982 ill-fated KSA's band trip to Japan seemed to have been the catalyst that damaged KSA's relationship with the others irreparably - breakdown of trust. Hearing all I've heard from so many people on both sides now, KSA does owe a debt of gratitude to ALL of those other band members. He ought to recognise the fact that they weren't his subordinates. They were his PARTNERS in the Band. Comrade Rasaq Aladokun encapsulated this point beautifully in the interview he made with Ejire recently. I pray KSA make amends with these people before it is too late for him to do so.
TUALE sir for baba BOB Aladeniyi. Please encourage baba BOB to establish an outfit where he can train young people about how to play guitar. A foundation should help him in this regards.
Another great and enlightening interview, courtesy of Ejire and Nigbati TV. Given Bob Aladeniyi's reputation as the leading and pioneer guitarist, it would have been nice for Ejire to have asked Bob Aladeniyi as to why KSA in those days called himself and was popularly known as "The Master Guitarist" when it looks obvious from all of these interviews that KSA himself neither played lead guitar nor seems to have played much of it at all in his released records. It'll be nice to know this.
In the juju genre, KSA was arguably the best guitar player among the band leaders, so the title Master Guitarist was well justified. It is difficult to be the singer and play lead guitar. The lead guitar automatically has to go to another professional. Otherwise, KSA himself is talented enough to be a lead guitar in another band. And KSA was without question the most talented instrumentalist and the best musician of his generation. He was able to play every instrument and drums in the band decently. Shina Peters' dexterity with Guitar was as good or better than KSA, but SP was not KSA's generation, and he struggled as a singer, and barely rose beyond his Guitar playing past under Prince Adekunle, and in his short-lived partnership with Segun Adewale.
KSA is truly a master guitarist and a pioneer of the most danceable guitar in vogue. He is the one that played Shikira onisekuse tun de, not that Bob Aladeniyi could not play it. But the sound is King Sunny Ade's lead guitar. To Bob Aladeniyi's credit, He has become so famous before Ekilo Fomode, where Shikira onisekuse tun de was played. Bob Aladeniyi's guitar work in Sunny ti de, Oro tonlo, Afai Bawonja, and Sehinde has already put him in the limelight. Bob Aladeniyi is not in the class of Monday John at all. Shina Peters can not play guitar better than Sunny Ade. Quite Easily Done (QED)
@@bunmiade9767 No ma or sir. The lead guitar after Bob Aladeniyi played *Sikira onisekuse tun de* You see most of the guitar work in KSA albums was automatically attributed to KSA by us, his fans, whereas most were done by the guitarists in the band, without credit. With respect to Guitar playing alone, it is a disservice to compare KSA to Shina Peters (revising my earlier opinion). I have had countless opportunities to see both of them in play, and I can tell you authoritatively that there is no comparison. I first saw Shina Peters on Saturday April 1, 1972, a 15 year old kid, and he was the most outstanding star of General Prince Adekunle band. That was the first time in my life where a guitarist rather than a singer carried the show. He was being sprayed as much as Prince Adekunle throughout the night. The 2nd day April 2, 1972 (Sunday) was when Nigeria changed from Left Hand Driving to Right Hand Driving. We went to that party on LHD and returned in the morning on RHD, but the roads were mostly empty with soldiers everywhere trying to ensure the change went well. Shina was in the class of Aladeniyi, and was primarily a guitarist. He struggled and still struggles with singing and lyric composition.
Go and listen to Segun Awe interview on Agbaletu. KSA played lead guitar, Bob played solo while Ohiri played tenor. Awe did all the analysis. Awe wasnt in KSA band, he was in Obey band, but he knew all of them cos they were contemporaries. Awe analysed e kilo fomo ode, and the major guitar works there, how KSA, Bob and Ohiri were replying eachother. KSA is a guitar wizard. You can check his old albums cover and see the instrumentalists there, you will understand who played what.
I wont argue whether SSP plays guitar better than KSA. SSP is a wizard as well, but he couldnot sing with guitar, KSA did effortlessly. Meanwhile, Bob was something else, but for proper classification, KSA played lead guitar in his own band when Bob was there. Bob was playing solo while Ohiri tenor. KSA album mart even cleared that.@@idowumohammed4689
KSA is a special human being. Dont have problem with him, you will have problem. He has spent 60 years on stage consistently and remained relevant all through. Among all his contemporaries, he has outlived everyone on stage.
Ejire, nice interview. With regards to your repeated question about the relevance of Juju music in this generation. You need to understand that music is never static but always evolving. Juju, Fuji are all genres of Afro beats which has evolved into the current yoruba hip hop
At least somebody is here to say the truth about KSA, it is only this man and Alhaji Tiamiyu that accepted the fact that KSA is never their enemy and that KSA is a nice ma. KSA, please ride on ❤. Bob Aladeniyi, I really thank you for saying the truth, those that knows this story know that you have said the truth.
Bob had a deciding moments with KSA and the records he made with him were epic, especially e kilo fomo ode. The guitar works in the records is second to none. The other band members who felt aggrieved may not get anything, unless they repair the relationships with KSA. You cant be fighting somebody, left his band on fights and grudges and you expect him to pay you a pension that was never on paper. They should come around the settle with him. In times of guitar in the 70s, Bob, Sina Peters, Oliver D Coque, Victor Owaifo were wizards.
The problem of those people before Mr Bob is pride and apart they are malicious. Bob is frank plain and liberal he is not dwelling on the past unlike people before him. Like a house help, imagine how KSA would just call on him and this guy would respond. The old guys should learn how to let go and begin to make friend with KSA. OGA NI OGA NI OGA NJE LAI LAI. NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS KSA IS OUR MAN
God will help KSA to touch base with the disgruntled ex members for history sake. KSA is a legend and part of Nigeria story. Ejire, kudos to you and your team again
God won't help KSA to do that as God is busy with many more important things. It is KSA himself that has to do a bit of soul searching and reach out to those people and make peace with them, however little. What for example could be wrong with him inviting all of those former band member for a Xmas get together this December so they can felicitate together, air their views openly and the reach a settlement which he can fulfil? Nothing except for the will to do it. Hearing for example that he refused to answer calls (and gave run arounds) to the likes of Baba Femi Owomoyela with whom he grew up as a child in Osogbo was saddening and heart breaking. It made me see KSA in a very different light. Even his old compatriot Apoola King, Evangelist Idowu Animasahun said the same thing when he said "Sunny o ni adehun". How unfortunate for this flawed legend?
Nigbati TV and the crews, thanks for your great program that every fans of these great musicians members that you brought to this program. But, i have to disagree with you for saying Bob Aladeniyi was first solo guitarist in the Country. The number one solo guitarist in Nigeria now and forever is Paul Tao, no doubt if you hear what this guy is playing, is uncomfortable.
In this life add value to wherever you find yourself. Bob was not entitled and is always bringing something to the table. The others, are somewhat dispensable, were entitled and half valued. We should recognise the difference.
Bob aladeniyi is the most honest of them all, KSA himself could not get his own Royalty from Abioro, you left the band but you failed. God sustained KSA even after bob separation. bob was on minor tenor he play it very well, and he admitted KSA was highly talented. bob left after ekilo fomo ode, but the record after that was also as good as ekilo fomo ode that is MO Ti MON O, MORI sisi meji ni ita faji!. KSA carry himself up till the moment. those people have been so greedy from the begining want it all ultimately lead to separation. now they want to blame you for their misfortune, obviously they dont wish KSA well at the point of separation if KSA had failed they careless now they wont be talking about royalty! they are nothing but parasite, they were on pay as you go, share the revenue together when they were still member of the group. please people eni olorun fe lolorun yan. judge a righteous judgement. iba.
Now I can forgive Sunny Ade cos I thought he still keep malice with Bob I love Sunny to heaven but with exist of Bob I took my exit with juju music in fact a break with bob was the collapse of juju music as we know it. If Bob goes back to Sunny Ade will spell the resurrection of juju again. Please go back to Sunny Ade in Jesus name before he goes back to his grave
Serously, they need to do an album in the style of the old classic. KSA is still active and he still releases albums even till now. Bob hands on solo wire, na fire.
@ Nigbati tv, you need to help us locate Ebenezer obey Hawaiian guitarist. There is Juju Musician that used Hawaiian guitar 🎸 like Ebenezer obey, pls we will like to know the person behind the Hawaiian guitar. Thanks
No wonder I now realise that all those people talks were as a result of envy because he has done for one, and what they are thinking is that whatever good for the geese is also good for the gander. He must have done for them but not as he had done for Bob Adeniyi.
What you did has no other name other than betrayal, more so coming at that very time Sunny Ade fell out with Abioro and got banned by the court from recording for six months. The height of treachery
There's no betrayal. There was a working relationship, and there's nothing stopping the other person from moving on, to greener pastures despite that that may turn out to be a mirage.
I think Bob Aladeniyi betrayed KSA and about the accident that happened to you sir it was because you have it in mind you want to play late Abioro, he took you to buy instruments which is not for free, you supposed to pay him back and i think about the accident you caused it. May the soul of the departed rest in peace and thank God that you are alive sir .ASEGBE KAN KO SI
You are terribly judgmental of BA when you have no more idea that a goat, all that happened. I'd suggest you stay neutral rather than cast judgment on things you weren't part of and that you don't know fully.
I hope you are leading a rich and successful life; but if you are not, It would be safe to assume this attitude of yours is why you haven’t gone far in like Debolek or whatever you call yourself.
did you listen to the interview or you read people's comment. from what he said it obviously lack of communication. he didn't betray him, was there an agreement about the instrument? this man was open through out in the interview
To err is human, but forgiveness is divine.No wonder God is blessing KSA and he gives him sounds health and long life.
Long may he continue to live in Jesus name
Amen
It is good to be good 👍
May God continue to bless King Sunny Ade and also Bob Aladeniyi and all both band members.
Wow! God bless Bob Aladeniyi for being truthful, no wonder he received the favor of KSA his master. Some other ones like Segun Awe will come here and talk disrespectfully about KSA and Obey. It is good to be good. God bless KSA, God bless Bob Aladeniyi
This man is full of truth.
Nice interview. He was honest, direct and upfront. Kudos Ejirę Oyila ! Weldone.
No matter your situation in life,try to align with truth always and God will support you to rise and shine without struggling to be ☝️

There's lesson to be learned that one should wait for his/her time. Thanks KSA that he really loves Baba Bobs to the end. Loyalty should be 100%.
They're lots of battle KSA went through with bands members that's not knowing to everybody.
I doubt it's that simple.
@@ultimateone You are absolutely correct. The constant rebellion of band members, their greed, and disloyalty.
Am loving this KSA edition and his old band…. Great job
Have been hearing about this wonderful man they call Bob aladeniyi...May almighty God give baba long life and good health inshallahu amin 🙏❤❤❤❤.....
Another awesome interview. Baba Bob was a key member of the KSA's band in those days.
I'm knowing him for the first time. He isn't perfect but is a honest man. God used that virtue to favor him.
Hmmmm... very interesting 👌. This is just one in a million positive 👍 things about KSA which is so much different from others. Kudos 👏 ejire
As much as I enjoyed this interview, I am surprised he never said anything about Dr Orlando Owoh despite the fact that he is originally from Owoh. Dr Orlando Owoh praised Bob Aladeniyi in his album Jealousy jealousy in which he sang Aladeniyi tewo gba ire Owoh nile Baba re Bobby mi da.
Sometimes I wonder why Baba Nigbati would only say Sunny ade and Obey are the two prominent musicians. You've all forgotten that Dr Orlando Owoh played major role in music industry. It's sad you failed 😢 to realise Dr Orlando Owoh remains one of the greatest musician.

Yes. KSA's song in his 'A Ye Wa' album where he praised all his band members.
I think Bob Aladeniyi has a child innocence and a honest man.He is a truthful fellow. That is why he got his due from Sunny
Yes
Very honest Man......this life can be funny
Good interview pls try and get Bàbà Ani on the show cos I'm sure that man will have a lot to say about Fela and the good old days plssssssssssss

And KSA was without question the most talented instrumentalist and the best musician of his generation. He was able to play every instrument and drums in the band decently. Shina Peters' dexterity with Guitar was as good or better than KSA, but SP was not KSA's generation, and he struggled as a singer, and barely rose beyond his Guitar playing past under Prince Adekunle, and in his short-lived partnership with Segun Adewale.
KSA is truly a master guitarist and a pioneer of the most danceable guitar in vogue. He is the one that played Shikira onisekuse tun de, not that Bob Aladeniyi could not play it. But the sound is King Sunny Ade's lead guitar. To Bob Aladeniyi's credit, He has become so famous before Ekilo Fomode, where Shikira onisekuse tun de was played. Bob Aladeniyi's guitar work in Sunny ti de, Oro tonlo, Afai Bawonja, and Sehinde has already put him in the limelight. Bob Aladeniyi is not in the class of Monday John at all. Shina Peters can not play guitar better than Sunny Ade. Quite Easily Done (QED)
@@bunmiade9767 No ma or sir. The lead guitar after Bob Aladeniyi played *Sikira onisekuse tun de* You see most of the guitar work in KSA albums was automatically attributed to KSA by us, his fans, whereas most were done by the guitarists in the band, without credit.
With respect to Guitar playing alone, it is a disservice to compare KSA to Shina Peters (revising my earlier opinion). I have had countless opportunities to see both of them in play, and I can tell you authoritatively that there is no comparison. I first saw Shina Peters on Saturday April 1, 1972, a 15 year old kid, and he was the most outstanding star of General Prince Adekunle band. That was the first time in my life where a guitarist rather than a singer carried the show. He was being sprayed as much as Prince Adekunle throughout the night. The 2nd day April 2, 1972 (Sunday) was when Nigeria changed from Left Hand Driving to Right Hand Driving. We went to that party on LHD and returned in the morning on RHD, but the roads were mostly empty with soldiers everywhere trying to ensure the change went well. Shina was in the class of Aladeniyi, and was primarily a guitarist. He struggled and still struggles with singing and lyric composition.
Go and listen to Segun Awe interview on Agbaletu. KSA played lead guitar, Bob played solo while Ohiri played tenor. Awe did all the analysis. Awe wasnt in KSA band, he was in Obey band, but he knew all of them cos they were contemporaries. Awe analysed e kilo fomo ode, and the major guitar works there, how KSA, Bob and Ohiri were replying eachother. KSA is a guitar wizard. You can check his old albums cover and see the instrumentalists there, you will understand who played what.
I wont argue whether SSP plays guitar better than KSA. SSP is a wizard as well, but he couldnot sing with guitar, KSA did effortlessly. Meanwhile, Bob was something else, but for proper classification, KSA played lead guitar in his own band when Bob was there. Bob was playing solo while Ohiri tenor. KSA album mart even cleared that.@@idowumohammed4689
Nice one,LekanAnimashaun of fela’s band is still alive,you can get him through kalakuta museum
Bob baba we use to live in shomolu back in the 80s
KSA is a special human being. Dont have problem with him, you will have problem. He has spent 60 years on stage consistently and remained relevant all through. Among all his contemporaries, he has outlived everyone on stage.
Well said!!! Thanks for watching!
Ejire, nice interview. With regards to your repeated question about the relevance of Juju music in this generation. You need to understand that music is never static but always evolving. Juju, Fuji are all genres of Afro beats which has evolved into the current yoruba hip hop
At least somebody is here to say the truth about KSA, it is only this man and Alhaji Tiamiyu that accepted the fact that KSA is never their enemy and that KSA is a nice ma.
KSA, please ride on ❤.
Bob Aladeniyi, I really thank you for saying the truth, those that knows this story know that you have said the truth.
Good talk!
Bob had a deciding moments with KSA and the records he made with him were epic, especially e kilo fomo ode. The guitar works in the records is second to none. The other band members who felt aggrieved may not get anything, unless they repair the relationships with KSA. You cant be fighting somebody, left his band on fights and grudges and you expect him to pay you a pension that was never on paper. They should come around the settle with him.
In times of guitar in the 70s, Bob, Sina Peters, Oliver D Coque, Victor Owaifo were wizards.
Good suggestion! Thanks for watching!!
Legendary. Thank you Ejire and Co! Made my day! 👏🏿😀
KSA is just a wonderful man❤. Despite bobs attitude to him, he still paid him with goodness
Good work keep it up
Thank you!
Very sincere man
Kudos baba Bob!
A lots to learn from this story, let us be careful because of money.
Very well said! Thank you
The problem of those people before Mr Bob is pride and apart they are malicious. Bob is frank plain and liberal he is not dwelling on the past unlike people before him. Like a house help, imagine how KSA would just call on him and this guy would respond. The old guys should learn how to let go and begin to make friend with KSA. OGA NI OGA NI OGA NJE LAI LAI. NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS KSA IS OUR MAN
I enjoyed this interview. I can’t stop laughing.😂😂😂
Glad you did!
God will help KSA to touch base with the disgruntled ex members for history sake. KSA is a legend and part of Nigeria story.
Ejire, kudos to you and your team again
God won't help KSA to do that as God is busy with many more important things. It is KSA himself that has to do a bit of soul searching and reach out to those people and make peace with them, however little. What for example could be wrong with him inviting all of those former band member for a Xmas get together this December so they can felicitate together, air their views openly and the reach a settlement which he can fulfil? Nothing except for the will to do it. Hearing for example that he refused to answer calls (and gave run arounds) to the likes of Baba Femi Owomoyela with whom he grew up as a child in Osogbo was saddening and heart breaking. It made me see KSA in a very different light. Even his old compatriot Apoola King, Evangelist Idowu Animasahun said the same thing when he said "Sunny o ni adehun". How unfortunate for this flawed legend?
NIGBATI is doing well
Well, such is life. No one wants to be a servant forever. The top is d sweetest, although may sometimes b hot.
You're absolutely right! Life is all about striving for those sweet moments at the top, even if the journey gets a little toasty sometimes.
Nigbati TV and the crews, thanks for your great program that every fans of these great musicians members that you brought to this program. But, i have to disagree with you for saying Bob Aladeniyi was first solo guitarist in the Country. The number one solo guitarist in Nigeria now and forever is Paul Tao, no doubt if you hear what this guy is playing, is uncomfortable.
Thank you sir. We all love Paul Tao, but he and many others said the Baba is Bob Aladeniyi.
Very honest man.
You have really enlightened me with these responses. God bless you and KSA. Only an angel can do so.
In this life add value to wherever you find yourself. Bob was not entitled and is always bringing something to the table. The others, are somewhat dispensable, were entitled and half valued. We should recognise the difference.
Well said. Thanks for watching!
Bob aladeniyi is the most honest of them all, KSA himself could not get his own Royalty from Abioro,
you left the band but you failed. God sustained KSA even after bob separation. bob was on minor tenor
he play it very well, and he admitted KSA was highly talented. bob left after ekilo fomo ode, but the record after that was also as good as ekilo fomo ode that is MO Ti MON O, MORI sisi meji ni ita faji!.
KSA carry himself up till the moment. those people have been so greedy from the begining want it all ultimately lead to separation. now they want to blame you for their misfortune, obviously they dont wish KSA well at the point of separation if KSA had failed they careless now they wont be talking about royalty! they are nothing but parasite, they were on pay as you go, share the revenue together when they were still member of the group. please people eni olorun fe lolorun yan. judge a righteous judgement.
iba.
Sir, Please we will love you to schedule an interview with KSA to clarify some of the issues and to set the record straight.
Haha, we wish we have the opportunity to interview Baba KSA too! We will keep trying our best to make it happen. Stay tuned!
That is what all of us are waiting for. Either him or Agbaletu should interview KSA directly to clear things
I love this man
This is nice!!!
Legendary guitarist
I am one of Bob Aladeniyi fan
HE MUST HAVE DONE ABOUT 20-PLUS ALBUMS WITH SUNNY ADE FROM 1969-1976. KING SUNNY ADE HAS 123 ALBUMS.
Thanks for the information.
Bob of Bob
Now I can forgive Sunny Ade cos I thought he still keep malice with Bob I love Sunny to heaven but with exist of Bob I took my exit with juju music in fact a break with bob was the collapse of juju music as we know it.
If Bob goes back to Sunny Ade will spell the resurrection of juju again. Please go back to Sunny Ade in Jesus name before he goes back to his grave
Serously, they need to do an album in the style of the old classic. KSA is still active and he still releases albums even till now. Bob hands on solo wire, na fire.
@ Nigbati tv, you need to help us locate Ebenezer obey Hawaiian guitarist. There is Juju Musician that used Hawaiian guitar 🎸 like Ebenezer obey, pls we will like to know the person behind the Hawaiian guitar. Thanks
It is layiwola Adisa now lai addis.He was behind the Hawaiian guitar in the early 80s to the 90s.He is a juju musician now
Wea is Papa King Sunny Ade ? Eager to see him sir.
He is in Ondo City. Still very active on stage.
KSA lives in Bariga, Lagos, with his family.
Kindly support our efforts to preserve the Yoruba culture and arts by clicking the THANKS button above, to buy a Super Thanks!!!
these guys where way ahead of their time, only limited by the backwardness of the nigerian system
Yes, it's unfortunate when talented individuals are held back by systemic issues. Let's hope for progress in the future!
No wonder I now realise that all those people talks were as a result of envy because he has done for one, and what they are thinking is that whatever good for the geese is also good for the gander. He must have done for them but not as he had done for Bob Adeniyi.
Who played omode o'mela
Thanks for watching!
Akanda eniyan ni KSA
A flawed genius for sure.
@@ultimateone just as we are not all perfect. It is only GOD that is perfect.
@@ultimateone u are kidding right. KSA TI LO MO WO LOWO
Nobody is perfect. All the legends we celebrate now, KSA, Obey, Barry, Fela all had faults, but we must agree they are all geniuses@@ultimateone
KSA the king himself
Chief ABIORO has never been mentioned in good light with various interviews of different personalities.
Rip to Bob ehiri
BOB ALADENIYI BETRAYED KSA
But KSA forgave hm and they are now cool
What is killing juju music is politics .
We completely agree! Politics can have a huge impact on the music industry, and it's unfortunate to see it affecting juju music in particular.
What you did has no other name other than betrayal, more so coming at that very time Sunny Ade fell out with Abioro and got banned by the court from recording for six months. The height of treachery
Asiko oni kaluku ototo ni o. Eni ti Olorun ba ran sini ni seni loore
Thanks for watching!
This man a is big time betrayer and he has no shame about his treachery. The question is, what did they become with all those Abioro equipments?
Good talk. Thanks for watching!
He was tempted to leave Sunny,and we see the outcome of the traitor.
The gifts of Sunny brought Bob to limelight.
Eniti Olorunda,kose farawe
There's no betrayal. There was a working relationship, and there's nothing stopping the other person from moving on, to greener pastures despite that that may turn out to be a mirage.
Odale - Traitor
People make mistakes
I think Bob Aladeniyi betrayed KSA and about the accident that happened to you sir it was because you have it in mind you want to play late Abioro, he took you to buy instruments which is not for free, you supposed to pay him back and i think about the accident you caused it. May the soul of the departed rest in peace and thank God that you are alive sir .ASEGBE KAN KO SI
Betrayal is relative, think what you have personally did to others.
You are terribly judgmental of BA when you have no more idea that a goat, all that happened. I'd suggest you stay neutral rather than cast judgment on things you weren't part of and that you don't know fully.
@@popsonjaiyesimi7670 Thank you.
I hope you are leading a rich and successful life; but if you are not, It would be safe to assume this attitude of yours is why you haven’t gone far in like Debolek or whatever you call yourself.
did you listen to the interview or you read people's comment. from what he said it obviously lack of communication. he didn't betray him, was there an agreement about the instrument? this man was open through out in the interview
You try sir, you not an ingrate
