Though only God almigty alone remains incomparable. But up til now i dont think any presenter can be compared to this man, even his burial was unique. I dont know what the future holds but no FIBAN member has equalled him up to this moment. Rest on Prince.....benga esa ogbin ara ogbojo, onike amuseye, esa ogbin ja loja, ike laro ni'le, omo gbandu gbandu oni'ke. 3 Likes |

Gbenga Adeboye, the funniest man FIBAN has ever produced. I got to knw this man when he died. And I ended up in buying almost 20 of his albums including- London Yabis, Exposure, Discovery, Research, Old Strokes among others. Wale Dada sounded like him, I don't knw why he stopped. 4 Likes |

btaliat: You are wrong young man. Gbenga adeboye was sick earlier, he was almost dead but he woke up back and recovered from the sickness. He was warned from drinking but he continued. Below is the link to the record he did after he recovered from the sickness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=125&v=DAnrMdCZs3Q 1 Like |

juman:both of you are correct to some extent. It was rumoured that bayowa(gbenga Adewusi) conspired wit his(Adeboye's) wife to poison him. But doctors confirmed that he died of kidney related ailment. The fact is that he was sick but the sickness seems to be spiritually backed up. If you listen carefully to his last album 'aye toto' and 'omo majemu' by seun Adeboye, also one other album by late kayode Adeboye his brother, you wil believe that his ailment has spiritual backedup. But im not insinuating that he was killed by his friend or wife o. God knows best. 2 Likes |
