Ebenezer Obey Turns 74 Today!..

Ebenezer Obey (born 3 April 1942 as Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Obey-Fabiyi in Idogo, Nigeria), nicknamed the "Chief Commander", is a Nigerian jùjú musician.

He began his professional career in the mid-1950s after moving to Lagos. After tutelage under Fatai Rolling-Dollar's band, he formed a band called The International Brothers in 1964, playing highlife–jùjú fusion. The band later metamorphosed into Inter-Reformers in the early-1970s, with a long list of Juju album hits on the West African Decca musical label.

Obey began experimenting with Yoruba percussion style and expanding on the band by adding more drum kits, guitars and talking drums. Obey's musical strengths lie in weaving intricate Yoruba axioms into dance-floor compositions. As is characteristic of Nigerian Yoruba social-circle music, the Inter-Reformers band excel in praise-singing for rich Nigerian socialites and business tycoons. Obey, however, is also renowned for Christian spiritual themes in his music and has since the early-1990s retired into Nigerian gospel music ministry.

His songs are timeless and evergreen not all this tongolo noise this indomie generation are producing that they call songs

Obey miliki...l just love his easy- going way of life.
No lewd music, no rofo rofo fights or verbal abuse..
Just pure, nice and didactic and sensible music.
My favorites are: lmmotarlity ( for awolowo) , Determination, victory, Old man and a donkey, peace, womanhood, security, ambition....just to mention but a few...
l sure enjoyed his music when l was growing up because he is my father's favorite.
Not the nonsense our kids are exposed to these days..
God bless Chief Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi..

Good.

Happy Birthday sir
