Multi-talented entertainer and gospel music maestro, Ebenezer Fabiyi Obey, clocks 75 on Monday.The veteran musician has been described by many including Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari as one of the living icons and a pride to the nation as a whole.
Obey started his professional career in the mid-1950s after moving to Lagos, where he formed a band named “The International Brothers’’ in 1964, playing highlife-juju fusion.
He transformed the band into Inter-Reformers in the early-1970s, with a long list of Juju album hits on the West African Decca musical label.
Obey has successfully released over 100 albums and the ones yet to be released are uncountable.
We wish chief commander Ebenezer Obey a happy birthday and sound health.
