There is nothing as good as old wine! Long life Chief Ebenezer Obey. As I am about to turn 70 in 2024, I continue to dance to your music. Long life Chief Ebenezer!

[@lakeside4jesus]

Happy birthday in advance sir,I tap into this grace to live up to 70 and beyond ❤

[@bolouugo7777]

I am an ijaw man from Bayelsa who doesn't understand a word of Yoruba but in love with this evergreen musuc of Obey. Has replaced the cassette about three times each time it cracked. Developed love for it as a kid growing up in Nigeria of the 70s.

[@vesponerobinson5553]

As an Italian, I recently discovered Obey thanks to the story of "Ajala the traveler" and I became passionate about him. I believe that, like our scooter travelers Patrignani, Bettinelli, Amoretti (he also used a Lambretta), Ajala has "paved the way" for your travelers. First Nigerian in many places around the world. I think they had a great time together.

Its because we didn't want to like anything our parents liked.

Kenni, sorry for your loss. When Daddy passed while everybody was fighting for land, house and material things, I asked for his Longines watch from 1929, his books and his music collection.
