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.

[@michaelbabson8143]

Because media in Nigeria like to promote western culture as superior to African culture

[@Bizz2k]

Its because we didn't want to like anything our parents liked. I heard juju, highlife etc when parents played it at home , naija owambe or street vendors played and I just didn't wanna hear when I had American imported music or reggae. But now, I listen to it and have been forced understand the lyrics.
