Ebenezer Obey- Eye To Ba Fara Wegun

Track 1, Evergreen Songs Original 20 / Album: Igba Owuro Lawa, Track 1

[@softamibeauty9187]

I’m an Igbo girl that grew up in the south south of Nigeria. My first encounter with Chief Commander Ebenezer obey’s music, was when I was posted to Lagos for my Nysc back in 2017. My landlady would play his songs every morning, it was like I was hypnotized by his instruments, his voice and his type of sound. I don’t understand a single word he is saying but I feel he is always calling me to dance with his music 😂. Now I have a whole playlist of his music and I can’t explain the joy and sense of nostalgia I feel whenever I listen to this great man.

[@emmanuellawanson9958]

God bless you for this. Obey's songs are philosophical and always full of praises to God Almighty.

[@olufemiobikoya416]

Softami Beauty, where have you been all my life, I have been searching for a classy lover of Obey's music like you.

[@osaijames2231]

You are not alone, every Igbo person that hears Mr Obey music always love it, most especially the instrumental construction it is a slow food to the souls that if you can't dance you just relax and let it massage your soul. It is like listening to Chief Osita. this very track always brighten up me and my Landlord in those days in Lagos...

[@mrasouthwestzonesecuritype7962]

Honestly chief Ebenezer obey is a God sent

[@rickyshwarz]

Bless up ma

[@gyzziman]

I remember this song traveling in my dad's range rover from Auchi to Benin City, in the 70s as a boy. Still appreciate his music till today.

[@oluwaseunadedoyin3864]

Your dad must know what's up then. I just bought my Land Rovers and I fell in love with it instantly. First time sampling British product, had always been driving Japanese and German!

[@olaakiode6633]

Commander's music is like Wine..........the older the wine gets, the better it becomes. .....Baba Commander eyi yato ..

[@segunakintunde608]

Each time I listen to Obeys oldies I remember my Dad of blessed memory cos he has his collection's

[@OOlasokan]

I leaned more to Sunny Ade's music in the 70s but I appreciate Obey's music now. His music is melodious, philosophical, full of wisdom and timeless. As long as people understand the Yoruba language, Obey's music will transcends several generations to come.

[@funshoidowu121]

Ebenezer Obey is a master piece he knew long before recording his first music that he's about to bless humanity with soulful, brilliant,sweet and thoughtful melodies.God bless

[@adeobisesan4303]

The songs you listen to or sing along to matters a lot. His music is full of wisdom and prayers. Love from New York City.

[@waleabiodun5788]

The instrumental interlude that begins at 3:00 is one of the greatest you'll ever hear in the history of world music. Masterful, hypnotic, original. Long live the chief commander!

[@samdaniel4038]

Old school music is the best: full of rhythms and philosophy. God bless Chief Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi.

[@kolaakinyemi6564]

Cooool and full of nostalgia . You have been my fan since i was in the pry school in 1967. Your music has not left me the same, especially this one. Remain blessed for ever amen

[@rasheedsalami2983]

Oh my God! This takes me on a Memory lane. Primary School days in the 70s. Sweet Nostalgic feelings

[@bolarinwaadetula8564]

No rival when it comes to juju music. Obey is a champion.

[@olaitanoke3802]

I’ve lost count of how many times Chief commander Ebenezer Obeys songs have been listened to! I was born into it, growing in it and vow to make my generations to come realize true music with careful thought out lyrics borne out of passion and talent truly exists; not being influenced by immorality and drugs!

[@blessingajisafe6915]

As a kid, I dont like Obey music, cos I loved dancing and KSA was the deal for me. While my love for KSA has never changed till now, my love for Obey has come to increase.

[@u7617]

Every Nigerian grow up on this music.. I'm Hausa and I remember all of Ebenezer OBE, Sonny Ade, Sonny Okosun, Pasuma etc musics.. reigning Nigerian sounds on the 90s 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬👍🔥

[@ibironkeabiodun919]

I love my Dad so much as I love this song ❤❤❤ Mr. Arewa continue to rest in peace my dearest Daddy 🎉🎉

[@bodemaxwell]

If I’m not mistaken this album was made between 1976 and 1978. Those were my childhood years. Obey’s music and its philosophical ethos were a great window through which I saw the world. Together with the Holy Scriptures and parental guidance, it has signposted what has come to define views, values and beliefs.

[@rebeccahabosedeogundiran2554]

For me, Obey is the best juju musician. He is above all the others

[@user-bx2xh8ek8i]

Those were days when Music 🎶 in any genre and language was meaningful

[@Rantwithbee]

The instrumentals are just..amazing😍

[@b.a5511]

Obey's generation excelled in quality and good music, not like this our own generation with 90 % singing meaningless and corrupt music. God bless Ebenezer Obey.

[@perfecthealthcareconsult9084]

This piece sure ranks amongst the finest songs of Baba Obey. It makes memories of growing up flooding back. Just listen to the percussion and guitar work not to talk about philosophical and value-teaching lyrics. God bless you sir!

[@moraxgabriel9925]

This is vintage Ebenezer Obey. Is it the counseling? or the advice..the admonition or is it the reassurance that one with God has everything. I love this man I love his music. Been listening to him for as far back as I can remember

[@user-ow7cs5xe9x]

Always evergreen, Almighty God to give Baba Ebenezer Fabiyi good health

[@roselinemore1892]

I love all of chief Ebenezer Obey’s songs but this is one of my best song. My dad introduced me to his songs very early in life and I’m still hooked. May God continue to grant chief Ebenezer Obey good health and long life. He is a legend. Evergreen songs

As we all savour and relish the old memories of Juju Masterio Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. Some of us were old enough when all these beautiful track were released, and some met it as been played by our parents many who have since passed. The million questions are what becomes of all these beautiful lyrics after our own generation???

Hopefully if we play it enough for our kids , they may also enough and enjoy it too...

Obey has and will always be OBEY. No musician can be like him. His type of juju music is JUST UNIQUE.

[@funshoidowu121]

Music truely is a universal language. This music sounds as iif it was yesterday,l remember vividly when l was growing up listening to the music across the street,,it is philosophical, fundamental, ethical and all godly virtues are embedded in the songs.The instrumentals and the instrumentalist presentations is heartwarming.

[@olajumoke-Olusoji]
