There is a spiritual knowledge at a point in this video. 17min to 17:30sec Baba Simon said he has been drawing himself with baba obey on black board before meeting baba obey. My people God is all in all; HE is in the life of everyone from birth; HE is speaking in us everyday if only we are ready to listen to HIM. My mother told me of one of my aunty that stayed in our house then at the age of six who always tell her she would be rich someday. Today she is very rich and wealthy. I love the wisdom of baba Simon, God will continue to bless you sir. It is very important for me to tell parents through this medium not to force their personal wish and desire on their children; they should allow and support their kids ambitions in as much it is Godly and legal; for no one knows tomorrow!

To my witness, the Juju Artists that were popular back in the early 60s were, IK Dario, Adeolu Akinsanya, Prince Adekunle, Dele Ojo and more. Before them were Roy Chicago, Victor Olaiya, Fatai Rolling Dollars, Tunde Nightingale, Bobby Benson and more in the 50s. Then came in the late 60s were Ebenezer Obey, Sunny Ade, Idowu Animashaun and more. In the early 70s were Dele Abiodun, Pick Peters and others. The collaboration of Shina Peters and Segun Adewale (Shina Adewale) emerged in the mid 70s. This man is an ocean of the history of Juju music industry. He needs to write a book for the benefits of the current and future generations. This is another great work from EJIRE. God bless you guys.

Detailed historical account 👍 However, some of the listed musicians may not be classified as "Juju" musicians per se. Some of these maestros were more into "highlife" or a totally unique genre of their own. But they were all definitely masters in their respective fields!
