When the conversation turns to Nigeria’s most revered and prolific musical icons, whose timeless melodies continue to bridge generations, the name Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi resonates with undeniable prominence. At 83, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, MFR, stands as a testament to the enduring power of music, a maestro whose compositions have woven themselves into the very fabric of Nigerian society.

Born at Massey Street Hospital in Lagos, this Ogun State native’s musical journey began in his formative years at Idogo Primary School, where he formed the Royal Mambo Orchestra. This early passion blossomed under the tutelage of the legendary Fatai Rolling Dollars in Lagos, and the art of profound composition was further honed through the influence of the late highlife maestro, Adeolu Akisanya.

Chief Obey’s music, which he christened “Miliki,” transcends mere entertainment. It serves as a poignant chronicle of the Nigerian experience, reflecting the societal realities of the 1960s and beyond. His lyrics addressed critical issues such as famine, inflation, domestic strife, poverty, insecurity, and corrupt social practices, acting as a mirror to the nation’s soul. These insightful narratives, delivered with his signature smooth vocals and captivating rhythms, not only delighted audiences but also garnered prestigious accolades, both domestically and internationally, elevating Nigeria’s musical stature on the global stage.

The enduring relevance of his music, now considered “evergreen,” underscores its profound impact on Nigeria’s socio-cultural, educational, and religious landscapes. Chief Obey is more than a musician; he is a multifaceted figure, hailed as a teacher, a prophet, a moral compass, a philanthropist, and a philosopher. His contributions extend far beyond the realm of entertainment, touching the lives of countless individuals.

With a staggering repertoire of over 660 songs, Chief Obey’s legacy is undeniable. He has truly paid his dues, leaving an indelible mark on the Nigerian music industry and beyond. His philosophical works, imbued with wisdom and introspection, continue to resonate with listeners, offering timeless insights into the human condition.

Some of his most cherished and thought-provoking compositions include:

* Olowo L’aye Mo (Money Commands Respect in the World): A reflection on the societal influence of wealth.

* Eni Ri Kan He (Whoever Finds Something Should Hold Onto It): A proverb advocating for perseverance and gratitude.
