- In 2018, I interviewed Mr Segun Awe on the premises of LTV/Eko Fm. It was on a Sunday in November. I salute Segun Awe’s courage and knowledge. He really knows a lot about his genre of music, Juju.
In that interview, which has since been posted on this channel, he came all out, without hiding under a finger, and without sounding toady, though some fans had assumed it was pride on his part.
However, shortly after, I had a great opportunity of meeting Commander Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi and he told me he’ll like to tell his side of Mr Segun Awe’s story.
That’s it. I had wanted that interview so badly but the Segun Awe interview did it for me through Mr Adebayo Segun who is very close to Commander.
We set out and got it done. It was aired but it wasn’t settled. I took extra effort to speak with Alagba Segun Awe privately to please allow me to settle the matter once and for all. He gladly agreed.
I spoke also with Baba Commander, and he said he prefers the way of peace. We set out on the agreed date for Abeokuta at Commander’s country home. Alagba Segun Awe set out in company of my late friend, Dare Best.
The meeting held and it was settled after we had let out the reason I facilitated the meeting. We took photos and we all left. Though I won’t forget that Baba said specifically that he had told Segun Awe that Segun would come back to him for blessing and prayers. The peace parley was reported and published in the Saturday Tribune.
I decided to release Commander’s precise words at that meeting on TH-cam for a reason.
The reason is that I, Dele Adeyanju wish and urge King Sunny Ade to tow this line.
Let King Sunny Ade invite all his old pals living and make reconciliation with them. He remains their leader and father. He should live by that example he sang about bi ija ba de, se lo ye ka pari e. Even if it’s a rift of 50years, they should think of the time they had it good.
His aggrieved old pals should however also realize that they cannot always accuse and accuse KSA. Bygones should be bygones for old times sake. KSA should facilitate the meeting and for those old members he thinks need any form of support, he should do whatever he can no matter how little.
The lord has blessed our KSA so much, and as he approaches his Oak jubilee in a few years, I pray for renewed strength for him.
And that is my wish, Peace, for all old members of the African Beats.
Baba,Chief Commander ( Evangelist) Ebenezer Obey, l wish to use this medium- to send my condolences on the bereavement of your son. We meet to part, and part to meet again on the resurrection day, and to part no more. May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace. Baba, thy Lord Jesus will continue to care , support,pray and uphold till eternity, in Jesus name,Amen. And, l soak the entire family in the Precious Blood of Jesus. And, it's well !
That is Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey omo Fabiyi in reconciliation meeting with Segun Awe.Long live sir!
Please,continue to keep it up.
Longlive Commander Ebenezer Fabiyi. Pls, forgive him and pray for him so that he may be succesful in his musical career. Thanks sir.
Baba Obey, do something, majority of the guys who have been working in your organization for more than four decates, are living in poverty lines while you are living 100% better way. That is a shamed
Well done Dele Adeyanju,I thank God for the Successful Settlement from you. Chief Commander Ebenezer Fabiyi Obey, You're highly Appreciated.Sir. for the forgiveness and the Blessing from to your Beloved former Band Boy,Segun Awe. You really loves Segun Awe indeed. Won ni ti aba fi owo otun ba omo wi,katun wa fi owo osi famora. May you leave long with good health and more Wealth. Sir. Imoran mi fun awon agborandun ni wipe. Ki won ma tun fenu won so oro odi si eniti Oga re ti dariji,ti won siti sure fun Omo won na. Segun Awe. Eyin agborandun, Eseun epada,ija detitan o🤣. Obey loso be.
God bless us all.
Ebenezer obey, a legend
I don't when this piece came up..But let me just add something to what some people have commented....YORUBA WILL" MO MU LORI, MO SOPE OTI KU..IWO TO MU NI ORUN, ONI KI TII KU" .Meaning...; I HOLDING I IT'S HEAD ,I KNOW IT'S DEAD BUT YOU THAT'S HOLDING THE TAIL SAID , IT'S NOT"...IF THOSE BAND MEMBERS CAN SLEEP AND PONDER OVER THEIR ISSUES WITH THEIR BOSS, KSA.,.THE BETTER FOR THEM....
The truth is a bitter pill to swallow if Yoruba can decipher between truth and culture maybe Yoruba Nation will be a reality
This is merely a replay of an old reconciliation video between Segun Awe and Commander Obey i.e. from 3 years ago. Good though that Segun Awe sought forgiveness and made peace with Commander Obey as Obey did him no wrong.
The original video belongs to me and I own the copyright to the audio too because I facilitated the meeting and recorded same. I however don’t understand what you mean by ‘plagiarization’ or ‘mere replay’ because this is the time I chose to upload it fully on TH-cam. Just for your Information sir or ma.
What baba obey said is so deep for somebody that could think deeply. When I heard his interview with “nigbati”, I never believed what he said 20%. I even commented that I did not believe him.
You don't have to believe me. Is it your story or your life?
Nice peace reconciliation....
"Alabukun fun ni awon onilaja nitori omo Olorun ni a o maa pe won". E ku atunse o, feyikogbon ni ipade yii je. Ko ye ki awon omode maa huwa agidi nitori pee o maa n ba nkan je ni.
As great as Segun Awe would have being in his life, Lack of adequate education, stubbornness, and wrong association might have contributed to his life troubles; but he is very good at what he does if it is true that he played those rhythms in Obeys albums.
It was that "good at what he does" that got into his head and made it swollen. Exuberance and stupidity can sometimes rob one of his future and there we have it in his case. He would be thinking then that he was indispensable to commander obey, forgetting that there are thousands of his types hanging out there. It came to pass and he was the worse for it.
@@tayodouglas262 Iru Olorun ni ko si, iru eniyan po bee re be. Lesson for us all. Thanks bro
Pride goes before the fall. Segun is a strong headed person and a rebel. No wonder he was not able to go far in his musical career despite his creativity. Unless he repented of his attitude and rebellious characters he may not be able to make it in life.
Every rift has been the past. My Brother,don't contribute to what can bring another issue anymore. Commander has said it all infront of his Beloved Segun. Won ki aje ekuru oran kotan ninu awo, is like,etunfe gbon owo re sinu awo. Obey has forgiving Talented Musician Segun Awe. He has Blessed him as well. Chikana.
Ola Olaleye: you spoke as if you were part of the band or a right man of the commander himself.
CCEO has graciously forgiven Segun Awe, and that's the grace for him(Segun) to move forward in his music career or whatever he chooses to do henceforth.
Segun acted childishly, and that's his character. No one could change that.
He's an Ekiti man, and Ekiti people are stubborn and strong-headed though he acted childishly.
@@sundayotetubi9077 I wonder o. Awon Agbonrandun po Laiye. Ani ka jekuru oran kotan. Won tun fe gbon owo re sinu awo.
@@sundayotetubi9077points of correction, my Brother not Ekiti people alone get stubborn and strong headed. It's common in all tribes. I agreed about Childishly. Omode kimo eko( ori)je,koma raa lenu. We Ekiti People need your Apology. please.
@@babatundedurojaiye4881: No apology is required as I'm also from Ekiti.
Stubbornness is a glory killer. See how stubbornness set him back. Oju apa o le dabi awo. Stubbornness is the messenger for the spirit of time waster. I pray that Baba Commander's prayers will work for you
If your enemy of progress could not suppress or stop your destiny, then you are stubborn. It's my stubbornness that still kept me alive. Those that were not stubborn are all gone to the world beyond. Thank God for my stubbornness 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣.
The truth is, Segun has missed his opportunity musically. At his age, what opportunity is left out there for him?
Are you my creator? Wait and see🙄.
What success for you might be differ to my. Great mistakes made by many Africans, success are counted in material things but absolutely no. Telling your stories as they are true to you might just be it for Segun Awe. Mind you there are no differences in the story narrative if you care to listen to both sides but experience and time differs for Baba Obey and Segun Awe. Bi omode ba nse bi omode agbalagba ase bi agba(mo Juba o)
Nonsense statement and lacks fear of God Almighty.
Whilst reconciliation is good, I think it unfair to use Segun Awe's reapproach to Baba Commander as the yardstick for saying KSA should reconcile with his bandsmen as if he woke up one morning and kicked them out. If what is in the public domain is true,they mutinied against his leadership whilst abroad! They preferred assertion of the rights to money ( which was in fact due to them) to his leadership. In their erroneous thinking, they were the salt to the Synchro Soup Kitchen and without them mo food. They left KSA. He had to rebuild from the ground up again! And you now ask him to reconcile? For what? Let them swallow their pride and ask for his own forgiveness for they were the ones who erred!
Worse, in all these years, they could not reach out to him ' with style' on the occasions he celebrated his 60th, 70th birthdays or married off several of his children? Ija ilara!
Iru Olorun ni ko so, iru eniyam wa jaburata!
We see this travesty in the professions and businesses everyday and it is sad
Sir, you focus on one set of the African Beats. I think it's also unfair to use the basis of those who left in 84 to treat those who left even years after. Some left in the 70s, some left in the 80s, some left in 2000s. It's a normal thing. Kuro ni ise mi ko kii se kuro laye. If KSA were to be my biological father, this is exactly what I would tell him. Dad, for old time sake, allow peace with your friends with whom you once had played music, so that no one would hold grudges against you. It takes nothing away from KSA. It only shows that he is indeed a father and leader. So please sir, I'm talking of African Beats alumni generally, not the 84 set alone.
May God bless you! KSA is still at the very Top after many years of them not being with him! Ibaje eniyan ko da ise Oluwa duro
@@deleadeyanju you assume their is 'war'. I see instead that everyone is at peace with decisions made with clarity as to their consequences. Nobody has accused KSA of being uncivil to them. If they choose to keep distance, no problem. They too can approach KSA to make up. More than anyone else, KSA's ex bandsmen know the people who can bring them together again but truth and pride prevents them from doing the needful whilst we are here asking KSA to cajole the unwilling.
KSA didn't offend any of his run away members. Like wise BABA obey
You nailed it my brother. spot on!
Baba Obey, sorry to say this, some of your golden veterans band boys are not happy with you, many of them believes they are not getting paid that they deserved. In one perfect example, there was one occasion the band made #500k at one night, and this individual got only #126.00. Obey why? How do you want this guy to survive with this token changes?
That can't happen, because there's a sharing formula, by which they shared whatever they make at party.
When he was doing the interview..I know that Alaimore ni...Obey is not surppose to allow him to come back for Adura...he is not a good man...
What makes me to be an ingrate if I may ask? I helped him in making 25 albums in 5 years, and you said, am an ingrate? I bought my car with my hard earned money. I did not gain anything from him. My only gain from was "Olusegun omo Awe, guitar dowo re".
Stop responding and have your peace if truly all has been sorted and you serve the living God. Maturity brother🙏🙏🙏
Eyin agborandun, eran aso yin nibi togbe ya. Igbako oni gbako lanri. Eni eleni lonri teni. Eyin na,eya ara yin wo. Obey ti dariji Segun tan o. Eseun epada,ija deti tan o🤣
@@babatundedurojaiye4881 Your problem back home is that you never call a spade a spade...Awon seku seye... that is why we are still behind... noncence
@@juniorbrowne3768 you're on your own o🤣
I believe he would have seen the stupidity of his actions while serving Baba Commmander. He lost all opportunities because of his agidi (stronghead) Ekiti. The
I did not lose anything rather, I moved forward to pursue my destiny by furthering my musical career. I went to school of Music in USA. If I was still with him then, I wouldn't have got the opportunity of playing saxophone and learn the theory of music.
