Obasempire reports that the relatives of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, have requested that groups and individuals intending to mark the first anniversary of his death postpone their plans.

This appeal was made in a statement signed by Monisola Odumosu, a member of the family’s legal team.

“It has come to the attention of the Aloba family that some organisations have been planning to celebrate the first anniversary of the death of our late son and singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad). The Aloba family wishes to appeal to such interest groups to suspend such ideas.

“The late singer is yet to be buried. As such, the family would wish the public to join them in prayers at his anniversary rather than organise any elaborate event that will affect their emotions.”

The family also expressed concern that some individuals and organisations might be planning to use Mohbad’s memory for commercial purposes.

This is as they appealed to them to seek approval from the family before proceeding with such a plan.

“It is no longer news that some individuals and organisations have been planning to carry out events to commemorate the late singer’s death.

“We will appeal to such persons and organisations to seek proper approval from the family before going on with such plans. The Aloba family would not wish the goodwill of their illustrious son to be employed for commercial purposes,” the statement added.

The family has urged individuals and organisations to respect their wishes and join them in prayers during this difficult time.

Mohbad, a former record label signee of Marlian Music owned by Naira Marley, died on September 12 at the age of 27, with the circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversy on social media.

Obasempire reports that tragedy befell on Tuesday night when Nigeria’s legendary singer and songwriter, Onyeka Onwenu, fainted and passed away shortly after her performance at a birthday celebration in Lagos.

In a surprising development, the celebrated artist, fondly referred to as the ‘Elegant Stallion,’ reportedly died at Reddington Hospital in Lagos after collapsing at a private event.

Sources close to the family revealed that Onwenu was at a friend’s birthday party and had just performed on stage. After finishing her set, she returned to her seat and abruptly collapsed.

Emergency responders were promptly called, and she was transported to the hospital in Victoria Island, where she was later declared deceased. The exact cause of death remains unconfirmed.

The source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said: “It is very sad. Onyeka Onwenu just performed at the birthday of Mrs. Stella Okoli of Emzor Pharmaceuticals this night and after performing, she slumped. She was taken to Reddington Hospital but couldn’t make it.”

Onwenu, born on May 31, 1952, was a multifaceted artist whose career spanned over four decades. She was not only a renowned singer and songwriter but also an actress, journalist, and politician.

Onwenu’s music, which blended genres including highlife, reggae, and pop, often addressed social and political issues. Some of her most popular songs include “One Love,” “Iyogogo,” and “Ekwe.”

Beyond her musical career, Onwenu was known for her political activism and involvement. She served as the chairperson of the Imo State Council for Arts and Culture. She was appointed Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the National Centre for Women Development.

In March this year, Onwenu had revealed that she was putting together a film that will focus on her experiences spanning several decades in the music industry. She had expressed her excitement to share her personal story of how Nigerian music has changed over time.

She had also talked about plans to collaborate with up-and-coming musicians to release her iconic songs in a compilation of rebranded songs expected to be released later this year.

It is not known yet if the feature documentary or remix of her iconic songs had been concluded before her death.

Obasempire reports that Brain Jotter, the Nigerian comedian, has proposed to present Mike ‘Gentleman’ Ejeagha, the renowned highlife musician, with N2 million.

Tunde Ednut, the famous blogger, posted a screenshot of his conversation with Jotter on Instagram on Sunday, where the content creator revealed his offer.

In the conversation, the comedian inquired about a method to contact the highlife icon, expressing his desire to give him the funds.

“Master we wan give the man N2m, na to reach am be wahala,” the chat reads.
‘Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche’, a song by Ejeagha, started to gain widespread popularity earlier this month after Jotter adopted the soundtrack for his hilarious dance moves.

The dance moves involve two or more people facing opposite directions and walking towards each other. They then meet at a point where they do the funny leg dance before one starts chasing after the other while a part of the chorus “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo” is played in the background.

Jotter’s first clip of the project, which was shared on Instagram on July 5, has fetched nearly one million likes — as of July 21. Similar footage posted on TikTok has been viewed over 16 million times.

The song has also been recreated nearly 20,000 times on TikTok with many Nigerians, including celebrities, joining the challenge.

Ejeagha is considered one of the pioneers of the highlife genre in Nigeria and was influential in the evolution of music in the Igbo language for over 6 decades.
