I am a Ghanaian stayed in Nigeria between the years of 80 and 83 as a shoe shine boy (sobatta) anytime I hear chief Ebenezer Obey song I just put down my box and listen with joy, up to now I am in love of it.

i am igbo man i grow up listening to this great legend. my late father don't joke with his song back then in Enugu State

[OgbunigweIhenna-gqiq]

Your music is legendary, and evergreen. Thi is for the generation of the 70's and lives on. You have paid bills. God will always remember you for your service to God and humanity. Remain Blessed.

Literally grew up listening to this on repeat on my father’s record player. My mom bought the LP as soon as it was released. What joy it was to live in Nigeria in those days before greedy politicians impoverished the citizenry. Bless your legacy sir and king Sunny Ade and Baba 70 of course, Fela Ransome-Kuti.

Reading through the comments I came away with the thought that once in this country tribe was secondary to our basic humanity. We were one in music, in national aspirations and goodwill to one another. Can’t we have that nation back? I am Yoruba, but the music that turned my life around permanently and irreversibly was the Voice of Cross by brother Lazarus and Emmanuel, Igbos. My cousin bought the album in Aba while coming from Calabar where his parents were living and presented it to me as Christmas gift. That was 1984. I’m not sure how many albums alter the course of people’s lives the way this album altered mine. Fundamentally we’re same people under God with a mandate to build a nation that will be the pride of Africa and the black race everywhere. We have the education, native intelligence, intellectual drive, energy, resources and manpower to do this. May the Lord restore us again to our first love.

Hello. I am a white man. I am 58. I grew up in England but my parents are from Ireland. I don't believe in God but I try to believe in people. Your tribe, your skin, your language, your passport, your God... it makes no difference to me. One world, one people. But whenever I meet a Nigerian I always tell them how much I love the music of the Chief Commander. Sometimes I tell people who aren't from Nigeria about him too. If I can listen to this man sing and play his guitar every day I can smile.

My amiable late Dad fondly called folks in our village back in the old good days by the name Ebenezer as " Ebenezer Obey". Thus in reverence to the great Obey, we grew up calling anyone bearing the name Ebenezer as Obey in our locality; Ebonyi State

[pastorade]

When music can gather people from diverse horizons, call it greatness.
