According to her: “It’s a year already but it seems like yesterday. People think It is short but is the longest year of my life, we all miss you jigga.
I can only pray for your gentle and very beautiful soul to keep resting in peace if there is any reward you deserve is to be by the right side of our Lord Jesus. Am sure when you look down on this empty world you’ll smile knowing that you did your best and gave everything till the end. Babatunde mi sun re ooo”
Korede in conjunction with some of her late husband’s friends and colleagues are planning a seminar tagged:OJB Legacy Seminar to be held on June 15th 2017 at Freedom Park Lagos.
Fondly called Jigga by his close associates, OJB wasn’t just satisfied with being a prolific producer. At a time when Nigerian contemporary music was in its infancy, OJB released an album. And what an album it was. Released in 2006 to critical and commercial success, No Drama, had hit songs before we knew what hit songs were.
With songs like ‘Pretete’, ‘Oochilacoochaleso’, ‘Searching’, the album held its own in the music space, despite not being backed by the star power of a popular name.
