» GOSPEL MUSIC LEGEND AWARD

Nigerian musician Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Obey-Fabiyi MFR, well known by his stage Ebenezer Obey, is currently a gospel performer.
Upon his relocation to Lagos in the mid-1950s, Ebenezer Obey started his professional career. After receiving tutelage from Fatai Rolling Dollar's , he founded The International Brothers in 1964, a highlife-jùju fusion band. The group then changed its name to Inter-Reformers in the early 1970s, releasing a number of successful albums on the West African Decca record label.
By including more drum kits, guitars, and talking drums into the band, Obey started experimenting with Yoruba percussion and growing the ensemble. Obey is most known for incorporating complex Yoruba principles into his dance-floor tunes.
Obey later obeyed the call from God, got born again and has since retired into a ministry in Nigerian gospel music, although he is also well known for the Christian spiritual themes in his work. It will also be noteworthy to mention that Chief Commander, as he is affectionately known by his admirers, performed on stage with gospel music legend Pastor Kunle Ajayi during his 30th anniversary event in Lagos.
He has recorded more than a hundred albums to date since breaking into the music business.
In order to provide scholarships to deserving indigenous students and music majors at various Tertiary institutions, he established the Ebenezer Obey Music Foundation Scholarship Program (EOMFSS). He serves as Decross International Ministries' general overseer.
