THANK YOU!
Mr Asabe, please can you kindly reduce your interruption and interjections? Also, please let the singer sing. You always bring great people, but you interrupt a lot, and you bring your own emotions into the interview and try to put words into your guests mouth or try to help them complete their thoughts, which in most cases is not what your guest want to say. I'm not trying to teach you your profession, but please consider my observation on these habits as a friendly piece of advice.
He needs to watch other interviewers to see how they are thier guests to flow
Thank you for that ,ASABE interrupt too much.TOO MUCH OF HIGH SERVICE.
Oga Asabe be patient let the Prof do the singing. E n be
I really understand the sentimental value he has for obey and his songs. If it were to be me, i would have sung more sef....so I feel you.
But beyond that, it is Baba's voice people want to hear, with all due respect, not yours, not mine😂
Asabe i'm sorry but you really need to change your interviewing approach.There is no need for all these "o ga o" Jesus! And so on and so forth.
Yeah, the adlibs can be very annoying. Feels like he's doing too much.
Baba Commander, may you live long sir.
Asaba, I love your work BUT you interject/interrupt your guests too much. Haa, Baba Ebenezer Obey ws singing kilolefa lalakokofefe and you were singing it ahead of him, even making mistakes and confusing the old man on his own music. You get to reduce that or allow active listening as necessary
Throughout is comment and appreciating he didn't mention is friend King Sunny Ade.
Junior brother.
Much love sir
I like the response of baba obey to what that brianelss guitarist said. He was soo illiterate not to understand baba obey wanted to motivate his extra contributions. Baba obey is soo nice. Kudos baba obey. This band members have soo much sense of entitlements as if they are the boss
Let me quickly add this that instrumentalists are normally like Oliver Twist asking for more. Asabe, please listen to the person you interviewed more than interjecting too much and spoiled songs.
Asabe why are you shaking your head
You are a great father and great man of God,
Thank you so much for forgiving him,
Is it a sin to give rewards or motivate others? Ko seni to le te omo araye Lorin.
Long life sir.
Baba may Allah continue to shine in your life.
Wonderful interview
Asabe. Ara o bale olori arun.
😂😂😂
Congratulations to BABA Obey❤❤❤
Obey himself is not sincere to all his old band boys, majority of them died in poverty while Obey living in large
What makes people rich is how they spend their own money. Obey’s duty is not to make everyone rich. No matter what you pay some people, they will remain people because they are not prudent. Blaming a leader is unfair
The lifestyles of some people, will make them to be poor, and remain in poverty. They're so reckless with life, engaging in hard drug uses, and philandering.
Aye yin konii baje brother mi, birds of the same feather ni gbogbo won, awon agba osin e ba bami bi baba yi awon to soriire leyin re? Gbogbo won lomaa kere ise ibi tiwon se, oye ko side wasiu, igbati ofe se ojo ibi owo nlanla ni wasiu gbe fun, igbati wasiu nje olori omooba ni ijebu dollar lotun fun baba jatijati yi,
One of his band boys said he has 8kids in the University of Lagos all at the same time, how is that person supposed to live comfortably?? Is it Obey who should teach the boys on responsible lifestyle?
You just talk. In the 70s most of the band boys were in money going to beer parlour chasing women to folk buying expensive things. These band lenders makes connections and network and they introduce them into businesses. These band members are better than average worker. One need to save or invest and not claiming entitlements that is not in existence. Olofo to bi nu ologo
BABA OBEY KE PE FUNWA SIR, AMINNNNNNN
I don't expect obey to talk in this manner. He is beating about Bush
God bless you sir 🙏 gbogbo won lomaa kere ise ibi tiwon se lagbara olorun, igbati ofe se ojo ibi 5000000 ni owo ti wasiu ayinde fun baba yi, awon eni ibi
Obey and all of band leaders in Nigeria are so selfish and greed
Now that he is a pastor now did not take away his behaviour in the past. He has repented, God has forgiven. If he has estates as we speak, and he thinks he owed the band boys, he should be looking after them
God go bless you my brother, 5,000000 lowo ti wasiu gbe fun nigbati onse ojo ibi, awon agba osin
Oga asabe e nba orin baba je.
Baba Obey is a man of god and so is pastor taiwo, so now who is lying between the two of them?
Baba obey's testament has not exonerated him from other band leaders who has not been fair with their band boys.
I respectfully disagree with you Sir,Nigeria as a country is a terrible and very difficult place to live,why are people still living there till now,so simple,it is just because they are hopeful that one day things will b e better.There is one song that you sang some years back,Nigeria yi si ma dun o dami loju,lola Oluwa aadun aadun aadun,has Nigeria been better,of course not.I do understand your stand point,as an elderly person you will not want to say anything that will make you sound as if you are going against Wasiu Ishola especialy in a country like Nigeria where people hates the truth and very quickly turn somebody that is popular to a thing god and untouchable,but honestly Sir you are not helping him,that is just my sincere opinion.It is called being hopeful Sir,you once sang a song like that,Aforiti lolohun gbogbo,aforiti lolohun gbogbo,tepa mose ore mi,Oluwa lolakojo,tepamose oremi,Oluwa lolakojo,aforiti lolohun gbogbo.I just hope that you have not forgotten so soon that you sang this song.I am in my sixties and I grew up with your song,all my life I have never had any cause to object to what you say,but on this issue of Wasiu Ishola,it is so very disappointing,people have eyes and they can really see.Finally,somebody said something that I really hold on to strongly,he said that these band leaders don't do right by the band members,also on the part of the band members they can never be satisfied.It is so simple.it is a law of give and take.Chief commander Ebenezer Obey Sir,like you said,someone goes to work today and he is not paid like the music band leaders in Nigeria does to their band members and such person because of that decides not to go to work the following day,where is the Aforiti that you sang about,you are an elderly person and also an evangelist,things you say matters a lot Sir.
The only area where I think I have questions for the Chief Commander and which i will like him to address is the one concerning his former master Fatai Rolling Doller why did the Chief Commander refused to assist him financially when he was suffering in silence in Lagos? Though God later bless Fatai Rolling Doller to the surprised of everyone and even Obey himself i believe.
Baba no dey joke with his money o !
Asabe,commander corroborate what the guy said. Tao said chief gave the money to him because of his hardworking and never used the word bribe. It was Baba the misappropriated the word Hardworking for a bribe. Tao had done nothing wrong he just wanted chief to extend the incentives to other members of the band.
media guru Asabe.... be calming down... easy on your interjection and emotional streaming..
Obey not be sincere at all,all what he said really disgusted
God bless you sir 🙏
The band leaders are insincere, selfish and greedy, most of their band members lives in bad states.
*Very deceptive set of people*
He doesn't pay them per play or daily basis he pays weekly and he cheated them a lot, if they play 4 or 5 times in a week no one takes up to #50,000 for that week
You're talking from experience as one of the band members right 🤷♂️
So disappointed! Haba
Can’t stand this interviewer! Very unprofessional.
Asabe is too dramatic. All the "hums and ha- Oga o" too childish and a turn-off.
