EBENEZER OBEY CLOCKS 70 AND SUNNY ADE MARKS 50 ON STAGE

The history of Afro Juju music in Nigeria is incomplete without the names of Evangelist Ebenezer Obey and King Sunny Ade. As part of activites lined up to celebrate Obey`s seventieth birthday and Sunny`s fiftieth year on stage, the duo have signed a contract to play at the Harbour hall in Victoria Island Lagos Nigeria on May 27, 2012. The time is 2.00pm. Their mentors will also be there to grace the occasion. Ebenezer Obey was mentored by Fatai Rolling Dollars of `WAN KERE SI NUMBER WA`s` fame and Sunny Ade was mentored by Moses Olaiya a.k.a. BabaSala a popular comedian who started off as a musician before going into the theatre fully. Picture above shows Sunny Ade in blue and Ebenezer Obey in white at WTS office in Ikeja Lagos Nigeria on March 13, 2012
