Juju music legend Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi celebrated his 81st birthday on Monday with orphans.
Fondly called Chief Commander, the octogenarian visited Hope Orphanage Home, Ilorin, Kwara State; Stella Obasanjo Orphanage Home, Abeokuta, Ogun State; and Lepers’ Colony, Abeokuta, Ogun State to make the children happy.
He said in a recent interview that he wants a quiet birthday this time around.
“This year’s birthday is a very quiet one unlike my past birthdays, which were celebrated in a very loud way,” he said.
“This year, I just want to visit orphanages. I will choose three orphanages that I can visit and make them happy. They include Hope Orphanage Home, Ilorin, Kwara State; Stella Obasanjo Orphanage Home, Abeokuta, Ogun State; and Lepers’ Colony, Abeokuta, Ogun State. I will go there myself, sing for them and be a blessing to them.”
Ebenezer noted that he no longer has aspirations as he is a fulfilled man.
He said, “There are no more rivers to cross. God has been good to me and because of that, I know that he will be good to me till the time he wants me to leave this world. For me, it is to move closer to God and for me to beg God that I do not do anything that will tarnish my reputation.”
The iconic musician revealed that he is “marching forward” following the death of his son last year.
