Lágbájá, Ego and the Sunny Neji connection
-The Kayode Badmus
Unknown to many, Lágbájá never planned to do music, well not as a singer himself…let me explain.
The man Bisade Ologunde was a creative who ran an ad agency. He was more interested in productions especially radio jingles and the likes. When he initially ventured into music, it was as a producer and he was responsible for the production of Fuji Sandoka’s famous ‘Yoboro Yobonsin’ album which had a blend of hip hop with Fuji.
When Lágbájá started his band, he wasn’t going to lead. He planned to just play instruments while he had another voice be lead vocalist. In his first band, ‘Call Us Band,’ Lagbaja rarely sang, he had vocalists like Sunny Neji (the veteran singer who gave us Oruka)… infact, Sunny Neji was supposed to be Lagbaja but life had other plans.
When Lágbájá wanted to start recording music, he still wasn’t interested in being the frontman, he just wanted a band he could lead but with another voice. But he soon decided against this yet he wasn’t going to show his face, close confidants believe it is because he wanted to maintain the anonymous brand of the act while he loves his actual life…this worked out eventually as till date nobody knows who Lágbájá man is. Another school believe the mask was designed so anybody he decides can play the character, well no one ever did except uncle Bisade.
Unknown to many, it was actually Sunny Neji who actually introduced Ego to Lágbájá’s band and what we got is unforgettable music, a combination never seen before and which remains yet unmatched.
Here is another day to beg whoever can reach out to Lágbájá, the legendary musician to please make his hits available on digital platforms.
If it’s not too much, I will also quickly appeal for a comeback concert, maybe a reunion with Ego and Sunny Neji…this will be beautiful for National Theatre, Igammu.

No monopoly if not protected by law. Nobody say you cannot set up a refinery. Anybody who can look $22bn, go through what Aliko went through, build one, You are welcome. Do not seat down invest in Switzerland, France, England and complain about Monopoly. Sell the assets and invest in Nigeria.

@jagunjagun0001@OparahMalachy@NoNonsensezone They should have considered that before allowing casting of roles. Very abnormal to change your lead role for an Ibo manat the later stage. Not like the pete was doing it well more the 1st lead role. No ther name to call it than tribalism..
@jagunjagun0001@OparahMalachy@NoNonsensezone But the man also said during the trials for the role, the benin man had higher performance and scores than the Ibo man they are doing nepotism for.
@HauwaAllahbura Be like say obi no get the woman contact. Did you see where she was about bringing out her phone for Obi but the cut that place off. More like Obi is begging for her contact
As much as we all agree censorship of free media should be limited, I believe NBC should have a policy for all intending broadcasters/OAPs to attend diploma courses to understand basic principles.
An interviewer is not expected to show bias or have an opinion but not these guys.
@akintollgate Lately you will see riders start a trip and without your knowledge they will end the trip. That way no commission for the cab app. We are too dubious and greedy.
The Curious Case of Ikemefuna Okeke, Atiku’s Alleged $1.2 Million American Lobbyist
Ikemefuna Okeke’s alleged lobbying activities are raising fresh questions, particularly over claims that he has previously worked for controversial interests abroad.
Journalist Nathaniel Adoji examines allegations surrounding Okeke’s reported dealings with the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, including claims that he was paid millions to facilitate access to influential figures in the US government and promote narratives around the country’s vast mineral resources.
The article also takes a closer look at the circumstances surrounding those engagements and questions whether Okeke delivered on the assignments he was reportedly hired to undertake.
As the political landscape heats up ahead of 2027, the growing conversation around international lobbying, political influence and the interests behind such campaigns deserves closer scrutiny.
