'Birthday Boy' Evangelist (Professor) Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi (MFR) with G.O. Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye

There is no event like it in a very long while in the entire Ogun State. It was a grand event. It was a grand moment. It was a grand celebration. It was the moment when the power of music played its eminence over every other powers from politics, business down to diplomacy and all.

'Birthday Boy' Evangelist (Prof.) Ebenezer ObeyFabiyi (MFR) with President Mathew Aremu Okikiolakan Olusegun Obasanjo (GCFR)

It was the moment when politics, religion, business, diplomacy and other disciplines came in total humility to appreciate and bestow credibility on the power and art of music.

Moreover, it was a Monday morning (April 3^rd). Yet, the crowd was massive. The surge of eminent Nigerians into the ancient city of Abeokuta in Ogun State—South West Nigeria was overwhelming. The venue was Chapel of Christ The Glorious King (CCGK)  Interdenominational church situated inside the Obasanjo Presidential Library at NNPC area of Abeokuta.

 It was the day of Ebenezer. In Hebrew language, Ebenezer means “Rock or stone of help”. But in Nigerian social language, Ebenezer simply means OBEY. OBEY simply means Juju. Juju simply means Miliki. Miliki is a rare brand of music.

On this Monday morning in the fourth month of the year 2017, the creator of the Juju Miliki brand of Music, the Commander and Professor Emeritus of music who is equally an Evangelist of our Lord Jesus Christ turned 75. It was a glorious day when the world dropped everything to celebrate Evangelist (Prof) Ebenezer Olasupo Remilekun Obey Fabiyi (MFR) before children, family, friends and well-wishers.
