I DO MY MUSIC COMPOSITION BETTER IN TOILET - SAYS "EBENEZER OBEY, AS HE CELEBRATE HIS 75TH BIRTHDAY

Love for Juju music in the era of highlife

Thanks for this interesting first question . It may be quite surprising that I love Juju music hence I made it my choice in the era of highlife. That is not to infer that I don’t love highlife. I do, but my love for Juju music appeared to have overshadowed that of highlife.

The fact that highlife music then was well known and accepted outside Nigeria, made its popularity to be felt all over Africa, especially within the West African Sub-region, like Ghana. I love Juju for two cogent reasons. One, it was for the fact that it had been there and people loved it too. The second reason was that I was convinced beyond all doubts that I could redefine Juju music through my creativity. I thank God today that I have succeeded in developing and modernizing it appreciably.

Challenges then as Juju musician

It is obvious that everything that one wants to start in life is bound to be plaqued by obstacles or challenges. This came in an adventurous form and unless you are prepared for this adventure you may not succeed. But with my determination, I scaled through by God’s decision to crown my efforts and I thank him sincerely for this.

Composing my music

There are two factors involved here. The first was talent and special ability to compose. God gave me both. But on my own, I put in extra efforts into my compositions. This, I usually do whenever any song crept into my thought. Interestingly, this mostly happened whenever I was in pretty quiet places, especially in the toilet.

When I noticed this, I began to go to the toilet with biro and writing materials in anticipation. Hence the tendency to spent more time there than expected because it was the safest place to spend more time without being disturbed. I thanks God for crowning my efforts which finally led to my success. I am such a person who takes my pray seriously. Perhaps, as a result of this, God crowned my labour.

Composing the ‘Paulina’ hit single

In composition, imagination and creativity are pretty important. That was exactly what happened in the case of my ‘Paulina’ hit single. The setting then was the defunct Marina called seaside. All I did was to see myself walking along the area one breezy night when I bumped into a pretty lady called Paulina. Her ravaging beauty encouraged me to probe who she was. I was excited to have known her name and as somebody who was love-struck I lifted her off her feet, singing about her bewitching beauty.

Meeting Fatai Rolling Dollars;

I want to say here that all my steps especially in music were ordained by God. Meeting late Fatai Rolling Dollars was just one of the steps which God directed. Before we met, I was already a band leader. I formed my band in 1957. However, I played with him for many years.

This was how it happened. One faithful day two elderly musicians were passing by my house. One was playing the guitar while the other was drumming. I loved their music, and as a result of that I followed them quietly for quite a long distance. When they realised I had been following them, they stopped suddenly. They were shocked at my action and asked why. I confessed that their music which swept me off my feet was responsible for my action. It was then they asked if I could assist them to get instruments,

I told them that I knew where they could get it.

They looked at me, bewildered, or more like an angel who came when all hopes were lost. So, I took them there. They rented the instruments including amplifiers for their engagement which had been giving them sleepless nights. One thing led to another until I requested to know Fatai Rolling Dollars. The men gladdened my heart when they told me that Rolling Dollars passes in front of their house most times. They promised to arrange how I could meet him. This, they did successfully. That is how I met Rolling Dollars. It was when we met that God used me to established his band. It was then I played under him and became his second in command. I was with him for three year before I left, I left because it was the dream for everybody to grow and become a master of their own.

Going into praise-singing;

I did not go into praise singing for the fun of it. It had been there for ages when my fore-runners in the juju music genre started music and popularized it.

Why I embraced and started propagating gospel through Juju music;

To become a gospel artiste you must be called. When the Lord called me, it was not easy for me to embrace the call. Hence for 12 years I struggled with God before I finally answered his call. That was how I started my ministry in which I have already spent 25 years. I was called when I was 50 years. I have been propagating the gospel for the past 25years ago, using music to evangelize, bring people from the kingdom of darkness to light.

Life after the death of my wife;

I strongly believe that after living with her for 48 years her sudden death is bound to make me feel bad,

especially for the inevitable vacuum created by her painful exit.

It is not naturally easy for anybody to love and live with somebody for years, only to lose her and not go through excruciating pains which only God can heal.

Why I mark my birthdays;

Since I became a celebrity I celebrate my birthdays. I remembered that I celebrated my birthday when I was 40 years , simply for the fact that it was a landmark in my life. I did again when I was 50 years, 70years and now I am set once more to celebrate my 75th birthday on April 3rd at Abeokuta, Ogun state capital. The main factor is to thank God for all his goodness till now, especially His grace which had kept me alive and healthy too. So, I have all the cogent reasons to praise and thank him every time, using my birthdays and music as a channel and forum.

Pranks as a lad and teenager;

I want you to know that every faces of life comes differently because when you were a child the way you think, act, do things differ from the way you conduct yourself when you are an adult. You are not expected to think act as a child when you are already an adult because you are expected to have been matured and as a result, become a right thinking person. I must have acted as a child when I was. But as an adult it has been a different ball game.

THIS IS WHAT YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT ACTOR,HON.FEMI ADEBAYO

Femi Adebayo is an actor and son of veteran actor, Adebayo Salami aka Oga Bello. The Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Culture, Art and Tourism speaks on his passion for acting, while still going on to pursue a doctorate degree in Law.

What was it like growing up in a house full of actors?

Femi Adebayo: I could not actually identify the difference between growing up in the midst of actors or as an actor or growing up in the midst of ordinary people but I was opportune to grow up in the midst of entertainers. My father has been in the industry for so long and always have people around him who are entertainers which makes it so much interesting to me. I think my growing up was extremely fun. I developed the interest from there because as a kid what you see around you will automatically trigger your fancy which many will like and will want to do it. Growing up in the midst of actors I will say actually triggers and inspires me to have more interest in entertainment.

Which movie gave you your break?

Adebayo: ‘Owoblow’ by Tade Ogidan in 1996. I was very young and won the role on merit. Acting is inborn. On set of ‘Owoblow,’ Tade Ogidan had several encouraging words which turned out true. ‘Owoblow’ gave me the breakthrough which won me several international and national awards even though Law was the career I was pursuing.

Was it after Owoblow that you went back to school or how did you do it?

Chat Conversation End

Adebayo: I just finished secondary school when I did ‘Owoblow’ and was awaiting admission. I was later admitted into Kwara State polytechnic for a diploma in Legal Studies but gained admission into University of Ilorin to study Law and graduated in 2001. I was called to Bar in 2003, got a Masters in Law from the University of Ibadan in 2006 and I have just applied for a doctorate degree in Law at University of Ilorin.

How many movies have you produced, which one is your favourite movie and why?

Adebayo: As a film producer, I have produced no less than 15 movies and my favourite movie is not where I played my favourite character. My favourite film is ‘Adunmadeke’ because it actually focuses on the various consequences of sexual misconducts. I see that youths’ attitude towards sexual relationship is worsening - which was why I wrote the movie. When you ask about my best character in a movie, so many people would expect me to say ‘Jelili’ but sincerely, my favourite role is ‘Sonto Alapata’ (Sonto the Butcher) and not ‘Jelili’ because comedy comes naturally to me. It was the first time most people saw me in comedy role. But as a versatile actor, you should be able to interpret any role at any time.

While on set do you sometimes experience a conflict between yourself and the character you are playing?

Adebayo: Yes, a lot. Many times, we experience conflict between our real selves, and the characters we play because such characters are not the real deal. An example is ‘Sonto the Butcher’ that I liked so much because it is totally different from Femi Adebayo. But the ability for you to resolve that conflict amicably is what makes you a good actor.

Do you think you would have done as well as you are doing in Yoruba film industry if you were in Nollywood?

Adebayo: As far as I am concerned, the Yoruba film industry and Nollywood are the same. Nollywood is derived from Nigerian actors. Be it Yoruba, Hausa, English or Igbo actors are all Nollywood. The general belief is that English movie actors are Nollywood but I want to use this opportunity to say that they are not only the Nollywood actors we have. Nollywood comprises of all movie actors in Nigeria regardless their language. Basically, I love my culture so much and am a promoter of culture. If I’m imbibing other people’s culture, and not promoting mine, I’m killing it. This is why I engage more in Yoruba movies than the English ones. If today I choose to stop acting Yoruba movies it does not reduce my performance in the English movies. I have acted a number of English movies and if you take your time now to see what is happening, so many of our Yoruba movies producers are now producing English movies just to tell the world that we can do the two. It does not affect our performances but because I love to promote my culture that is why I don’t delve into English movie. I am of the view that we should not allow other people’s culture to kill ours because our culture is our value

Now that you are in government, is this the end of acting for you and have you been on a movie set since you took up the appointment?

Adebayo: Taking up this appointment is a call to serve my state. When I’m done, nothing stops me from going back to my field as an actor. I have not dropped acting. But for now, occupying this seat I give 85/90% of my time and attention to execute my duty.

Away from what kind of person are you?

Adebayo: I am an extremely reserved person. I am not the outgoing type and anytime I have to face the public, I put on my actor face to be able to handle it. It is easy for me to say I’m not a shy person because I can start acting anytime without rehearsal. I love my private life which I lost being a public figure. But I am the indoors type. I don’t enjoy partying.

You have an institute where you train people in moviemaking techniques. Could you tell us about it?

Adebayo: J15 School of Performing Art is the name of my institute, and has been in existence for eight years now. We started from Ibadan and we have graduated five different sets of about 250 students. Many of them are into behind the scene works like costumier, script writers, property managers, set designers, directors etc. A few of them chose to go into acting and they are doing well as behind the scene workers. Becoming a movie star is from the Almighty. I can say that no less than 10 of them are doing extremely well behind the camera and as actors and have won several awards to their credit acting both Yoruba and English movies. Our students before they get admitted must have at least school certificate with a credit in English and Literature. Aisha Lawal, Lola Awe, Bamitale, Jide Ajanaku are all known faces who graduated from my institute.

Which has been your most difficult movie, role?

Adebayo: It hasn’t come. I am actually waiting because I love challenges. Many people saw ‘Jelili’ to be the most tasking but honestly, it was not. However, I can say the most tasking for now is ‘Owoblow,’ maybe because it was my first major lead character.

Would you allow your children to become actors?

Adebayo: I will follow my father’s attitude and way of life. He never forced any of us to go into acting but he ensured that we are all lettered and educated. Whatever your ambition is, he is always supporting and giving us encouragement. He knew I had an interest in acting and Law and he encouraged me. I am going to follow his path for my children’s career and will make sure they are properly educated. I still look up to and follow my father’s footsteps. He is my role model.

How do you relax?

Adebayo: I’m a boring person when I’m not working. I prefer to sit down at home, gist with my family and watch television.
