Obesere at 60: Counting His Blessings and Inspiring a New Generation

Fuji legend Abass Akande, aka Obesere, has seen it all—rising from humble beginnings to becoming one of Nigeria’s most celebrated musicians.

As he recently marked his 60th birthday, the Egungun Be Careful crooner took a moment to reflect on his journey, achievements, and legacy, offering invaluable lessons for younger generations.

No Regrets, Just Gratitude

For many, turning 60 is a time to look back and wish things had been different. But not for Obesere. In his own words,

“There is nothing I wished I had done differently. It’s all God’s plan, and I don’t have any regrets whatsoever. I believe I’m still soaring higher. I have not even started.”

This unwavering belief in destiny and perseverance is what sets him apart. From his early struggles in Ibadan to becoming a household name in Fuji music, Obesere’s career has been a testament to hard work, resilience, and staying true to one’s craft.

From the Streets to Stardom

Obesere’s journey to fame wasn’t an easy one. In the early days, he had to fight for recognition in an industry dominated by Fuji greats like Ayinde Barrister and Kollington Ayinla. But rather than bow to pressure, he redefined Fuji music with his unique style, edgy lyrics, and streetwise charisma. His breakthrough hit, ‘Egungun Be Careful’, became an anthem that crossed cultural boundaries, solidifying his place as a trendsetter in Nigerian music.

A Legacy of Success and Blessings

Today, Obesere is not just a music icon but a successful businessman with multiple properties, international recognition, and a thriving family. He proudly shared some of his biggest blessings:

“There are lots of achievements that I can’t even mention. Is it the children that God blessed me with and helped me sponsor their education abroad? Or myself, that God gave another citizenship abroad? Or the houses and other investments that God has given me? There are lots of achievements. I can’t mention enough, really. All I can say is I thank my creator and my star.”

A Story Worth Telling

Obesere believes his journey is filled with valuable lessons for the younger generation. That’s why he is working on a biography and documentary to share his experiences.

“My story is inspiring, and I feel the upcoming generation should learn some lessons from it. That’s why, on one of my houses, it is boldly written: ‘Wisdom Compound.’ There is so much wisdom to learn from my life, journey, and career.”

His message to young, aspiring musicians and entrepreneurs is simple: stay focused, work hard, and never lose faith in your dreams.

Final Thoughts: An Icon Still Soaring

At 60, Obesere is far from slowing down. He sees his journey as just beginning, with more heights to attain. His life and career stand as proof that perseverance, talent, and a fearless spirit can break any barrier.

For the younger generation looking for motivation, Obesere’s life is a masterclass in resilience and the power of believing in oneself.
