Week of activities for the 36th Lisabi Festival in Abeokuta, Ogun State, at the weekend, with veteran music icon, Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, serenading participants with his signature songs.
The Lisabi Festival is a cultural heritage of the Egba people in Ogun State, marked every year, in honor of the legendary Lisabi, the hero of the Egba liberation struggle from the old Oyo Kingdom dominance.
The festival brings together Egba sons and daughters at home and in the Diaspora to honor their ancestors. Obey-Fabiyi, Egba’s famous son, was at his best as he belted out a number of catchy green songs and had the crowd dancing and singing along with him.
The ‘Commander in Chief’, as he is popularly known on stage, entertained the audience for hours, leaving an unforgettable night of superlative excitement.
