OJB: 'I am the one searching for you now' – Sesan Adeniji writes
He opened his house and music studio for a whole lot of artistes to spring up from. His Gbaja residence in Surulere, was like a Mecca of sorts for artistes.

From Ruggedman, Jazzman Olofin, Durella, Nomoreloss, K-show and 6ix O…to name a few. Himself and Paul I.K Dairo singlehandedly took the modern day music industry to a height everyone today is enjoying from.
I remember walking into his studio when he was recording 2face’s debut album. I remember him telling me to help take 2face Idibia‘s picture. That picture became the cover art for 2face’s Grass to Grace video CD.
He succeeded not just as a producer but as a recording artiste. I will miss you Baba. Your song ‘Searching’ remains one of the best R&B song ever written and sung.
Just like the song…’I am the one who’s searching for all the great memories you have left with us’. RIP OJB!
