When he enters any Owambe party, he usually enters in a big way. He usually does not party alone. He attends parties with his group of friends who are all successful men of timber and calibre.

What stands Afo Guarantor out is that when he comes to your party he comes loaded with his cooler of exotic drinks like Champagne, wine., Whiskey & Brandy. He also comes with food, just in case adequate arrangements have not been made by his host. That is why everybody likes Afo to be at their party. He is an asset to any party. if he likes you he will follow you to anywhere to honour you.

He is a great fan of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey. That is the only music he listens to. Not that he does not like other musicians, he does; but Obey is his No1 musician. Perhaps it’s the Egba factor that explains this. Both of them are great Egba men. Obey too likes Afooooo. He has waxed several songs in his honour.

What is unique about his dressing are his caps, agbada and accessories. He has great taste. He wears well-embroidered caps done the typical Yoruba way. And his Agbada is always full and rich.

EBENEZER OBEY MUSIC COMPANY THRILLS

Ebenezer Obey sets the bar in entertainment. He is so adored that almost everyone, regardless of their cultural belief, accepts him and sees him as their icon. He is a force to be reckoned with behind the microphone. Obey performs his songs with a level of ease that one cannot easily find among other entertainers. He makes people dance, no doubt, and beyond this, he leaves a strong imprint of his ideas into them.

These and many other reasons made Afo Guarantor get stuck to his music and entertainment style. Although Baba was not physically present at the event, but his impact was felt to a great extent. Those listening from afar, that couldn’t have a glimpse of what was going-on on the kept arguing back and forth that Baba Commander was the one behind the microphone. Alas, it was one of his boys. Baba had recreated himself in the band. The Band Leader appeared like the Ebenezer Obey of the 1970s and 80s and he also sang exactly like his mentors.
