Mohbad tried to end 15-year rift between me and my wife a month before he died, says Dad
Joseph Aloba, the father of Mohbad, says the late singer tried to reconcile him with Abosede Aloba, his wife.
Born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, Mohbad died on September 12 and was buried the following day.
The circumstances surrounding his death have continued to stir up controversies.
In October, Abosede said she only started to have a cordial relationship with Mohbad in 2019.
Aloba, in a recent chat with Oriyomi Hamzat, the radio personality, said Mohbad tried to organise a wedding ceremony for him and Abosede in a bid to reconcile them.
Aloba also said he had separated from the late singer’s mother for 15 years.
He said the wedding was scheduled for October — a month before Mohbad’s death.
Aloba added that he would honour the late singer’s request to reconcile with Abosede even in his death.
“The day Mohbad died, I had earlier decided that I would not go out of the house, but Mohbad’s mother called me that Mohbad was ill. I then told her to meet me at the bus stop because her place was not far from mine. We had started talking at that time,” he said.
“Even it was just a month that he (Mohbad) wanted to organise a wedding ceremony for us. He tried a lot. He is a son I love. He would say ‘daddy, this is what I want’. He said ‘why should I go to Ikorodu because I want to see my father and go to Sango to visit my mother’.
“When I heard those words I remembered everything he had been saying for over two years. When I listened to him when he was alive, should I now do otherwise when he died? It is not what is good.
“What is he (Mohbad) said in his song about not seeing his mother for 10 years was actually 15 years.
“Everybody knows in our family. Mohbad was seven years old when his mum left. His sibling was two and half years, while his older sister was 10 years old.”

Chris Brown opens up on dating multiple ladies
Chris Brown, the American singer, has revealed that he is in a polygamous relationship.
Brown, in a YouTube live with Kai Cenat, the US content creator, addressed questions about his personal life.
When asked if he was in a relationship, the 35-year-old Virginia-born artiste replied, “I am in multiple”.
Cenat sought clarification, asking, “Like more than one girlfriend?” Brown responded, “Something like that”.
The award-winning singer also emphasized the importance of transparency and honesty in maintaining his polygamous relationships.
“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.
This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.
In an interview with Hot 97, the singer opened up about the challenges of maintaining a monogamous relationship due to his celebrity status and constant exposure to women.
“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.
“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”
Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.

Davido advises black Americans not to relocate to Nigeria, says ‘the economy is in shambles’
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.
In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.
Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.
“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.
