It was a night of pristine entertainment on Friday as Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, was treated to unforgettable music, comedy, and fun by Globacom at its ‘An Evening with Glo’ event held to kickstart the 2025 Ojude Oba celebrations.
The event, which ushered in the 20th anniversary of Globacom’s sponsorship of the festival, featured legendary musicians Evangelist Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi and King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1). The duo delivered mesmerizing performances that left the packed Conference Hall venue spellbound.
Comedians Gbenga Adeyinka, Bash, and Kiekie added to the excitement with their rib-cracking jokes. The evening was a testament to Globacom’s commitment to promoting Nigerian culture and heritage.

On KWAM 1, the company disclosed “For decades, King of Fuji, K1 De Ultimate, the Fuji master, has been a great part of the music firmament in Nigeria, with his unique brand of Fuji that has elicited huge interest”.
