about
Oby Onyioha is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. She was born in Lagos and brought up in the eastern part of Nigeria. Her father was the Head of the Godian Religion. With its message of universal unity and its philosophy of “biri ka’m biri” (live and let live), Godaism seeks to bring harmony among the people of different religions in spite of their diversities.
Raised in this philosophy, Oby Onyioha first burst onto the Nigerian music scene in 1981 with the album “I Want To Feel Your Love” (Time Records Nigeria) which was named after her hugely successful single of the same title and also includes the two-stepping, finger snapping song “Enjoy Your Life”, with classic strings and freedom love themed lyrics making it a motivational anthem one cannot resist to dance on. The debut album was a huge success and took the Nigerian music scene by storm, at a time when disco music was considered the exclusive domain of western artists.
