Ebenezer Obey is the G.O.A.T. — The Greatest Of All Time. For a lot of us, it felt as though we were forced to listen to his songs, but looking back now, one sees the truth he was saying and one gets why our parents were hooked on him.

1. “Olo mi,” which is what a lot of people know.

2. “Aimasiko,” on hustle and God’s timing.

3. “Ota mi dehin l’ehin mi,” a classic one for haters.

4. “Ori mi,” a prayer that his head will not attract bad luck.

5. “Baba lo ran mi,” which is a reminder that he was sent by God to spend his time.

6. “Yungba Yungba.”

6. “Olowo l’aye mo,” which teaches the importance of being wealthy.

7. “The horse, the man, and his son,” or that song that reminds us of how impossible it is to please everyone.

8. “Alowo ma jaye,” the classic song for people who had money but did not want to flex.

8. “Ara n ba da,” a beautiful piece about all the things he wants do do and how money is a hinderance.
