A Discourse on Imo's Renowned Musical Maestro - Sir Warrior
Formally known as Christognus Ezebuiro Obinna, born in 1947,, Sir Warrior hails from Umuhu, Enyiogugu in present day Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State. It is on record that as a young boy, this fine gentleman believed that God created him to sing and it was in a bid to pursue his dream that he became a member of a men's choral group with a unique specialty in a music form called 'Ese'. By the time Sir Warrior became sixteen years old, he was well known for his amazing voice and beautiful performance of Ese music. Christognus Ezebuiro at twenty -four had already registered a significant trademark with his special genre of highlife music which blended Congolese guitar packing and traditional Igbo rhythms and proverbs. Sir Warrior, at some point in his career, was the leader of the Oriental Brothers International Band which dominated the Nigerian highlife music stage for many decades. Described as a Nigerian boy band formed after the Nigerian civil war (1967 - 1970), it is believed that the band and all of its players helped draw Igbo people out of post -civil war misery through its melodious and deeply expressive songs that reflected life's realities as well as the social happenings in the society. His 1975 album entitled - "Nwa Ada Di Mma" with eight song tracks broughr him much accolades and recognition globally. Also his usage of Igbo proverbs and in his songs was appreciated by his fans such that he earned the title "The Ultimate Star of Music". It also made people see him as one of the greatest Igbo highlife musicians of the 20th century. Sir Warrior died in 1999 at fifty -two years. He is survived by his wife, two sons and brother. Some of his masterpiece include: Uwa Chia Chia, Uwa Sef, Udo ma Ike, Ome mma, Madu Mezie Ndu Ya, Ndi ji ego, Chi awu otu, Anri Aku, Gi nyem ugwum, Hapum Meberi, and the likes. Sir Warrior was indeed a warrior of songs. He will forever be remembered.
