| Oyefeso and daughter |
New York based showbiz advocate has done so much for Nigerian entertainment world that his name surely deserved to be etched in the sand of time. No known musician or movie practitioner in the country some years back that do not have a good story to tell about the Ikenne, Ogun state born impresario .
“Alase” as he is fondly called by fans and admirers has
done so much in selling our brand to the
outside world especially at his base in
the United States of America; not only
that, he has also contributed hugely to the current state and acceptance that
Nigerian music enjoys these days amongst diverse culture and race. He is
regarded as a promoter that commands great respect among musicians and
artistes, especially those in the Yoruba genre. Many big musicians in Nigeria
like King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey and many others have benefitted immensely
from his promotional skill. Other artistes Ademola Oyefeso has promoted include
K1 the Ultimate, late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Kollington Ayinla, Salawa Abeni,
Lagbaja, late Orlando Owoh, Adewale Ayuba, Abass Obesere and Kola Ogunkoya, to
mention but a few.
Interestingly, Oyefeso has also extended his Midas touch
to another area of leadership that involves his Yoruba people just like he has
been positively affecting the Nigeria entertainment world. He has taken a step
further by coordinating the Yoruba people in his country of residence. Though,
his term is gradually coming to the end, Ademola as at today, is the president
of the Yoruba association known as Egbe Omo Yoruba in New York. During his term
as the president of the association, his achievement aside promoting peace and
progress among members, he also has the credit of getting an edifice for them that
has the inscription of ‘Yoruba House’ which has become a rendezvous for Yorubas
living in that part of the world.
