Joseph Aloba, the late singer Ilerioluwa aka Mohbad’s father, stated that the death of his son Mohbad has significantly improved his own life.
Aloba made this assertion stated during an interview with media personality Akin Abolade, also known as Mrlilgaga, on Wednesday.
“Let me just say yes, my life got better after Mohbad’s death because he is my friend. He had it in plan to do many things for me but they didn’t allow him to do them. After his death, it was the spirit of Mohbad, and that of God combined together that began to send people to assist me.
“Even the car and everything I have now, it was people that gave them to me and it is beyond ordinary. So it is the spirit of Mohbad and God that led those people to give me all I have now.
Those were the things he was meant to be doing for me, but they didn’t allow him to do them,” he added.
On his son’s wife, he said, “They did a lot concerning that boy (Mohbad). All his landed property is in their possession. Even the land he bought for me to build a church, I forced him to buy and mold the blocks on it, which was later used to bury him.
“Two weeks before his death, he took me to the house he wanted to buy and told me he was going to buy it after the completion of his tour, for which I know he had completely paid.”
He also stated that the birth of Mohbad inspired him to become a musician after the money from the naming ceremony was taken, emphasizing that his late son began singing backing for him at the age of one.
Aloba stated that he is a carpenter, singer, and pastor, despite not having a church.
He also mentioned that his son had promised to create one for him before he died.
