Singer-songwriter, Omolegbe Aghogho, has said she will inspire millions of music lovers with the live version of “Ogigiri” one of the songs from her recently released album titled ‘Than Before’
Throwing more insight on the new sound Aghogho said: “As an inspirational artiste, I use my music as a tool to inspire and motivate particularly the young generation.
“The word Unstoppable means there is no backing down no matter what life throws at you. I think It takes a lot to rise out of affliction and pain and despondency and derision and the list goes on.
“I think it’s the will power, everything starts in the mind’ I tell my children. If you can think it you can be it, that’s the mindset of an Unstoppable person, down but not out, trampled upon but only to rise again.
“You just can’t keep one down when the person is Unstoppable, doubts may arise but trust is in place for a sound mind because there is an understanding that in the end it will work together for good.
“The inner resolve to stand when the storms of life are raging in your face, not blinking when the winds are blowing, remaining resolute in your thoughts and actions, refusing to give in when the situations are not giving, that’s hard to do I know. Having hope in the midst of a hopeless situation.
Having a short sighted knowledge of the future but holding on because the anchor holds so we are Unstoppable!”
She, however, explained that Ogigiri is an Urhobo word for unstoppable, adding that the melody and vocal expression on the sound is even more than a motivation and worth a listen.

The auxiliary nurse who treated the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, has revealed what transpired that led to his demise.
Testifying before Justice C.A. Shotobi at the Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Friday, Ogedengbe recounted that after giving Mohbad the injection, he developed goosebumps. His wife, Omowunmi, allegedly described it as a “normal response” for him.
According to the nurse, she was called to treat Mohbad for a cut on September 11, 2023. The following day, she administered tetanus, paracetamol, and antibiotic injections.
After the third injection, Mohbad reportedly felt nauseous and threw up, leading to weakness and goosebumps.
Nurse’s testimony on how Mohbad died
“On Sept 11, 2023 I was at Cotonou to process my admission. As I was on my way back , I saw Spending’s missed call and I called him back. Then he told me I should come and treat his friend in the house who had a cut. I told him I was just coming back from Cotonou.
“I later missed his calls because I couldn’t pick up. As I got to CMS, a call came in from DJ Bami, he introduced himself that he was from Spending. I couldn’t go to the house that day. I got there the next day at about 2:30pm. I met a guy in the sitting room carrying Liam and DJ Bami led me upstairs.
“On getting to the room Mohbad was, I saw some water on the floor which Dj Bami mopped. We then moved Mohbad from the room he was to another room. It was only the 4 of us that were upstairs. Me, Mohbad, Djbami and Wunmi. As I was giving the first injection, Mohbad asked me the type of injection I wanted to give him and I told him Tetanus Injection, Paracetamol Injection and antibiotics. I first gave him Tetanus and Paracetamol Injection. After I gave him the paracetamol injection, Wunmi said he had ulcer.
“When I gave him the third injection, he started reacting and saying he wanted to throw up. Djbami and wunmi led him to the bathroom where he threw up. After throwing up, he sat down on the floor and was very weak. Then, goose bumps appeared on his body. Wunmi told me that is how he used to react to injection and I told her that she should have told me before.
“She then said that if they pour water on his head, he will calm down. Wunmi then poured water on him. When I saw the goose bumps, Dj Bami and I quickly went down to rush to the pharmacy so we could get an antidote. We got to the first pharmacy but they didn’t have what we wanted, we then went to another pharmacy. They called Djbami from the house that Mohbad was convulsing and I told them to rush him to the hospital.”
