When at the beginning of his music career he started to address himself as "Omo Oko" (Village Boy) before he recently upgraded the cognomen to "Baba Oko" (Village Man) to reflect the fact that he has transited from being a boy to a man over the years, not many Fuji music lovers knew Sefiu Alao was only being true to his rustic background from the ancient town of Abeokuta, Ogun State, by associating "village"with himself as an identity. Apart from that, nothing in his achievements as a Fuji artiste has given him away as a village person. And that is because he has been taking giant strides only very few Fuji artistes have been able to attempt.
As you read this, the very talented singer is currently cruising across the seas in the Americas on his World Tour 2016. After the tour kick-started in Germany where he spent days entertaining Nigerians in the diaspora as well as foreign nationals who love good music, Sefiu Alao has been on the sea singing for mixed nationalities since four days ago. The sea cruise which is reportedly at the instance of Asiwaju Khamis Tunde Badmus, the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland and Chairman, Tun Farms, for his 70th birthday celebration, would reportedly last for seven days.
Meanwhile, the cruise taking Sefiu Alao as well as his friend and top actor, Otunba Bolaji Amusan better known as Mr. Latin, across Orlando, Haiti, Mexico and Jamaica, according to findings by this blogger is one feat no other Fuji artiste, dead or alive, has attained before. Hence, it is a first of its kind. And Agbara Orin, as Sefiu Alao is also fondly called, according to an insider's information, is due back in the country later in the month.
