My life got better after Mohbad’s death — Singer’s father
Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer, Ilerioluwa, aka Mohbad, has revealed that his life got better after the death of his son.
Aloba revealed this in an interview with a media personality, Akin Abolade, popularly 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.
Clarifying insinuations towards those accused, Mohbad’s father noted that he was laying emphasis on his son’s wife (Wunmi) and her family, adding, “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 said the birth of Mohbad led him to become a singer after the money from the naming ceremony was stolen, stressing that his late son became a backup singer for him at the age of one.
Aloba mentioned that he is a carpenter, singer, and pastor, although he does not have a church. He added that his son had promised to build one for him before his death.
The father toured his new block industry with the media personality, showing his new truck and Toyota Highlander vehicle gifted to him by Nigerians who were compassionate about his son’s death.
He also revealed that he has released about nine tracks since the death of his son.
On 11 September 2023, MohBad died in Lagos at the age of 26.
A nurse who was reported by his spouse to have administered a Tetanus vaccine to him was arrested and found to be an unlicensed nurse on 19 September 2023 by the Lagos State Police Command.

A nationwide publicity blitz has begun for MKO, the much-awaited film on the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election, with giant billboards springing up in strategic locations across Nigeria ahead of its October 1 national premiere.
The massive outdoor campaign signals the final countdown to the Nigerian release of the historical film, which revisits one of the most consequential episodes in the country’s political history and the turbulent events that followed the annulment of the election widely associated with the late Chief MKO Abiola.
In Lagos, MKO is already commanding prominent outdoor spaces, with a sprawling billboard announcing its October 2 cinema release to motorists and commuters.
The film will, however, make its formal Nigerian debut a day earlier at a National Command Premiere at the National Theatre, Lagos, on October 1, Nigeria’s Independence Day.According to the promoters, the premiere will be hosted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Managing Director of Nile Entertainment, distributors of the film, Moses Babatope, said the nationwide publicity drive was intended to take the story to as wide an audience as possible.
“It is a great movie about Nigerian history and life, and we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to see it,” Babatope said.
Directed by award-winning Hollywood-based Nigerian-American filmmaker Ose Oyamendan, MKO reconstructs the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election and examines the political and social upheavals that followed.
The Nigerian rollout follows the film’s international premiere at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival in the United Kingdom on June 12.
Its choice of June 12 for the international premiere and October 1 for its Nigerian premiere ties the film’s release to two dates with particular significance in Nigeria’s political history — Democracy Day and Independence Day
