RIP John Oboh
This was one of the last music videos he was working on. He fought for the emancipation of the black race, against discrimination because of black colour, unity and respect for all.
He has several award winning music and videos. He also tirelessly produced and sponsored and shared his immense talents and passion for creativity with so many musicians and artists.
Funeral arrangements yet to be announced by the family.
RIP John!🙏❤️
