When I think about D’banj, I am struck by the image of a man that decided to do his thing and he’s doing it without waiting for manna from heaven. Dogged, focused, straight up and I like that about him.

Anything he puts his hand on, he puts it all and goes all the way to make it happen and e dey crase join too.

Long time ago, before he went to London to live, during a Plantashun Boyz show, he came and played the harmonica. This was in 2001. We didn’t really meet then, but I knew of him. We met again in London and we used to hang out with the guyz at JJC squad, and it struck me that this was one artiste who was determined.

In 2006, at a Beenie Man show in Nigeria, I sat beside him and I told him ” Guy meeehn, meeehn, I already won the MTV (Awards)” and I told him ” na u go collect this thing next and somehow it came to pass.” Serious prophecy.

I think the franchise idea that he has started with his brand is the way to go, it’s like a double-edged sword, cut go this side, cut go that side. Some people have only music, some have only entrepreneurial ability. D’banj and Don Jazzy have both. And they are doing it excellently well.

It’s the way forward mehn! Way to go.

Idibia is the first Nigerian winner of the MTV Europe Awards, winning in 2005 for best African Act.
