Their father was born by the Late Chief Ezigbo Obili-e-bo. The popular Ekpili music star then. One of his greatest fans was General Yakubu Gowon then Nigeria Head of State, who on one occasion after watching him perform, gave him a car gift 504 Pegeot.. That was in 1973 or 1974. Obiligbo is a stage name. Their direct father is Ajana Obiligbo. He was the first son of the great Obiligbo. He was a music star too.

Ogbuozor is the elder, while Akunnwafor is the next in the family. From same mother and father, They are princeds by heredity.. There baptismal names are Chukwuemeka known as Akunwafor and Ifeanyichukwu Obiligbo known as Ogbuozor.

About their career, this is what they has to say:

Well, that is a gift from our creator, God Almighty, because we grew up in the streets. We were not born with golden spoon or raised in so called Government Reserved Areas (GRA) because our father, a middle class man musician allowed us to mix up well with the people while we’re growing up. That helped us to pass through the street life, schools and from there; we came to know the exact happenings in the country today. We thank God for that and that is where our inspirations to write our songs are coming from always.

When asked:
While growing up as you said in the streets, did it ever occur to you people that one day you will become music stars or something great?

Infact, that thought never came into our minds then. We’re just living to survive and to be alive tomorrow. But what we will be, we never knew. And you can notice it from our songs. We used what we experienced that happened around us to compose our songs.

In 2018, they realeased their album titled Udogadi which means (peace will reign). They also featured Flavour in the popular hit song, Awele!.

These guys will definitely go far. Even here in western Nigeria their songs are so popular. Modern version of Osadebe. Their lyrics are so matured you would think they are some 50s dudes.
