10 things OJB said two days before he died…

On Sunday June 12, 2016, TheNETng spent time at the home of  OJB Jezreel…The interview was supposed to be for his  50th birthday celebration…

Below are ten quotes from his interview with TheNet.

1.

‘What most people don’t know about me is that I am very unassuming and I pray a lot.’

2.

‘You should always let people know that there’s a ladder to climb, that there’s more to what they see.’

3.

‘One minute you are at the top, the next minute it’s somebody else, and a lot of people have not been able to manage such situations.’

4.

‘I have never been a comparison kind of person, but from where I’m coming from, it’s safe to say I’ve really tried. So I think the clear cut thing is destiny.’

5.

‘I see some of my mates coming out to do the ‘I want to blow again’ thing and it’s so funny to me, because you already came at a time the industry needed that change, you inspired a lot of people, so there’s no need to compete any more.’

6.

‘Now, we are supposed to be mentors to this generation so they’ll begin to understand that beyond money, there is extreme need for passion which seems to be missing.’

7.

‘The 2face Idibia Grass To Grace album still remains the most tasking project I’ve done till date. I say it because most people don’t know 2face is very stubborn.’

8.

‘I wish we had been able to structure a proper remuneration system for music producers and songwriters and the other guys behind the scene.’

9.

‘What I’ve always said for the past 10 years is to keep it simple and humble, not because you are stupid or slow, but because in the end that’s all that counts.’

10.

‘When you are younger you see a lot of regrets, but when you are older you see the regrets as things that shaped your life to become who you are and that’s what makes you an elder with experience.’
