Video of late Mohbad’s father in recording studio sparks mixed reactions online

A viral video of Mr Joseph Aloba, the father of late Afrobeat star, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, in which he was spotted in the studio singing has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

In the viral video, the old man was wearing a white dress and noise-canceling headphones, as he was passionately singing and recording a song in a music studio.

Mr Joseph who is trending for the umpteenth time for interesting reasons also cautioned people to be wary of their actions, “because the Lord will bring our works to judgment”.

“If you are in Jesus, nothing is hard for him to do. He is the perfect God. Run to him and come and see him, his name is Jesus. He is also called Yahweh. It was when he came that my life became settled,” he sings.

“Everything we have done. Everything we have said will come together, let us be careful because the Lord will bring our works to judgment.” Mr Aloba added in the song.

The move by Mr Aloba has forced many to sum up that he is putting an album together following the death of his son, Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad.

However, many others say it is an old video recorded even before his son passed on.
