Singer and actress Ego Ihenacho has revealed that Lagbaja was ive when she told him she was leaving his band

Ego, who left the band in 2006, disclosed this in an interview with the QEDNG publisher, Olumide Iyanda, in which she spoke about her experience working with the masked musician and her journey as a solo artiste.

Speaking on why she left the band and how Lagbaja ed her when she told him she was leaving, Ego said: “I just felt I needed to move on and it wasn’t as dramatic as people thought it was. There was nothing and it wasn’t something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

“So, it was probably a month after, it just came to my mind, my gut feeling said okay that was the time to move and I told him sometime in October and I mean, it was expected, I wouldn’t stay there forever, as ionate as I am and as ambitious as I am about music.

“In fact, I’m surprised I even lasted that long. You know, so he was very ive, he was happy-sad you know, he was like ‘Okay, I always knew you had this in you so when do you want to?’ and I was like ‘Okay, we just started the new year, December will be like my graduation, so that was like a farewell show and that was it and I moved on.”

Ego added that working on her own was tough and she had to fight for her place as a solo artiste but that she was able to succeed with the help of those who ed her.

“Musically, it’s been good, tough, but like I always say, I took some things for granted. It’s not Lagbaja anymore, it’s me with my band. So, you’ve seen me with a band so it’s not going to be hard for you to call me for shows but it didn’t happen that way.

“I really had to fight for my place as a band and it was encouraging, I had people who ed me by calling me for shows and it was great. I got the Glo ambassadorship and other opportunities. It was just a mix of the good and bad and here I am, also as an actor, so I’m grateful for the journey,” she said.

When asked if she missed the monthly show at Lagbaja’s Motherlan’, the Wura actress said: “I miss Motherlan’ a lot. Like I said, it was just a vibe. There was something to look forward to. we had everybody and there was just that common thing for everybody at that time, you know, the jokes, the music, we had the old, the young it was just amazing. It was just a nice vibe so I miss that.”

She’s Igbo
Without her, there won’t be any lagbaja

Merry Christmas, everyone!
We wish you abundant blessings & a prosperous new year!

From all of us at Rural Rays Africa.

That was during the days of PDP when there wasn't anything like tribalism in Nigeria. You can work with anyone and they'll you with everything they have.

APC ruined all that with their divide and rule politics. Today before anyone thinks of helping you, he'll first look at your name to see if you share the same ethnicity.

I see those who destroyed this country dying before the first quarter of next year.

This I have seen.

Though it seems age has caught up with her, but her melodious voice still remain topnotch. Best of luck in your endeavour.

I this their music tittle dream come 2ru and konko below.

But, you and Lagbaja make sense compare to going solo. My thought tho.

Merry Christmas

She can't be with lagbaja for life, she paid are dews and moved on. We wish her luck. Abeg if you're close to lagbaja help me tell him I miss his music, I was nickname Lagbaja in my secondary school cos I like him like mad. Miss you sir
