In a recent interview with reporters, Eedris talked about how he became a
superstar, he was making reference to his hit song “Jagajaga” and former
president, Olusegun Obasanjo’s response to his song
Looking back, the artiste, who has been in the game for two decades, says
he is glad that he yielded to the call.
“I would have made more money from music if I sing praises. But if you are
a public officer who is accountable, I will definitely praise you. With music, I
have met all my needs and gained international recognition.
I have the authority to walk up to any governor’s door and get instant
recognition. They will say, “Ah, Eedris Abdulkareem, Obasanjo’s friend, Jaga
jaga”. It has opened many doors for me and I don’t have to sell my soul to
the devil or become a member of illuminati to be successful,” he says amid
laughter.
When asked to comment on the high point of his career, his face lights up in
a smile
“The best to ever happen to me was former President Olusegun Obasanjo
talking back at me, calling me a mere street boy whose father is not known.
The president took me to the next level, I became a super star, and now
people know me, because Obasanjo put me in his level.”
