Nothing brought me much grief than the news of the death of that legendary Igbo musician, composer and guitarist, Christogonus Ezebuiro Obinna popularly known as the Ultimate Dr. Sir warrior, it caused me so much sorrow that I wondered if he could be brought back by cloning to continue to do his musical thing, it is very unfortunate that in this part of the world his likes are usually not given recognition, so he died bringing fame to the Nigerian music lovers. In fact, I want to pointedly tell you that if you do not understand Igbo language as to know the lyrics of Warrior, you are missing piece of actions. The music of Warrior reigned supreme above those of others, ranking first and second in the years of highlife music in Nigeria and Africa. You would permit to rather use the name the Ultimate Dr. Sir warrior, his stage name all through this article, for this is the name by which he was and still known globally.

I am not from Imo State but I consider this legendary musician the greatest of all Igbo musicians with soft spot for proverbs relevant to the Igbo society and indeed the outside world. If you think otherwise, then you are biased especially if you reason with me that this man as I am told was from Mbaise, yet he immensely and musically contributed to the advancement of the Owerri region in particular and Igbo world in general. Many of us erroneously assumed him to hail from Owerri because of his love for the people of Owerri which easily manifested in his music. The ever confident Highlife musician never sang in praise of any individual as musicians of his days did, instead he concentrated in his unique tunes seeking to better and correct his immediate Nigerian society.

Typically, his music condemned evils which in his belief were often invited by the people of the world. His music carries along with it rare gifts of sense and calms troubled souls. His music is also unique and guided with purpose, interest and direction with no dull moment, generally no highlife tune compares with that of this Igbo philosopher who should have been inside the classroom lecturing Igbo culture and proverbs but he allowed a combination of his voice and guitar to do it for him. Warrior mastered his kind of music which he worked so hard to achieve that no one else I doubt can successfully enter his shoes and carry us along in the journey to the soul of Igbo music. He was the starting point as well as the last Bus stop of Igbo music.
