Omo-Opeki Set to Make History With Groundbreaking 3-in-1 Fuji Album

By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji)

Alhaja Queen Isimot Abake Abiola — widely known as Omo-Opeki — is preparing to enter a new chapter in Fuji music history. In the second quarter of the year, the respected Fuji act will release a bold 3-in-1 album project, a move poised to position her as the first female Fuji artist to accomplish such a feat.

 

In a genre long defined by male dominance and tradition, the moment is more than a release date on the calendar. It is a cultural statement.

 

*A Defining Moment for Female Voices in Fuji*

Fuji music, rooted in Yoruba Islamic and Apala traditions, has evolved into one of Nigeria’s most enduring indigenous genres. While women have contributed meaningfully to its growth, large-scale, high-volume album projects have historically been spearheaded by men.

 

Omo-Opeki’s upcoming 3-in-1 album challenges that narrative.

 

Releasing a multi-volume body of work at once requires more than studio time. It demands creative stamina, strategic planning, financial investment, and a loyal audience base strong enough to sustain it. For a female Fuji artist to undertake such an ambitious rollout speaks volumes about her confidence, catalog depth, and command within the scene.

 

Though full details of the album — including title and track list — will be unveiled in a subsequent announcement, industry watchers already view the project as a landmark moment.

 

*Beyond Music: Leadership and Representation*

Omo-Opeki’s influence extends beyond the stage. She serves as the President of the Elite Women Musician Association of Nigeria (EWMAN), a platform dedicated to supporting and amplifying female musicians across genres.

 

Her leadership role within EWMAN reflects a broader commitment to representation, mentorship, and structural support for women navigating Nigeria’s music ecosystem. In an industry where access, visibility, and executive opportunities often skew male, her dual position as both active recording artist and association president reinforces her credibility.

 

Balancing artistry with advocacy is no small task. Yet, it strengthens the symbolism of her forthcoming album. This is not just about breaking a record; it is about expanding possibilities for those coming behind her.

 

*The Significance of a 3-in-1 Album*

In the Nigerian music space, multi-disc or multi-volume releases are often used to:

• Showcase artistic range and versatility

• Celebrate career milestones

• Solidify legacy within a genre

• Deliver expansive storytelling in one cycle

 

For Fuji — a genre deeply rooted in live instrumentation, lyrical improvisation, praise-singing, and extended compositions — a 3-in-1 project represents creative endurance. It suggests a body of work substantial enough to justify breadth rather than brevity.

 

If executed with the depth and authenticity her audience expects, the release could redefine what scale looks like for female Fuji musicians.

 

*Timing and Industry Context*

The second quarter of the year is often a strategic window for major releases. It allows artists to build momentum ahead of peak festive seasons while giving projects enough runway to breathe.

 

For Omo-Opeki, the timing may also signal confidence. Announcing such a milestone release well ahead of full details creates anticipation — a calculated move that keeps industry conversations active.

 

More importantly, it places Fuji back into broader mainstream discussions at a time when Afrobeats continues to dominate global headlines. Indigenous genres thrive when artists take bold steps that demand attention, and this release does exactly that.

 

*A Cultural Statement in Motion*

At its core, this upcoming 3-in-1 album is about more than numbers. It is about presence.

 

It speaks to longevity in a genre that respects hierarchy and experience. It reflects resilience in an industry that tests consistency. And it underscores the evolving space women now occupy within traditional music circles.

 

Omo-Opeki’s journey has been one of steady growth, cultural pride, and unwavering dedication to Fuji’s roots. With this release, she is not only adding to her catalog — she is writing herself into a new chapter of the genre’s history.

 

As anticipation builds for the full album details in the coming weeks, one thing is already clear: the second quarter will not just mark a release. It will mark a moment.

 

And for female Fuji musicians across Nigeria, it may very well mark a turning point.

Akintunde Supercharges City Boy Movement: Donates Five Buses, Endorses One-Million-Vote Target for Tinubu in Oyo

 

Senator Yunus Akintunde, representing Oyo Central Senatorial District, has announced the donation of five operational buses to the City Boy Movement in Oyo State, giving a major logistics boost to the group’s expanding grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The commitment was made during a courtesy visit by the Oyo State leadership of the movement to the senator’s Ibadan residence—part of the group’s ongoing engagements with key political stakeholders across the state.

Senator Akintunde, while commending the movement for what he described as “consistent, organised, and youth-driven mobilization,” said the City Boy Movement had become a formidable political structure bridging the gap between young people and political leadership.

He praised the group’s statewide presence and strategic mobilisation efforts, noting that their activities had strengthened political awareness in hard-to-reach communities.

“In support of your operations, I will be donating five buses. These are essential needs for coordination and I am fully convinced that any investment made in this movement is worth it,” Akintunde said.

He reminded the gathering that he is also a proud member of the City Boy Movement, adding:
“Our mission is clear—to build and sustain a government that is reliable, responsible, and responsive.

The results of the current administration’s policies are beginning to show, and we must encourage our people to stay the course.

Obstacles will come, but with determination, we will achieve our goals.”

Director of the City Boy Movement in Oyo State, Hon. Femi Onireti, said the organisation had intensified mobilisation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election, declaring that the group is targeting one million votes for the President in 2027.

“We are prepared to go all out. Our target is one million votes for President Tinubu in Oyo State, and our mobilisation machinery has been activated across all zones,” Onireti stated.

Corroborating this, the Oyo State Coordinator of the movement, Chief Ahmed Ajibola, revealed that the group already has more than 50,000 registered members and well-structured presence across all 351 wards in Oyo State, a network he described as “an asset for deep grassroots penetration.”

The leadership of the City Boy Movement expressed profound appreciation to Senator Akintunde for his support, describing him as a steadfast ally of youth political participation and grassroots development.

Other members who spoke during the visit reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the organisation’s mobilisation activities as preparations toward future political engagements intensify across the state.
