"I be real 9ja guy" - Meet Oyibo Rebel The Oyibo Naija Musician

-

                 
In a situation where most people are trying to move out of the country to find greener pastures, a foreigner is enjoying the country that most Nigerians are always complaining of, isn't that quite funny?

Meet Fares Boulos (born January 2, 1991 in Houston, Texas), better known by his stage name Oyibo Rebel , is a Nigerian American singer-songwriter and musician. Oyibo Rebel was raised in Nigeria and it is clear in the music that he creates (he speaks Yoruba and Pidgin like mad!). He said in an interview with Pulse "I be real Naija guy".

On making friends in Nigeria after he moved to Lagos as a five-year-old, "It was not that hard. I was very friendly child. The only things that were different with Lagos at the time - for kids at least - was Cinemas or things like that.

"Even TV, we were very limited to what we had. We had NTA and stuff like that. We didn't have Cartoon Network at the time (laughs hard while shaking his head)."

During the chat, Faris pledged allegiance to Nigerian Jollof while laughing hard, but claims his favourite meal is Eba and Egusi. But for breakfast, he likes fried yam and egg. Faris also likes Agege bread and sardines. While describing Agege bread and egg, he went,

"Ohhhh... " isn't that amazing.


Coincidentally, he's also Faris is a fourth generation African - his grandmother was born in Ivory Coast and his mom (a Lebanese) was born in Burkina Faso.

While he left Nigeria to go school in the US and to briefly work as an actor in London, he's been Nigerian for over 26 years.

His unique blend of afro beat and Hiphop make him a very versatile artist.

The perfect mix of raw energy & nurtured talent! I must say.


You can check out some of his songs:

1. Oju Mi Bloody ft. Chinko Ekun & Mz Kiss is the first single released by Oyibo Rebel.

2. Rosa ft Skales by Oyibo Rebel



We already have an 'African Giant,' which is clearly Burna Boy, how about an Oyibo African Giant to come in the building and make names, you know?

However, these closure of schools, has affected the education of more than 1.5 billion children and youth worldwide due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
