Oshamo Returns to Nigeria After Six Years, Wows Fans at Babcock

The Afrobeats star behind “Gobe” reconnects with fans, bringing energy, nostalgia, and a glimpse of new music during his surprise campus visit

Oshamo finally returned to Nigeria after spending six years away, and the timing could not have felt more perfect. He showed up at Babcock University, and the whole place reacted the way a crowd does when a favourite song suddenly comes on. Students rushed out, whispering, laughing, and trying to confirm if the person they were seeing was truly the artist behind “Gobe.” 

Oshamo brings energy and nostalgia to his first visit back to Nigeria.”

To understand why this moment mattered, it helps to remember who Oshamo is. He built his early rise under Mr Eazi’s label, and his sound carried that easy, melodic Afrobeats vibe people love. So when news spread that he was on campus again, it felt almost like someone pressed play on nostalgia. People who had streamed his music years ago found themselves face to face with the artist they used to talk about in hostel hallways.

During his visit, Oshamo kept things simple. He greeted fans, cracked a few jokes and looked genuinely happy to be home. There was a softness in the way he moved through the crowd, almost as if he missed this kind of warmth. I think everyone could sense that he came back not only to reconnect but also to restart.

He hinted that new music is on the way. Fans reacted with cheers, and the excitement spread quickly online. For many people, his return feels like the beginning of something fresh, and Nigeria seems more than ready to welcome him back into the Afrobeats spotlight.
