Eric Obuh

Eric Obuh also known as Vocal Slender or Slender (born 1 December 1982 in Ajegunle, Lagos, Nigeria) is an Afropop/reggae artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. He was featured on Part 1 of the BBC documentary "Welcome to Lagos" aired on BBC 2.〔 〕
The documentary features Eric as a scavenger who works and lives in a dumpsite on the outskirts of Lagos, Nigeria. He makes a living by collecting recyclable materials and selling them. He then saves his earnings to enable him buy studio time to produce a music album. Although Eric acknowledges that the dump has been good to him because it helps him keep body and soul together and make music, he has kept the fact that he is a scavenger from his family and friends, as he wants them to believe that the only thing he does is music to gain their respect
Since appearing in the documentary, his popularity has grown, with fans setting up a support group for him on Facebook and other websites. He has been featured in articles about ''Welcome to Lagos'' in ''The Observer'', ''The Independent'', and in ''London Metro''.

On 4 September 2010, he performed in front of over 30,000 guests at the Eddie Kadi’s Show that was held in London O2 Arena where fans and admirers of his thought-provoking story danced to his numerous tracks; including his hit track "Owo Yapa" (meaning Too-much money). Vocal Slender also did a club tour all around London and Manchester in 2010. He was also in London for the Nigeria Independent Carnival in October 2011 but the show was cancelled due to logistics problems.
