Dr Sir Warrior
Christogonus Ezebuiro Obinna (1947, Imo State, Nigeria – 2 June 1999), the Ultimate Dr. Sir Warrior, was the leader of the Oriental Brothers International Band which was famous in the Nigerian Igbo highlife music scene for several decades.〔Duru, Ben. "Musicians, Others Remember Sir Warrior". ''Post Express''. 2 July 1999.〕 He performed primarily in Nigeria, as well as performing internationally in places such as London and the United States of America.
==Musical career==
Dr. Sir Warrior was able to transform his performance into a successful career in the 1970s when he joined the Oriental Brothers International Band. The band later splintered, leading to Prince Ichita & the Great Oriental Brothers International Band, Oriental Brothers International, and then the original Dr. Sir Warrior & His Oriental Brothers International, simply called The Oriental Original. He had about 12 platinum and 10 gold hits in his career.〔Obi, Felix. ("Whither Nigerian Music?" ), NigeriaWorld.com. 27 February 2005. Retrieved on 12 January 2006, from .〕 His 1978 album ''Nwanne Awu Enyi'' went gold, selling more than 7.8 million copies.
The Oriental Brothers were composed primarily of Godwin Kabaaka Opara, Ferdinand Dansatch Emeka Opara, Nathaniel Ejiogu, Hybrilious Akwilla Alaraibe, Prince Ichita and Christogonus Ezebuiro "Warrior" Obinna. Ejiogu died shortly before the band's success. The first split within the group occurred in 1977 when founding members Dansatch Opara and Prince Ichita left to start their own bands under the Oriental Brothers moniker. The Opara brothers later joined The Oriental Original.
Though each of the groups had their distinct sound, they all shared a passion for blending Congolese guitar picking and traditional Igbo rhythms. According to the Igbo magazine Kwenu, "the Oriental Brothers played a very important spiritual role in keeping many Igbo sane. They were the pride of a people traumatized by a war so vicious."
