The first time I caught glimpse of her performing on TV, I stopped in my tracks and exclaimed  at what beautiful talent and confidence she possessed on the stage. I never knew we would one day work together.

Kefee to me was not just a client, she was more than a sister, more than a friend. When I faced hard times she taught me how to hand it all over to God and how He could heal every pain.

She shared my dream for Women in Entertainment and Arts. She ensured the awards were successful each year.
There was something unique about her that drew people closer and closer, she was selfless to a fault. Had to always make sure she took care of everyone else before herself. Whether I was in Sapele or in Lagos, Kefee could always get me a phone number for anything I needed from hair to make up and on.

One of the things I loved most about her was her ability to talk and to listen, so many nights we stayed up and nattered away till the wee hours. The good thing was our nattering was always constructive and we each went to bed learning something new or with a new outlook for the next day.

If anything ever upset me she would always be the first person I would ping and she always helped me manage the situation.

I remember our crazy dancing sessions. We once parked the car in the middle of a street, we got out and began dancing "No be Sapele Water" passersby would have thought we were high on something.

A few weeks ago we sat in her living room and nattered away as usual. Bros Teddy was there nattering away with us and she and her husband shared this look that made her blush like a 15 yr old school girl. A tear almost dropped from my eye I felt "Dear Lord see strong love". It was just amazing.

I'm so happy she spent the last few years being truly happy. She went back to school and finally became that certified film producer she wanted to be.

 My only regret is we always believed we would see each other tomorrow

"Unfortunately sis tomorrow is never gonna come.

I know you're resting now with your bodyguard and I know He will take great care of you till I meet you on that side. In the meantime I will ensure I do everything to keep your legacy alive. You will never be forgotten. Adieu Sweet one"

Your loving sister

About Kefee

Honored with the prestigious UN award as Young Ambassador for Peace Kefee was greatly armed with a warm spirit, a tender and thankful heart and a desire for everyone she comes in contact with to have the same experience. Kefee was a prolific song writer, a skilled dancer and a passionate singer. An artiste who's music is not only encouraging but inspiring and motivating. Born to Deacon and Mrs. Andrew Obareki in Sapele, Delta State. She started singing at an early age (8yrs) in the children choir, ever since, she has been transformed from one glory to another, She moved on to the adult choir when she was fifteen and at age eighteen she was made the choir Director. The choir released a couple of albums where she took lead vocals and backup vocals as well. Kefee, the Branama Queen studied Public Administration in the prestigious University of Benin, Edo State. By this time she had already written well over 20 songs and had a greater passion for music.

In 2000, she playfully composed and released an album titled “TRIP” with a friend; the album was a success and got them shows alongside artiste likes Tony Tetuila, Plantation boys and a long list of others. The album gained some recognition as the videos where the talk of the town in Benin, being the first female group to break off from the usual approach, the two friends parted after school but Kefee did not give up. In December 2003 she signed on with Alec Music and released her first solo album as a female artiste. Kefee’s “BRANAMA” sold nine thousand audio cassettes in just three weeks of the albums release and over two million copies of CDs/VCDs in a month. She became the hottest Nigerian female artiste and won a number of awards. Kefee's fan base increased all over Africa and also on the international scene, she was invited to perform in London and other parts of Europe and America.
Kefee's first album was a huge success which had her fans eagerly anticipating for her second album titled "BRANAMA 2".Her sophomore album was just as terrific as her first and also got her the respect of other well known Nigerian Artiste who worked with her for the album. The release of her latest effort titled “A Piece of Me” in January 2009, marked the unfolding of still a new era in the life and career of one of Africa’s most prolific music talents. “A Piece of Me” is almost notable for its tracking stylistic diversity, thread of modern Afro – Pop, R&B Classic and Traditional Africans etc. are all ingeniously woven together into a work that is cutting edge contemporarily but with a perfect touch of familiarity and tradition. “A Piece of Me” is irresistibly catchy.   She is the founder, CEO of BRANAMA AFRIQUE. An entertainment outfit known for excellent production, established in 2007. The company is responsible for the production, promotion and the entire packaging of Kefee’s  album titled “A Piece of Me”.

Her unique afro-centric music appeal received global recognition when she was selected as the poster African artiste for 2011 edition African music at The African Festival of the Arts in Chicago (AFA).

With her well lauded performance in Chicago, Kefee joined the hallowed list of other African music greats to mount the same platform such as Angelique Kidjo and Hugh Masekela.

That international exposure among numerous other tours to several parts of Africa, Europe and the rest of the world was a testament to her cross-cultural music appeal.

Her recognition as United Nation Ambassador for Peace is in recognition of her contribution towards bringing lasting peace to troubled regions in Nigeria such as the Niger Delta region where she hails of from and lately the Northern Nigerian city of Jos, Plateau State. Aside recently staging a concert and donating relief items to victims of violence in Jos, she also led over 20 artistes representing diverse cultures to record a peace song.
