Remember him? He is the other half of the reggae music group, Mandators. Along with his late lover, Peggy Imanah, they ruled the late 90s with their debut album, sunrise.
But in the wake of the break-up with Imanah and the scandal that trailed his relationship with a certain nurse, Eshiet left the country to seek greener pastures abroad. It was rumoured that he kept music aside and instead took on a job as taxi driver.
Last week, he appeared at the Nigerian Music Video Awards where he was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. As he received the award, Eshiet gave a speech laced with heavy American accent, to the amusement of the crowd who mimicked every word he said.
