Joseph Aloba, the father of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, has spoken out about the family dispute surrounding the burial of late gospel singer Toluwanisings. In a video shared by Gistloverblog, Aloba expressed sadness over Toluwanisings' death and urged parents to reflect on the lessons they teach their children. He emphasized the importance of being mindful of one's actions and avoiding judgments about situations that are not fully understood.

Aloba referred to one of his late son Mohbad's songs, highlighting the importance of parents enjoying the benefits of their sacrifices while raising their children. He explained that parents face many struggles to provide for their children and deserve to reap the rewards of their efforts. This sentiment was conveyed in the context of the public's reaction to Toluwanisings' family dispute.
