Nigerian entertainer Bob Ejike is preparing to add another project to his work in the creative industry with the release of a 12-track Afrobeats album titled Just Love on November 23, 2026.
Titiansloaded reports that the upcoming record will be released through Amuse and made available on 31 music streaming platforms across 250 countries.
A statement from his office listed the songs as Just Love, Fortune Teller, Fiesta, Love Dance, Margerita, Mirror Mirror, Shakeam, Bright Eyes, Yaga Yaga, Forevermore, Dance Love and Cry.
The album announcement comes after decades of involvement in different areas of entertainment, including theatre, television, filmmaking and music.
Ejike’s interest in creative writing reportedly began during childhood. Born in Umuahia, Abia State, he was said to have started reading the works of Chinua Achebe at six. His literary efforts continued at Government College, Umuahia, where his short stories appeared in Drum magazine alongside works by Ben Okri.
He proceeded to the University of Port Harcourt to study Theatre Arts, receiving instruction from notable figures such as Ola Rotimi, Gabriel Okara and Elechi Amadi.
His professional career took shape through the television series Basi and Company, where he worked as both an actor and scriptwriter under the production of Ken Saro-Wiwa.
He later moved into film directing with Echoes of Wrath, a production featuring Richard Mofe-Damijo. The film received an award at the National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) and was among the productions associated with the development of Nigeria’s video-film industry, now widely recognised as Nollywood.
Ejike has also maintained an extensive presence in music. He has released several albums and produced about 550 music videos, with performances at events across Africa, Europe and the United States.
His engagements have included programmes organised by the British Council, Alliance Française and Goethe-Institut.
His work outside Nigeria included a six-year stay in Uganda, where he founded Probe Studios in Kampala and worked on the Ugawood project with General Elly Tumwine, a Ugandan military officer and politician.
While in the country, he organised concerts in Kampala and Jinja featuring Nigerian comedy duo Aki and Pawpaw.
The events reportedly drew more than 250,000 attendees, while Ugandan musician and politician Bobi Wine also appeared among the performers.
Another notable moment came in 2013 when Ejike represented Nigeria at the World Music Fiesta in Dubai. He was named Best Performer in a competition involving 35 groups representing 35 countries.
His performance included songs such as Hotter Than Dubai, Gimmi Gimmi, Iyawo Mi and All Through The Night.
Ejike has said his latest album is driven by his conviction that African popular music should command greater recognition in the international music market.
He also serves as Director of Music for the Miss Commonwealth Beauty Pageant and has received the EPRA Awards Lifetime Achievement Award.
His earlier music releases include Darling Give Me, Agbalumo, Money Deny, Africa, Sala Maleku, Love Dance and Mama.
