Reggae Artiste, Orits Wiliki’s Son, Eddy Noma, Speaks About Meeting His Father For the First Time Since He Was Born
Earlier this month, a young man, Eddy Noma, claimed that he is the long-lost son of Nigerian reggae star, Rassam Wiliki, popularly called Orits Wiliki.
In a chat with ATLANTIC newspaper, Eddy ,a singer based in Italy revealed that it took him 30 months search to find his father.
In a new interview with PUNCH, Wiliki said that he was unsure whether he had a child who was not under his roof till he saw his son.
“It is true that I recently got reunited with my long lost son. It was a good and overwhelming reunion. I really did not know he was in existence before we met; I had an inkling that I probably had a son out there but I was not entirely sure till we met.
So seeing him was more like a confirmation. When I met him, I was very happy. He is also a musician like myself and that was one of the reasons he said that he must look for his father.
Now that he is here with me, it is up to me to make sure that his music career surpasses mine and as I speak with you, we are working on the visuals to one of his songs. It does not matter that he does not sing reggae, in fact, I love that about him because he is free to sing any genre of music he is comfortable with,” he said.

QUESTION; WHO IS YOUR FATHER AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
ANSWER; My Father is Orits Williki and I am very sorry I may not be able to tell you about all that happened because I was in my Mother’s womb then but ever since I linked up with him he’s been of lots of blessings and inspirations to me hitherto.
People use to tell me of how big he is in Nigeria as a musician and that use to give me some excitements and inspirations because I have always known I was going to be a musician; so when I eventually and initially opened links with him, he was of the strict opinion that I finish my Education first before anything else and he promised to give his full support when that time comes.
So as soon as I graduated I said Nigeria here I come and true to his promise he hasn’t disappointed me he actually produced me with support from some other young Producers in his beautiful Studio.
