Veteran musician Ebenezer Obey has revealed his harrowing experience surviving prostate surgery, which nearly cost him his life.

The singer, who will be turning 82 in April, recounted his ordeal in an interview with Saturday Beats, emphasizing that his survival was solely by the grace of God, similar to veteran actor Kola Oyewo.

Ebenezer Obey also promised to share the full testimony on his 82nd birthday on April 3. He said:

It is by the grace of God that I survived prostate surgery at the age of 82. I thank God for bringing me out of a prostate enlargement surgery operation at Kelina Hospital, Lagos. I thank my friends, followers, fans and people of God for their prayers. Some people came to visit me in the hospital. I thank them all.

“God told me I had not finished what he sent me to do on earth. He said He still had more assignments for me. I am also determined to do more of such works for Him. I will share the full testimony at my 82nd birthday on April 3.”

He added that despite his initial fears, Nigerian doctors and prayers aided his recovery.

The veteran juju musician also stated that he intends to release a song addressing prostate enlargement. He added:

“I also plan to release a song on the issue of prostate enlargement. I will talk about my experience and inform the public. It is a disease that usually afflicts males, and can happen to any man from the age of 40 and above. King Charles of Britain also had it. It is more dangerous when it is cancerous. I am grateful that mine was not cancerous. I am happy that I passed through it, and was congratulated when I survived it.”

Sharing his birthday plans, he stated that he would carry out philanthropic initiatives across nine locations, including Pacelli School for the Blind, and Lepers’ Colony, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

According to him, he would cap the activities with a thanksgiving service on April 3, 2024, at the Decross Gospel Mission, Lagos.

Hails other music legends; Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey

Veteran singer, 9ice has said that late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti set a ladder for Nigerian musicians to climb to the top.

Speaking in an interview with ‘Sis Project Studios’, 9ice noted that Fela as the originator of Afrobeat, introduced what has paved the way for many artistes to leverage.

He observed that back then, other artistes were experimenting with various genres and looking for opportunities to share their talents with the public. While Fela continued along a route in the Afrobeat genre that was recognized all over the world.

In his words:

“Fela Anikulapo-Kuti gave us the platform which is Afrobeat for us to climb on top. We were trying to do Afropop. We were trying to do afrobeats. We were trying to do different names. But Baba [Fela] already has something that the world recognized.

“Afrobeat taught me a lot. King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, and Fela Anikulapo-Kuti are our grandfathers. And I’m glad to be in existence to emulate or to follow what they’ve done,” He said.

"Fela Anikulapo-Kuti gave us the platform which is Afrobeat"

Chief Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, the Juju maestro, has spoken out about the death of his son, Olayinka.

The experienced and well-known juju artist stated that despite his best efforts to help his late son, Olayinka, ‘battle his shortcomings,’ he was unsuccessful.

Recall that Olayinka, 48, was said to have passed away on Friday, July 31, 2022, and interred the next day.

Obey-Fabiyi stated that when he learned of Olayinka’s passing, he was on a brief holiday in the United Kingdom.

In a statement, he expressed his sorrow at his son’s passing and said that, despite his best efforts as a father, nothing could stop him from succumbing to his weaknesses.

He noted that he was starting a new ministry tagged, ‘Freedom from alcoholism and drug addiction ministry’ as part of efforts to join forces with the war against alcoholism and drug addiction, especially among young Nigerians and those in the Diaspora.

The statement read in part,

“The doctors called me six months ago to inform me that Yinka had less than six months to live.

“It was very painful and bad news that a father must not hear about his son.

“Since then, l went back to the Holy Spirit to teach me what to do and the result of my communication with the Holy Spirit is the launching of this ministry.

“I have received several condolence messages from all and sundry. l appreciate everyone for their love and concern. l also thank Yinka’s friends for their efforts and support.

Obey-Fabiyi also thanked pastors, elders and the entire Decross Family for everything.

“Once again, I appreciate all condolences, but let us rather turn further condolences to prayer support of this new ministry to help those who are in pain of alcoholism and drug addiction.

“Job 22:21 says ‘Acquaint now thyself with God, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.’ Get out of Alcoholism, Get out of Drugs. Jesus Loves you,” the musician said.

Obey-Fabiyi assured fans and music lovers that the incident, though sad, would not in any way affect all his pending performance engagements.

He said: “Please, note that all engagements and commitments remain valid and unaffected.”
