Veteran Nigerian musician, Ebenezer Obey, has opened up about his near-death experience during a prostate surgery at the age of 82, crediting his survival to the grace of God.
In an interview with Saturday Punch, the legendary musician expressed gratitude for emerging from the surgery at Kelina Hospital, Lagos, and highlighted the role of Nigerian doctors and prayers in his recovery.
Obey recounted, “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.”
The veteran high-life musician revealed his plans to release a song addressing prostate enlargement, intending to raise awareness about the condition.
“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,” Obey added.
