One of Nigeria’s most venerated musicians, Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo, popularly known as ‘Obey Commander’ has opened up on how he survived prostate surgery at the age of 82 years.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Obey had Providence to thank for sparing his life, going through a delicate moment: “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.
Ebenezer Obey who credited his successful surgery to divine intervention, promise to unfold the full testimony when he eventually turns 82 soonest.
He said that: “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 commended Nigerian doctors and prayers that accompanied his recovery as factors that stood out.
In the interview, he revealed how he intended to create public awareness by releasing a song addressing prostate enlargement, saying that, “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.”
The legendary juju maestro disclosed that he also had a major surgery in his legs two years ago, which resulted in some complications he later survived through the help of God.
About his forthcoming birthday in April, he informed that he would engage in charity initiatives across nine locations at Pacelli School for the Blind, and Lepers’ Colony, Abeokuta, Ogun State, among others.
He said that this would be crowned with a thanksgiving on April 3, 2024, in Lagos.
