“His greatest strength in music, he tells all those who care to listen, is in his composition of music”
And he still finds time to combine music with his church evangelism. What is more stunning is how Obey went off the music scene in the late 80’s and returned about 4 years ago to pick up his leadership position yet again.
The big news right now is that Ebenezer Obey who is in his 70’s has just been appointed a visiting Artiste/Emeritus Professor in the Dept. of English and Performing Arts of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago- Iwoye. He would be publicly presented to the university on 7th July, 2014.
At 73, Ebenezer Obey- hale and hearty- is a music guru, a successful artist, band leader, church leader, father, grandfather and businessman. Despite all these, he still has time to rehearse once a week and still composes new music. He is a gifted musician who is in 50-year career has composed lots of hit song that have remained evergreen tunes.
Right now, Ebenezer obey has new sets of fans aside his generation who knew him before his long break from music. This 2nd generation consists of those who only got to see him after his return. And the third is the absolutely new generation who didn't grow up to meet Ebenezer Obey. There is also another generation of Nigerians who live abroad who have never seen Ebenezer Obey’s live performances and as such they are eager to see him perform live in far off countries like Dubai, Canada, USA, and England. Across South West Nigeria , Ebenezer Obey has been the reigning artiste among the rich, the mighty and the famous.
Ebenezer Obey recently completed a successful trip to Dubai for a big show and embarked on a month playing tour of the US. He has also been moving from one church to the other on invitation for music ministration. Despite his busy music schedules, he balances them well with his church activities and crusade programs.
