Obiora “Obiwon” Nwokolobia-Agu, once celebrated as one of Nigeria’s finest R&B singers, made a life-altering decision to switch to gospel music. This transition wasn’t smooth; the church initially rejected him, pastors denied his ministry, and fellow gospel artists didn’t readily accept him. Amidst these challenges, Obiwon faced a life-threatening illness, finding strength in his unwavering wife who stood by him through it all.
Despite the setbacks and rejections, Obiwon’s resolve remained unshaken. “My wife is a gift, she’s a blessing. She has seen it all,” he shares, crediting her for her steadfast support during the toughest times. Her presence and faith became his anchor, helping him navigate the stormy waters of his career shift.
In his interview with the media personality Chude Jideonwo, Obiwon reflects on his journey, questioning whether he regrets the switch.
