At nearly 50, Nigerian gospel artist Segun Obe found love and recently married his Ghanaian soulmate, Nita. Their love story began five years ago in the most unexpected way—online. Nita stumbled upon Segun’s ministration and was captivated by his voice and message. Little did they know, that moment would be the start of a journey leading to a lifetime of love.
A Chance Meeting Turned Love Story
When asked how he met Nita, Segun shared, “My partner heard about my voice training workshop, ‘Voice It Out with Segun Obe,’ and she came all the way from Canada to attend one of the editions. I was super touched by this gesture and kept in touch with her. Our chats felt like conversations between old friends; they flowed naturally. Her humility and deep knowledge of God and His word also wowed me. This went on for about four years, and as they say, ‘the rest is history.'”

Finding Love Later in Life
Finding love later in life comes with its own set of perspectives. Segun, who will be 50 this October, reflected on the timing of their union. “The good thing about getting married at my age is that you have seen life in its fullness, and nothing ‘shacks’ you again. At that age, you make holistic decisions. It’s no longer about body shape but more about connection and deep feelings. Any regrets marrying at this age for me? NONE WHATSOEVER.”
The Role of Faith
For Segun, faith played a pivotal role in his decision to marry Nita. “God’s ways are NOT our ways, neither are His thoughts our thoughts. God speaks to my spirit, and I hear it loud and clear. When I hear from my Heavenly Father, I run with it. I knew exactly what I wanted in my wife, and she checked all the boxes. Very considerate, down-to-earth, caring, loves the Lord with her whole heart. My spirit told me it was time, and I made my move—simple.”

Handling Pressure and Waiting for the Right Time
Like many, Segun faced pressure to get married, but he stood firm in his convictions. “Pressure was my middle name during that period, but I knew what I wanted and never allowed the pressure to prevail. I would rather have a peaceful home than a home full of war just because I wanted to marry early. Nita is my peace, and I am glad I waited. Even though it was a painful process, nothing good comes out of comfort zones.”
Nita’s Perspective: A Meeting Ordained by God
Nita shared her side of the story, saying, “I first came to know of Segun Obe when I saw him minister a song at his church in November 2019 online. I was so blessed by how God used him. Back in April 2020, I decided to fly out to Nigeria to attend a vocal training session called ‘Voice It Out,’ facilitated by Segun. I went and had the best time ever! There was also an opportunity to meet Segun. We talked, and over time, our friendship grew. Today, the rest is history. To God be the Glory.”
