He said, “The first thought that came to his mind when I heard that his daughter had been delivered of a baby was that he was getting old to the point that he had become a grandfather and he thanked God.

I was actually surprised when the news went viral because I’m not the first person to become a grandfather, he said.
Also, good news rarely ‘trend’ in Nigeria as people seem to like negative news more.

It then dawned on me that God really loves me and causes good things to happen to me.

There is nothing special that I do. It’s just God that directs me. Even when I got the chieftaincy title of ‘Agba Akin Bobagunwa of Yorubaland,’ people did not criticize it. Out of every 10 people that reacted to the news, nine of them appreciated it. Also, on my birthday, January 28, I usually get good wishes from all over the world, yet I have never had a birthday party.

I usually spend it at home with my family. God loves me so much, and that’s why I gave my grandson the name, Goodnews. I am happy that people always like to hear good news about me.”

When asked about his lifestyle as a grandfather, Obesere said he is not doing anything wrong.

“There is nothing I’m doing that is bad. I only keep doing the things I do that make people love me so much. It is my music career that has made me popular, and I thank God that He has blessed the work of my hand.
