Love has no manual, no patterns, or formulas—it simply unfolds beautifully at the right time. At almost 50, Nigerian gospel artist Segun Obe found love and married his Ghanaian soulmate, Nita.

The first chapter of their love story began five years ago when Nita came across his ministration online. In a society where love often comes with expectations and timelines, Segun’s journey offers a refreshing perspective. We had the opportunity to interview Segun and hear his thoughts on finding love later in life, the challenges, the joys, and how their faith played a pivotal role in bringing them together. We’ve also got lovely photos from their wedding and their love in each frame is so magical… you certainly want to keep scrolling to take it all in!

Enjoy their white wedding photos below and see their pre-wedding shoot here:

How did you meet Nita?

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 I kept in touch with her. Our chats were like people who had known each other for years and flowed naturally… Her level of humility and deep knowledge of God and His word also wowed me. This went on for about 4 years and as they say “the rest is history”

Nita and Segun also had their traditional wedding and here’s how it went:

What were some of the key factors that led to you deciding that this was the right time?

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… and when I hear from my heavenly Father (as a gospel artist,/child of God) I run with it. I knew exactly what I wanted in my wife (mannerisms) and she checked all the boxes, Very considerate, down to earth, caring, loves the Lord with her whole heart, and trust me, any woman who can love and passionately follow a God she cannot physically see will have no challenges loving a man she sees daily, my spirit told me it was time and I made my move… simple.

How has your perspective on marriage evolved over the years?

The good thing about getting married at my age (I am gonna be 50 in October this year by the way so technically I am 49, hehehehe) is that you have seen life in it’s fullness and nothing “shacks” you again. At that age, you make a holistic decision when it comes to life’s choices. It’s no longer about body shape and so on at this age/stage but more about connection and deep feelings… This is not to say everyone should get married at 50 oooooo, but then everyone’s story is different and this is my story. Any regrets marrying at this age for me??? NONE WHATSOEVER

Was there any pressure from your family to get married and how were you able to handle it?

Pressure was my middle name actually during that period but I knew what I wanted and never allowed the pressure to prevail. Getting a divorce 3 years after getting married due to pressure ain’t a testimony trust me. l know who I am and WHOSE I am. So that makes it easier to relax in God and wait for my time and season. I would rather have a peaceful home than a home full of war just cause I wanted to marry early. Nita is my peace and I am glad I waited, even though it was a painful process but nothing good comes out of comfort zones. Pain brings out the best in anyone who is ready to go through the process howbeit hard and rough. I guess I would say in conclusion GOD KEPT ME and I mean that in every sense of the word… Glad it ended in praise… hallelujah to Jesus.
