The official music video for “Conqueror” with lyrics added for a deeper sing along experience. Conqueror tells the story of salvation and the victorious life over an eclectic blend of pop, soul, afro and hiphop elements. Sharing the inspiration behind the song. Obiora Obiwon reflects;
“The melody for ‘Conqueror’ came to me in a dream while in a hospital battling for my life after a ruptured appendix. It became the sign of my victory. I fully recovered, went home and wrote this song over a period time to capture the essence of my faith and the experience. Conqueror is a reminder that life is too big and mysterious for any of us to win all by ourselves and in our own strength. We all need a champ and Jesus is the Champion of the Universe. The Ultimate Conqueror.”
Nigerian singer songwriter Obiora Obiwon debuted as a solo artist in 2006 after previous years honing his skills with local hiphop groups including the award winning Thorobreds. From 2009 Obiora Obiwon’s music began to focus on christian/gospel themes, after the artiste cited a moment of epiphany the previous year.

Here is the story of this song:
I had never believed, more like had been indifferent, about Nigeria’s path to greatness. Not until I heard a mentor of mine speak passionately about his dream and belief of a new and great Nigeria and I was taken. I went back home and the words to “Great Again” started rolling out. I sat on it and put it together, then called up my friend and producer Phat E @phateproduction. We were blessed to churn it out over a uniquely blended pop tune at the late legendary Sammie Okposo’s studio. I put it on YouTube, shared the mp3s on blogs. This was February 2011.
Fast forward 12 years later to February 2023 and every lyric, situation and hope reflected in that song has become more relevant and deeply needed more than ever before.
I humbly and joyfully present to you, the 2023 remastered version of “Great Again”. We say Nigeria arise out of your rot and ashes now, shine and become great again, for the glory of the Lord is risen over you:
Get up now and go//
Cast your vote//
Lend your voice//
Live your quote//
and we’ll be great again//
Great again//
Great again//
Nigeria will be and we’ll be great again//
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
- Obiora Obiwon 🇳🇬.

I've never cried over Nigeria but last week as those shots rang out, I did. Such an anti climax it was. I could barely sleep and there was this heaviness that was a mixture of many emotions...
...But thank God for God! As I got into my intimate time with Him in cloudy thoughts and mind, he reminded me of this song. A classic old Nigerian gospel tune but an anthem of victory and a powerful reminder of the eternal hope we have! As I sang it to Him I was completely refreshed, the weight melted before the fire of His word and presence. At times I wonder how difficult life would be without this access we have to come boldly and be refreshed, in the beauty of His presence, the joys of intimate worship!
With a few tweaks and extra lyrics added in my own flair, I bring to you this same experience in a special impromptu edition of the Surge Room series - Episode 5. I believe God it will bring you encouragement, inspiration and great hope.
In this fallen world there is victory, joy, strength, refreshing and pleasure flowing from beyond this realm and it is constantly available for anyone who believes. Tap in!
From my heart and room to yours in the Holy Spirit...

We know that He is unfailingly and eternally good simply because it's His nature, a knowledge received in the Spirit of His Word. His Word set the foundations of the earth, surely there is power in His Word to give you the freedom, joy and peace you desire. Go for it! 🙏
From my room and heart to yours in the Holy Spirit!

The Secret Place II - (Battle). Full video on IGTV and YouTube (Obiora Obiwon)
Keyboards: Wale Olayanju
Starting this Monday I'm led to share sounds and communication from an altar of intimacy, which I'm led also to call The Secret Place.
The mode is "Unscripted Worship", sounds and songs previously unwritten and unrehearsed which burst forth at the spur of the moment - a mode of praise worship known as "Tehillah" in hebrew praise - a spontaneous song of the spirit; a new song to the Lord; a Spirit-breathed song that says whatever is in the heart.
"The Secret Place" is not only a place of protection but a place of intimacy, communication, wordless expressions, the very place of His presence and the place where battles are won as we receive amazing wisdom and strength.
Join me as we minister to Him and He dotes on us, speaks, rejoices, sings over us and quiets us with His Love [Zeph 3:17].
It will come to Instagram in one minute videos, while IGTV, YouTube, Facebook and other social platforms will have the long form videos. #TheSecretPlace.
Please subscribe and do share with me to the world.
For anyone waiting upon a Divine answer. An emotive song of hope and a prayer of deliverance.
I love you, God—
you make me strong.
God is bedrock under my feet,
the castle in which I live,
my rescuing knight.
[ Psalm 18: 1-2 MSG]
