He responded to a question during the interview saying: “Ebenezeri is a song I wrote for my choir last year November for our church anniversary. It is a yearly program and it was that time of the year that we had our anniversary and the choir would always perform a special number at each occasion.
“Being the head of the choir, I was supposed to write a song and for some reasons nothing was coming to my head. I had so much I was doing at the time so I remember someone coming to meet me to ask how far with the song, I told him we will probably pick one of our old songs and perform it.
“But then when I got home I realised that if I do this, people will think I’m lazy so I said a short prayer that God please give me lines so I can go and teach your people on Sunday. Hours after, God gave me the word Ebenezeri which means My help has come. So I started working on the song with my Piano and that was how I wrote the song.”
