CAN you give us the background
story about your ministry?
To God be the glory, God located me.
In 1994, I was in Ekiti on the 17th of
July, I heard the voice of God that told
me to go to the city called Ibadan to
go and start a ministry and that He
was going to use me all over the world.
And he showed me a crowd that I
did not know where it ended.
Then, I woke up because it was a
dream. Meanwhile, in 1993 on the
17th of September in My dream; I saw
heaven opened and seven angels of
God descended from above and
anointed me, and told me to go and
preach the word of God to the world.
When I woke up, the anointing was
flowing in my body and it did not drop
on my bed.
So, those are the secrets people do
not know. I heard the voice of God that
led me.
After then, I began to argue with God
on why should I begin my ministry in
Ibadan.
I did not know anybody in Ibadan; I
did not have any relatives in Ibadan.
These arguments took me nine (9)
years, but to God be the glory after
that, I decided to accept the call, I
fasted for seven (7) years and I went
to Ikeji Arakeji, where God called
Apostle Babalola then, to know what
is happening to me, first and second
day on Ikeji Arakeji I didn't receive
any message from God. On the third
day, I was coming out from the
bathroom, I heard a voice saying: "I
sent you to Ibadan and you refused,
that was why you were encountering
the problems and until you follow my
wish, your problems would not stop."
It was after then I began to follow
the voice of God and decided to come
to Ibadan. I was a printer by
profession; I was also a timber
contractor, I engaged in laundry
business. I have washing machines,
industrial irons, Lister generator to
power my equipment.
Then at the same time, I had a
barbers' shop. Then, my business
name was BLESSMOM Ventures.
Then I received an instruction that
as I was going to Ibadan, I should not
take any belonging along with me. I
should just leave everything behind.
I left with three(3) trousers, three (3)
shirts and three (3) undies,
That was how I came to Ibadan
without any property. I was married
with kids. There was nothing I could
do, I had to source for money on
relocating to Ibadan. That was how my
ministry started, after we started the
ministry God commanded me to start
50 days white fasting and prayer,
which I did for 12 good years, after it
God still commanded me to start 201
days fast and prayer, after He still
commanded me to start 250 days vigil
, God again commanded me to go on

2023: How to avert looming

coming out from the
bathroom, I heard a

not stop
Vanguard, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2022 — 15
365 days Fasting and Prayer after all
this fasting and prayer, God now came
to the ministry. That is the secret of
the ministry.
How did you come about the
crusade name: 'Olorun Se bi Oba'?
Thank you. One day, I was travelling
to Lagos and when I got to beggar, I
saw a revelation; "Power to Reign".
Our programmes were in Yoruba. So,
I thought of how to interpret the
revelation into Yoruba. So, it came to
me as "Agbara lati se bi Oba" that was
how I interpreted it.
And I started a Programme tagged:
"Agbara lati se bi Oba." When I started
this weekly Programme, we recorded,
twenty people, thirty people could
worship with us, but as time went on,
we started recording one-fifty or two
hundred people.
So, when people saw miracles, they
started saying we are going to "Se bi
Oba." That was how I got the nickname
till date.
Since you started your ministry,
how has 'the road' been?
Well, crisis happens everywhere, but
to God be the glory , I have never
experienced any crisis in my ministry.
All I knew was that, if you are truly
called by God, there are certain things
you must encounter, but I did not look
into that as crisis. They are ways of
strengthening someone in the
ministry. And to the glory of God, the
church is growing in lips and bounds.
Talking about the growth of his
church, Apostle Solomon said " when
a church is growing, the minister is
also growing, though, on this
mountain, , it was a rented apartment
before. But to the glory of God,
whatever structures you are seeing
today were the hand work of God. We
have several branches in Ibadan, Iri
Owuro and Wakati Iyanu programme
is aired in 75 radio and television
stations across the country.
We have branches also outside the
country, That is, we are heard locally
and internationally.
As the 2023 General Election is
approaching, what is your message
for Nigerian?
Lots of pressmen have been here to
seek my opinion on the forthcoming
elections, but I have been trying to
refrain from making comments. I have
my reasons for that. In the past, I made
some predictions and they came to
pass about the former President
Goodluck Jonathan So, I don't want
to make any prediction now. I made a
prediction about Jonathan that he
would not win the second term
election and it came to pass. I said
then that I saw a change of
government. I saw that Buhari won
the election. I even predicted his
second term emergence; which was
published in many newspapers in
Nigeria then, I was not so much
famous, but now, I am a bit famous
(smiling).
If I say anything now, it will go viral.
We know what is happening and lots
of hidden agenda. Everybody
believes that elections will not be held
next year (2023) because of what they
are saying. Now, the Yoruba group has
a problem that has been on for a long
time.
Let's cast our minds back to 1963,
Obafemi Awolowo was supposed to be
the Prime Minister, but it eluded him.
The same thing happened to M.K.O.
Abiola in 1993, thirty years after.
Another thirty years here again, the
same scenario is about to happen. So,
Yoruba people need to pray.
I raised this message during one of
my services, "Iri Owuro" before a
political party decided on having
Muslim- Muslim ticket. I told them
they should be watching what will
happen. The Yoruba should watch
what will happen.
Now, Yoruba is against Muslim -
Muslim ticket, Christians are against
Muslim -Muslim ticket. Nigerians
should pray very well. I will reveal a
little. God showed me a vision twelve
years ago that Nigerians should pray
very well that a time was coming that
one man will rise from the Igboland,
and that man people will love him.
And another man will in Yorubaland
and people will love him. Another man
will rise from the north and few people
will love him. That was what God told
me. Now the problem is, that Yoruba
man needs serious prayers, because
there will be a great protection for the
man that will rise from the Igboland.
I saw arrow set towards the man. So,
before elections day, that man needs
prayers. I announced the revelation
in my church.
If they kill that Igboman man, there
will be a crisis. So, Nigerians need to
pray very well to avert imminent war
in 2023.
So, Nigerians need to pray very well
