Ooni’s Testimony On How He Planted Redeemed Church In Brazil

Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has let slip how he helped to establish a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG in Brazil.

The Ooni gave the testimony in Dublin, Ireland last Sunday during a church service in a branch of the Redeemed Church of God in the European country.  

The Yoruba king is currently on a one-week tour of Ireland attending an art and craft festival and other events in fulfilment of his commitment to the global promotion of African culture in Europe.

The Ooni of Ife had on Sunday worshiped at the RCCG Jesus Center in Dublin where he called on the Christians to take Godliness beyond church going. 

“I feel so good being with you my people here today. I deliberately came here this morning because I wanted to join my fellow Nigerians to worship together which to me is a show of love,” the traditional ruler was quoted as saying in a press statement issued by Comrade Moses Olafare, Director, Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace

While encouraging the brethren in the church to continue in fellowship he said:

“The joy of origination flows whenever you see your people you have not seen for a long time, that is love in its natural form.

“I am part of the Redeem Church. I was in Brszil last year and I saw a large number of Yoruba people and other Africans but no Redeem church there. We did what we needed to do and Redeem church is now starting in Brazil. This is love.

“Godliness is beyond church going. Its more about love because God himself is love and Jesus Christ too is love,” the traditional ruler added.

Pastor Tunde Adebayo-Oke thanked Ooni for the show of love by worshiping at the church. He described the king as special gift to humanity.

“Kabiyesi is one of the biggest kings Africa and he is a father to all of us.

We have seen, heard and read about his efforts to help the poor, the youth and the nations with his peace and unity agenda. He is truly a man of love”. Pastor Oke said.

The Ooni also paid a courtesy call on the Nigerian embassy in Dublin where he was received by the ambassador, Dr (Mrs.) Uzoma Emenike.

“We are grateful to have you here. When I heard the noise this morning, I looked through my window and I saw that big royal umbrella and I watched the Oyinbo people (as we call them) looking at your majesty with excitement, Wow! I felt so proud of our culture and tradition. You are indeed a great icon of the rich African culture.

“Let me also tell you kabiyesi that my colleagues who  were at the airport on Saturday to   receive you and your team couldn’t be more proud being Africans from Nigerians. Thank you for adding colour to us by your royal visit,” Amb. Emenike said.

Among the traditional rulers on the entourage of the Ooni are the Ajero of Ijero-Ekiti, HRM Oba Joseph Adewole and Asoya of Isoya-Ife, Oba Muraina Adedini.
