I was born into a Moslem family on January 2nd, 1957 at 2 O'clock. I cannot say whether it was in the afternoon or in the night but I was told that I was born at 2 O'clock.

At age five, I went to live with my grandmother, when my parents travelled to the United Kingdom for six years. I had my primary education at Ago-ljaye Methodist School , Ebute-meta Lagos . My Secondary Education was at Methodist Boys High School, Ebute-Meta, Lagos. I later proceeded to Federal School for Arts and Science for my A' levels where I was admitted for evening classes that lasted for 3 years.

After my A' levels, I worked for 9 months with Glaxo in Apapa as their Laboratory Assistant. It was there that I developed interest in Pharmacy. I was later admitted into the University of Lagos in October, 1980 to study Pharmacy. In fact, I was number 8 on the admission list. Actually my initial intention was to read Medicine because my fathers' second wife used to call me 'doctor' and I grew up to like that. But because of inadequate career guidance or by destiny, I could not read Medicine. First, I applied to the University of Ibadan for Medicine, but fell short of the admission requirements because I made 6 points at my A' level instead of the 7 points required to study medicine.

I got born again at Federal School of Arts and Science in January 1977.1 was attending ECWA Church but I was not baptized in the Holy Spirit. For four years, I worked in ECWA Children Church until my admission at the University of Lagos.

There, I came in contact with Rev. (Dr.) Tunde Jooda (then a medical student) now the Senior Pastor of Christ Chapel International Lagos. He was the person that God used to help me gain the basic foundational knowledge of the word of God. He also exposed me to the teachings and books of great men of God such as Kenneth Copeland, Oral Robert, Kenneth Hagin etc.

It was at UNILAG that I got my calling and knew that I would be a Pastor. But the 'how' and 'where' was not known to me because all my life experience, I was born in Lagos and did everything in Lagos (laughed). But when the time came, God supernaturally moved me out of Lagos.
