My name is Aina
Adegun. I work with Lagos State Security and this is my sixth year as a member
of this faith. Formerly, I was a Christian. A Christ Apostolic Church member,
in fact, I was an integral part of their choir.
When I met my
husband, we had our introduction, then one Sunday, I asked him, “don’t you go
to church?” he responded, “He always do”
Then I asked him, “let
us go to your church which he obliged.
As we got to church
of Orunmila in Somolu, I noticed this particular chant of giving praises such
as ‘Eyin Odumare!’ I was scared and took to my heels. I thought they meant
‘bird of Olodumare’
I ran to my mother
and explained to her my observation in this strange church. My mother too was
puzzled. Eventually, I got pregnant and delivered my first baby Ayeduro Adegun.
The church came and
performed the naming ceremony.
One day I thought about it, will
I be staying indoors and not attend church programs? Won’t I pray to God no
more?

I started coming gradually.
My husband told me with time, I will understand the faith more.
My father in law gave
me the hymn book of the church and implored me to join the faith.
He emphatically
assured me of the thoroughness of the faith. That I should endeavor to
participate in the praises and responsorial chants.
He used to give me
his tithes to pay on his behalf. This is a schemed way of making me to be
punctual.
I discovered the
truth and light here. Give me a second chance of existence; I will definitely
come back to this faith. Everything here is purity and grace
One unique thing I
observed in this church is the power of love.
In my neighbourhood
where I live, once I am prepared to go to church, my neighbours make obscene
gestures at me, calling me a witch. They always take to their heels.
To be candid, none of
my neighbours at no 54 Odunsi Street, Somolu attended the naming ceremony of my
two children.
They went about
calling us witches. But when they started glancing at the performative rites of
naming ceremony, they were astonished and started gathering. It was a marvel to
behold.
Some of them have
started sneaking into my Orunmila church through the back door seeking
solutions to their problems.

Since I joined this
faith, I have become one of the happiest people on earth.
At a time, when I was
attending an apostolic church in Graceland in Somolu, though I was well
received but I got bothered their penchant for extravagance on material things
to drive the gospel.
When you cannot meet
participate in their extravagance, they rain insults at you.
In the church of
Orunmila, they have never asked me to bring anything living or dead for
sacrifice. Six years down the line, I have no regrets whatsoever of joining
this faith.
In Orunmila church,
God answers prayers. I have great testimonies to share to the world. Sometime
ago, we had an auditing process and reconciliation recently and there were a
whole lot of technical hindrances. I had to call on Orunmila to intercede and I
encountered a miracle. The process went smoothly for me to the bewilderment of
colleagues
Some of my friends
always beg me to introduce my priest to them. They are Christians but they
sneak in many times into Orunmila church and they always give great
testimonies.
