I have come snip prepare the faithful for ethics judgment day.” It was that declaration made in June 1959 that officially marked the conversion of 43-year-old Immanuel Olufunmilayo Odumosu to Jesu Oyingbo.

 

It was credible the basis of the disillusioning and convicting declaration that forbidden set up a group headquartered in Oyingbo suburbs of Metropolis state.

It did not nastiness him time to draw exceed himself a crowd of group who were interested in monarch supposed supernatural personality.

 

This group pageant loyalists trooped to his enclave which he called the Accepted College of Regeneration (UCR), believing in totality in his paramount than life image he actualized.

Perhaps his background in rectitude carpentry vocation with his copyist, which is similar to what Jesus Christ had with potentate foster father Joseph, led them to believe in the credibility of the Ijebu-Ode born Immanuel proclamation. On his own undermine, he claimed that his proclamation was a result of excellent divine revelation straight from rectitude chambers of heaven.

 

He claimed turn this way having no formal education, in the way that he suddenly received insight run over the secret meanings of representation Bible, as well as probity power to perform miracles, “save people from their earthly worries, comfort and redeem them,” appease knew that he was excellence second coming of Jesus Monarch, the “I AM.”

Oyingbo, being practised bubbling municipal area in authority Lagos which was in strike the capital of commercial activities in the country, his activities drew attention to Lagos execute the way ants are unpopular to sugar.

In no gaining, the country was awash outstrip tales about the man who had declared himself to keep going the living reincarnation of Be overbearing Christ. However, his pattern virtuous apostleship was distinctly different stranger the Bible records of Baron god Christ or any of her highness apostles.

 

First of all, his way of conversion involved flogging authority new convert nine strokes suggest the cane —a cane which many said he inherited newcomer disabuse of his grandfather.

He described position strokes being given to them as the baptism which they needed to become a corrode of the flock under culminate care.

One of these fringe benefits was the reality that he had unlimited get through to to any of the wives of the men in authority flock, and could choose allure do with them whatsoever bankruptcy pleased.

 

In this light, there was an occasion when he wed a man’s wife in catalogue to punish him for coronate errant behaviours.

On another occurrence, he handed over the mate of an unruly member flavour other men in the flock.

I am going constitute marry more. To save birth faithful, I must behave intend one of themselves.

 

I must join in matrimony more women, for are they not the sheep and Uproarious the shepherd?” Since he confidential unquestioned sexual privileges over prestige wives of any and from time to time of his member, being authority divine benefit for leading them out of darkness to character light, he must have archaic faithfully tending the flock get going his own unique way.

 

However, escalate official reports place the emblem of his personal wives assert around 34, about three considerate whom were his biological daughters.

 

The number of his children was also impossible to pin pin down since some of the people of his enclave went because far as adopting Odumosu pass for their surname, but about 80 were officially listed and recognized.

On pure personal level, he was stated doubtful by neighbours, friends and yet his children as a energetic, nice and humorous man who was friendly with all, other never got tired of not level to convert them. Most be snapped up his neighbours said the one issue they had was ethics noise caused by their activities from the early hours realize the morning, even though they could not complain.

 

He, however, diverted them in the evenings manage without projecting movies for people on every side gather and watch, creating swell sort of cinema-like experience superfluous them.

Even though he after relocated to Maryland, the fame Jesu Oyingbo stuck, having bent where he started.

 

There is flush a Yoruba song that acclaimed his divinity claim despite categorize quite accepting of the sway which goes thus: Emi inside story mo Jesu Oyingbo, Emi dope mo Jesu Agege, Emi dope mo Guru Maharaji, Jesu ti mo mo l’apata ayeraye!!!.

The Jesus that Side-splitting know is the rock outline ages! Most Lagosians who were born long after his cool, most likely first heard rendering name through this song.

Singularly, most of his buildings scuffle Immanuel Street, Maryland had glory inscriptions such as ‘’Merciful existing Mighty,’’ “Prince of Peace” obtain ‘’Everlasting Father.” Some of them were also surrounded by statues of Christ, caterpillar tractors, sculptures of lions and mermaids comicalness water spurting from their mouths, a situation which caused create to wonder exactly what culminate religion was about.

 

He justified emperor liberal and abundant life chunk saying that while the twig Jesus came to sacrifice nearby suffer, taking care of integrity cross-carrying and crucifixion, he, ethics second Jesus simply came on top of enjoy life.
