The new Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, has cleared the air concerning his ascension to the stool of his forefathers, claiming that he accepted the role because God told him to do so.

Speaking to of his Church in a video posted to the Facebook page of InsideOgbomoso, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Jesus House, Washington DC pastor said he did not accept his new role because he had nothing else to do.

Hinting that he had planned to retire from the pastoral ministry after 30 years of service, Olaoye said his plan was to travel the world after his retirement.

He, however, said he was born into a royal family and entitled to the throne of Ogbomoso.

Olaoye, who apologised to his for “any embarrassment” they might have “felt by what has gone on on the social media,” saying he was “genuinely sorry,” explained that he had served at Jesus House for 26 years and the Church had become his family.

Olaoye said, “While I was in Nigeria in December, the king of our town died. I’m really close to the family because, like I said, I’m from a royal family.

“After the Oyewumis, the Ajagungbades…my family is next. Everybody from Ogbomoso who is familiar with the tradition knows that. And I, of course, knew about that.

“But I was not interested in it at all, because I believed that I had gone on a completely different part.”

Olaoye said his father also never told him that he could become the Soun of Ogbomoso if he wanted to be, so he never had any intention of becoming the king of the ancient town.

He said people close to him and knew his family was the next to ascend the throne began to call him and to ask him to consider taking up the throne.

Olaoye said he called his spiritual father, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, to intimate him of the situation. He said when he told Adeboye that he was not interested, the G.O. asked him not to say that but to fast and pray about it.

He said he did not take the advice seriously as he did not pray about it.

He, however, said that he heard God tell him on January 2, 2022, that becoming the Soun of Ogbomoso was his destiny.

“The next thing I heard, clearly, ‘You were born for this; this is the reason for your birth.’

“That’s what I heard. Of course, that’s not what I was expecting. But, let me tell you this, when I hear, I am 10/10” he said.

demented holy fools!

.

See talk

Rccg, be making headlines likeee...

god of the land is better than the foreign god

Men are really funny!


That's how one told us he drove from Ore to Lagos on empty tank

Okay it seems you lived all youthful life in abroad America precisely. Kabiesi see your position as a call to service humanity shunned anything in form of bribery use your wealth of experience to rebuild ogbomosho.

They use this name every time


Only the gullible will believe

God can bless anybody, allow the man to enjoy his life abeg.

Same way God told Osinbajo to become vice president and Remi Tinubu to become a senator.... Look where that has gotten us today as a country.

RCCG and it's pastoral ordination process really needs to be checked because these guys after ordination keeps bringing the name of God to disrepute by saying things that we know God would never say to their type of person.

If Osinbajo and Remi Tinubu after their open and bold telling of lies in public can still remain a pastor in RCCG then it shows that the ordination is not of God.

Been a member of RCCG for more than 12yrs but my distaste for the church in the last 2yrs is on the high side and I'm still seeking out a good church free of scandal to start attending.

Time will tell!

Christians should be very watchful of their utterances against Pastor Olaoye as what he did might've been commanded by Yahweh as he works in mysterious ways and his wisdom, as our perfect Holy Bible said, looks like foolishness unto man.

Yahweh once told the Israelites to kill all Midianites but keep young virgin girls as war booty. This sounds wrong to us but whatever Yahweh commands is wise even if it looks wrong in our limited knowledge he has his reasons

Yahweh figuratively destroyed Saul for not totally destroying the Amalekites

Yahweh once told Ezekiel to eat bread baked with human shiit

Same way Yahweh sent lying spirits to Ahab's prophets. This also sounds wrong to us but he has his reasons we aren't privy to and he answers to no one

Yahweh also hardened Pharaoh's heart while using that as opportunity to send more plagues and kill innocent people until all firstborn sons of the Egyptians are dead. This also sounds cruel but that's Yahweh showing us his loving power and nobody should question him

Yahweh struck Onan dead for refusing to cum into his brother's wife's vagyna


Yahweh's ways are not our ways. its possible Yahweh instructed Pastor Olaoye to become Soun Of Ogbomoso. Yahweh might have his reasons so we should not use our limited knowledge to judge what a man talking to a being of unlimited knowledge does. Beware not to bring a curse upon your lives and future generations by attacking a true man of Yahweh

Congratulations to our new Kabiesi

I ed that time one con artist told us that God told him he will be president in 1999, that the election is just formalities

The same one also said God drinks tea with him.

God told you?

Hmmm!

But God didn't tell you the solutions to Nigeria's problems?

Hmmmmmmm, pastor ghandi you too

But why are people condemning this pastor and sparring the vice president?

Infact I still prefer an oba role than a political position.........but we still see Osinbajo as righteous man and praise him, a senior pastor in redeem having communion with people in darkness who has more of political ambition than pastoral goal

If we condemn this man then the vice president should not be praised because they all eat from same plate.

No body holy my people

Adeboye pastors. That's why I only look up to God alone

They don come again with this God told me...

RELIGION ehh!

A way into the heart of demented fools, religious bigots.

Watch how the demented, religious bigots will spread this like a wild fire.

I don't see anything wrong in respecting and being involved with culture. Even Jesus went to the synagogue as it was the Jewish culture and religious practice of that time. Know ur bible for yourself and don't be looking at any pastor.

It's possible if you don't touch the steering, the steering is the main thing that consumes fuel.

There is something not right about rccg, the Bible tells me you cannot serve Mammon and God together. Hmmm! My people, know the God you will serve.
