Early this month, Thursday March 8, 2018, friends of Pastor Adeolu Adeboye the first son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye hosted him to a very classy 50th birthday celebration.
Also a pastor at the RCCG, the birthday was held at the Comfort Centre, which is located in the Redemption Camp along Lagos/Ibadan expressway.
Although his actual birth date was 29th of January, Pastor Adeolu, according to reports, chose not to have any big celebration then. He was only out of the country with his immediate family.
His close allies waited for him to return and insisted they throw their own classy party to celebrate him.
It was gathered that Deolu, as he is fondly called is not a fan of parties, which shows why his friends made his party a not too loud, yet classy one.
Master Compere, Tunde Adewale (Tee A) anchored the event planned by Pastor Ituah’s wife Ibidunnu Ighodalo (Elizabeth R Events).
Friends arrived early at the venue, especially some elders who admire his lifestyle so much. It was a dinner and the celebrant arrived early too, gracing the red carpet with his pretty wife, Bunmi.
Many friends who attended the event had so many good and sweet things to say about the celebrant but the one that was touching most was that of his father.
Read what Daddy G.O. had to say about his son on the special occasion…
”One of the happiest days of my life was 29th of January of 1968, the day Adeolu was born. He came late for he stayed more than ten months in the womb. He was born with wrinkles all over his body but he was born strong and healthy.
He grew very rapidly and made up for the extra days he had kept us waiting. By the time of his birth, my hobby, my passion was photography. I had my own little studio fully equipped. And so Adeolu is one of the most photographed children ever born.
I photographed him everyday, morning, afternoon, evening and at times when he was asleep. The first day he tried to sit up, supported by pillows, I photographed him.
When he tried to crawl, I recorded it. When he took his first -steps I photographed him. I photographed him on the steps of the house, on the open field, inside a deep river, river Oni, perched on a rock.
We had fun, I carried him on my back, shoulders, head everywhere, we were so very much attached that we made his mother jealous.
I remember that when the suggestion came that I should send him abroad to study, I was reluctant to be separated from him. When the pressure mounted on, I agreed that if he gets the visa then he should go.
I was hoping the embassy, would turn him down. They did not, in fact his interview was very brief. So I had no choice but to let him go.
Adeolu grew up strong diligent and very meticulous. We both share a passion for cleanliness and attention to details.
For those who don’t know, Pastor Deolu runs Wisemen Apparel, the upscale clothing outfit on Opebi Road in Ikeja. His shop is one of the busiest and expensive fashion stores in Edgware district in London and he also has branches in Abuja and other places.
The same could also be said about his wife, Bunmi. She also runs a boutique, Duchess that caters for women, mostly socialites.
Pastor Deolu’s wife no doubt, is a pretty and stylish woman you will admire any day. Deolu style his dad and he also has other businesses, and those close to him say he is very hardworking.
Deolu is the leader of Team Nehemiah, a department that provides efficient security and traffic control on the grounds of the Redemption Camp.
Happy birthday to him.
