Earlierthis week, we reported that Prophet C.O Mohammed had gotten married to one Elizabeth Olujobi (HERE).
Well, in a telephone conversation with KFB this morning, the couple cleared the air on some misconceptions.
Firstly, Elizabeth is not in her early twenties, she is actually a 35 year old mum of three.
“I am just lucky to be blessed with a fine stature” Elizabeth said.
Secondly, they have been together for many years and their first daughter, Sarah is 12…they only just decided to make their wedding official by going to court and having a church wedding last two weeks.
“Thankyou and God bess you” the Prophet said.
They further referred to us to an interview they had with CityPeople Magazine about three weeks
ago where they told their love story.
Read the story below:
Firstly I will like to ask how you got the name Arsenal?
Glory be to God, the name Arsenal came out of the name Sarah, my
first daughters name. There was this Egun man who came to our church
many years ago, and he started calling me Baba Asarah, you know how this
Egun people are when it comes to pronunciation, so later people turn it
to Baba Arsenal and people started calling me Daddy Arsenal since then.
You said you were from a Muslim background before you became a
prophet, how easy was it to convince your parent when you converted?
My parents don’t believe in Christianity or any thing call church,
especially my father. Before my father died, he use to say something to
us which I still remember all the time, he used to say if any of his
children goes into Christian line, he will kill the child, but to my big
suprise, when I joined the ministry, God took away my dad the year I
became an Evangelist, and my mother who is still alive today was the one
who pioneered my journey into Christianity, you know our mothers, my
mother wanted all of her children to be great and successful in life,
because of us, my mother attended different churches, from winners
chapel to CAC, Celestial church, name the church she is always seeking
God’s favor in our lives. If my mother hear that if you go to a
particular church and just clap and something good will happen, my
mother will be there?. So when the ministry started, my mother was in
full support and she is still with me now, we live together in my house.
Can you tell us how you met your wife and as a
man of God how did you know she was the right woman for you?
“I told you I was called in a church called CCC Ase itura Parish
lagos, that was where I met my wife, Elizabeth, before then I was in a
relationship before I left Nigeria and when the journey was about to
start, the woman left, I waited for seven years after she left before I
met my wife, I met her in year 2000, she was a choir at the church and I
never for once knew she was going to be my wife?, although I was one of
her advisers, I do advice her on how to go about certain things in
church and things to do to see a good man as her husband.
During that
period, there is one Woli Okiki, he was my boss’s friend, when he came
to our church he started calling my wife Tomoni, we never understand
Tomoni, but one day I had a dream and I saw this lady in my dream, I
didn’t understand the dream so I went to tell my pastor, and he
interpreted the dream and said it is probably the lady God was talking
about when I came to the church after my first woman left me, I started
crying asking God why, so I started going to prophets for prayers,
during those period a lot of prophecy came in, that the dream was
talking to me and the lady is my wife.
One day one of my spiritual
mothers came, and she never knew anything, she was the one who sealed
the message, she use to call me baba Habeeb and she siad to me God
brought that woman for me to marry, I kept on praying, later my wife had
her own dream and told me the dream as her menthor, I didn’t inteprepte
the message to her, I took her to another prophet, Alabede and he sat
her down and told her the whole story, the one that she can never forget
in her life and that was how the relationship, started. During our
courtship I never touched her or got intimate with her, until the third
year.
Why they decided to get married after having three kids and livig together for years
I am not just a Minister of God, I am also a marriage counsellor,
there is a yoruba adage that says, who ever wants to cloth someone, we
must check his own cloths too, if I want to counsel ?about marriage, if
that person is someone like me, because I don’t believe in what people
say, I believe in practice and practical, if you want to councel me on
something, I will first observe your own way, when I went to the
registry in Ikoyi, our councellor didn’t know what I was observing, I
want to see if she is married, and not just married, he must be a man of
one wife. People don’t believe we celestial do have our weddings, that
was why on the day of my registry, I went there with my full regalia, I
wanted to prove to the world that, we celestians we are in marriage.
